Will I like Almond?

[Vlad]

Help me out guys. I read about all these almond-scented products...Acca Kappa, Cella, DRH Almond, P160...the list goes on and on. I'm a huge DR Harris fan, so I'd love to get my one missing soap. But the only experience I've had with "almond" is T&H...and I didn't like it. Didn't even finish the sample.

How do these other almond scents compare?

There are many Almond variations. Don't forget Volabra Almond

AK is a sweet Almond, but not as much as the T&H. And not as strongly scented.

Cella is even sweeter than AK.

Harris Almond soap is really Almond blossom, sort of a tart not sweet floral. It's light.

I don't care for the sweet foodie Almond stuff. The AK does Almond just right for my tastes.

I like TOBS almond cream. Very subtle scent.

+1. It is one of the best TOBS creams IMO.

I've used this a few times and liked it. Unsurprisingly it smells a little of marzipan. Not at all strong.

To me Cella is nice, but everyone is different. I didn't like Trumpers Almond. YMMV

The almond-y scent is old school Italian Barbershop, P.160 is a my favorite. Personally, I love the almost/amaretto scent, especially in the fall/winter months. Really, the only way to find out is to try them.

Valobra is also nice...reminds me of my grandmas homemade biscottis.

Totally nailed it on that one!

Love the stuff! This thread prompted me to use it tonight...as usual the bathroom smelled like an Italian bakery and the product came through with shining stars.
I just need to find a matching after shave now.

Another fan of Valobra almond here! Just love the stuff.

I recently receieved some P.160 Morbido. I love it. It has a subtle cherry scent underneath the almond, and gives a GREAT shave.

I also got a sample of Salter Almond with my order. I've only used it once, but it smelled OK to me.
