RazoRock Cacao. Smells like hand soap out of a gas station bathroom. But man it performs incredibly!
Worst scent in shaving soap?

For me it is likely Speick...great performance, but the scent was unbearable for me.
Arko
I would have to say MB Basil Lime I have quite a few soaps and creams and this is one I just can not deal with. Way to heavy on the basil and not enough lime, IMHO its just bad.
The Italian soft soaps with the artificial bitter almond smell, they perform quite nicely, but the stench makes me nauseous.
Oh man, I forgot about this one. The VDH glycerin soap smells disgusting.
Really more of a cream than a soap, but...
Rancid peanut butter with eau de anchovy top notes.
And it's a supremely crappy shaving product to boot.

My dad was a baker, so I'm too familliar with the scent of marzipan. So everytime I smell an Italian almond soap I want to vomit.
I can handle the scent of Tabac--reminds me of my grandma after one of her bingo benders in Reno. Heck, that stuff practically screams Reno tour bus. The soap that really bugs me is MdC--it smells like Noxema. Noxema was grandma's cure for EVERYTHING.
that's what it is! i got a tub the other day, wonderfull stuff....but i couldn't put my finger on the scent.
I'm struggling with the scent of La Toja stick, and I haven't even shaved with it, yet.
Nope.
I was gifted some of the Speick balm and it was a no go. I've never liked any form of sandalwood. Some of my favorites are Trumper's GFT, CF Lavender, Mama Bear's Ylang Ylang, and Mama Bear's Hydrogen. There are many others, but those are probably my all time favorites.
I'm not that sensitive to soap fragrances, but Tabac is a bit much. I use it anyway, as it's a superb product. <shrug>.
BTW, I like the Arko fragrance (though it's a bit much, too).

Cyril R Salter French Vetiver Shaving Cream....it smells like my dogs breath after she vommits
Speick and Arko are tied for the worst smell, imho.
