Fabulous citrus forward shave this morning as we expect a warm and muggy next few days. I was on the fence as to which combination to use this morning, Arko/Pinaud Citrus Musk or the B &M Nordost. I figure both would be appropriate for this weather. Ultimately I x choose the Nordost.
According to the B & M website the scent description is a follows:
“Nordost is the smell of smoked oranges, their peels made leathery by the heat, their juice darkened and concentrated and wonderful. This is no weak, muddled orange scent, handicapped by the fragility of the fruit’s natural oil, but instead an intense, distinctly authentic fragrance so deeply luscious that you’ll swear you’ve buried your face in a basket of the real thing.”
I think for the most part the description is accurate, however, I do not find it to be intense. I do notice a slight smokiness albeit very subtle to my nose. The Nordost is a winter seasonal released soap and splash. I believe it is appropriate for year round as well.
Therefore, I believe Joe,
@Trigger, probably would like this citrus scent as he is a fan of the citrus. I could bring Joe a sample at our next LI Chapter meet up next month.
Three passes with the DE razor has left my face super smooth. The culminate the shave, I received the missus’ SOA (Seal of Approval) as she indicated that she liked the scent and it seems clean.
I am not going to worry about any copyright infringements Joe,
@Primotenore.
Have a great day gentlemen.
