Of course - I'm just messing with ya ;-) The lemon cleaners in Denmark doesn't smell like Arko. Had they done that I'd probably not like the scent (the association most).
Today's shave with Arko. I've had this stick pressed into a mug uncovered for about a year and have only about 10 shaves left. I could catch the scent as I was lathering but it was really faint.
I've been using mostly Tabac the past few weeks but I pulled out the Arko today. I honestly think Arko is the better performer. Not by a lot but slightly better. While the scents are completely different, I'd say I like them both about the same. Which is to say neither is my favorite but I could live with either. So, IMO, Arko is on par with or a little better than one of the all-time greats. That's not even considering the price. If you're looking for serious bang for the buck, you don't need to look much farther than Arko.
For those of you who like Arko, and I know your out there! Bullgoose Shaving Supplies now has Arko in the red tub and only $5.99. I've never tried Arko so I can't comment on the smell but, one day I may give it a shot now that it's available in the USA and in a tub. It can be found here. http://www.bullgooseshaving.com/arko-shave-soap-in-a-bowl-90g/
I don't mind the Williams scent, I keep forgetting to put Arko on orders all the time though. I really need to stop doing that!
Arko Shaving soap's scent is awesome according to me. It is definitely a fresh,natural and light scent. Sometimes when I get into the bathroom I find myself smelling the bowl of Arko. I hope, I won't be an Arkoholic soon It lathers well and the price of it is really cheap here in Turkey. For those who haven't tried it should just give it a chance. Don't miss it's nice smelling scent.
