    Thank you, Primo. Honestly, if you wanted to wear an Oud fragrance that is not animalistic at all nor funky smelling year round without givig it a second thought, this would be it. It has the ADP dna with those wonderful citruses of orange & Bergamot burst. That initial burst of citrus gives way to the heart and drydown of a gorgeous leather, patchouli and woods while that citrus accord hangs around in the background ever so slightly giving it a light fresh undertone. To me it's their best from the Signature Line and only comes in 2nd to the Masterpiece that is Colonia Intensa Oud (sadly discontinued).

    In my opinion, full bottle worthy.... :happy088:

    A comfortable Pearl 3 pass shave prior to my ED night shift tonight. Hopefully it’s not too bad . I’m smooth and smell great for the shift.

    Happy Healthy Shaves all.

    What shaving soap is that? I don't see a label.

    Tim,

    Ironically enough, it doesn’t have one . It is Razorock’s “Unlabeled” Soap. It smells and works great - plus it comes in a nice heavy glass jar.

    Supposedly it is modeled after Cerruti 1881 . All I know is that it smells very pleasant - somewhat “clean” and slightly woodsy. I like it very much. It’s pretty inexpensive to try and is sometimes listed at $9.99. Give it a try.

    Cheers!

    Josh

    A nice cool gray day, appropriate for a very good soap.
    I'm glad that the Boellis site is short on information about scents and the few provided don't tell me much about them, so I won't be tempted to buy any.

    In this weather, I should have used Atkinsons lavender, but it was in the studio.
    I think I'll survive the disaster...
