I believe the idea behind this product was to create the most intense rose scented shave soap available. From what I've heard, 'mission accomplished'. Probably pricey and crazy for most, but to a rose afficionado its something really special. I haven't tried it, myself.
One word: Tabac I've paid more for various soaps and creams, but I have yet to find anything that out preforms Tabac. Some may not appreciate the scent, but I think it's better than soaps costing twice as much. I've learned my lesson the hard way.... Expensive does not equal better.
