    I tend to like creams over soaps.

    The Frasers looks interesting as well as Olivia's.

    Anyone comment on the scents of these two?

    The Frasers, to me....doesn't have an incredible scent. It isn't horrible, but its not one of my favorites. A lemon-cookie type smell.

    Olivia's creams are available in all of her offered scents. A personal favorite of mine that she offers is the Churchill. Very clean, classy....a true "gentelman's" fragrance.

    Maybe I will go back and explore the Olivia's

    I have to place and order for Crema Sapone Cella so I guess I will get this too!

    Fraser's, never heard of this?

    I have sent you a (small) sample tub of this. It is marked accordingly.

    Don't know about frasers but I have 4 creams by Olivia's:
    Myhrr....wonderfull absolutly lovely warm scent (and all the creams are quite good)
    Amber very nice warm scent as well, just different.
    Rolling Stone: Ver nice fresh scent
    Chill out: Do not like this scent at all. but the cream is quite good.

    Myhrr is my favorite out of those though.

    Olivia Chruchill good cream but a typical smell I dont like. I will still use it because its a great cream.

    I cant comment on the Fraser cream because the smelll must have been altered I received a package from Canada and it had been abused 3 weeks during its travel we feared it would never arrive but it did eventually. The bayrum bottle had broken nothing bayrum wise to be found. The Fraser was all over the place.
    I think I rescued 40% of whats normally in the tub thats enough for me to last 2 years im not too much worried. im just upset that my friend had to pay good money to some Post office #$#%@# who said she was a pro at packing yeah right. The glass splinters also cut up into the other creams so now I have to be carefull where I squeeze or else it will come out of the middle of the creams. smae with the balmsems. I just hope there aint glass in the cream that would really cut up my face. :eek:

    MY favorite creams would be :

    -T&H 1805 (UK)
    -Alando Men Rasier Creme (germany)
    -Verguldehand cream (Netherlands)
    -Taylor Advocado
    -Cerrus (surprisingly underrated cream)
    -Coates Tea Tree

    I'm a big fan of T&H creams. I love the Sandalwood, Rose, and Grafton. 1805 isn't bad either.

    Other creams I enjoy are AoS Lavender and WARS.

    Rene - sorry to hear/see your woes. It is hilarious, that pic. Good Show!
     
  13. +1. That looks like a crime scene photo.

    My favorite creams are Coates, Harris, and Penhaligons, with a smattering of Taylor and T&H thrown in for good measure.

    I just got a jar of C&E Sweet Almond.

    I don't have any other almond scents (it didn't seem like it would appeal to me) but I was offered this in a trade to I took it.

    I guess I was expecting a scent similar to Amaretto or something... this smell as LOT more floral to me... like it should be called honeysuckle, or spring garden or something. It's not an offensive smell, but it certainly isn't what I was expecting from 'Almond'.

    My favorites would be Mugo Real, Body Shop, Omega, and TOBS Rose.

    I'm a fan of the C&E Almond, but it doesn't smell like Almonds at all to me. It smells like Raid© Bug Spray. Good thing I like the smell of Raid©. It smells like...victory.
