Ok my quick review (I'm tired)
This stuff absolutely works...without a doubt it is amazing, however I really dont care for the smell. It is almost a bland flower smell, but I bought 500ml of it and like I said it is simply amazing so I'll use the rest of it. I have very sensitive skin and the coral is recommended above the lime for sensitive skin.
Have the future Mrs. Storm apply it to her legs after shaving. I'll bet you change your mind on the bouquet!Quote:

Doesn't the scent fade within a couple of minutes
so as not to clash with cologne?

Its hard to tell because its a very faint scent. I just dont like smelling like rose water, and that is pretty much what it smells like. But like I said, it works so well Im going to keep using it.Quote:

Can't fault Geo's Coral Skin food ... it's amazing
My girlfriend got me some Molton Brown stuff to try "ultra light bai ji hydrator" it's also rather nice it absorbs better than the skin food ( imho ) and does what it says on the bottle - I'd avoid the supershave olibanum from Molton Brown , for the price it's an absolute disgrace , it dries very quickly too quickly in fact , I'd actually love Dr Phong to give it a review just in case i'm doing summit wrong ... While I'm on the Molton Brown theme ... they're re-charge black pepper showergel is the best thing since sliced bread it smells so good and really wakes you up ..
ps .. I have no connection with Molton Brown whatsoever
:D
Originally I requested samples from Trumper's for the Skin Food, specifically asking for Limes and NOT to send the Coral. They sent both, and the Coral is by far my favorite. On me, the scent disappears within about 5 minutes.

Randy,
I'm with you; I like them both, but prefer the coral. Unfortunately, my wife thinks it smells like an Iranian desert (she lived there for about 4 years--long time ago).

Does Anyone think that it would go nicely with the rose soap? I have the roes soap and cant get enough of it!
Any suggestions welcome, Thanks!!!
Since the main ingredient of Skin Food is rose water, yes, it should make a very fine match. But you never know until you try.Quote:

Don't Know if trumpers had it 5 yrs ago,but the sandalwood skinfood is great stuff.
I have samples of both the Coral and Sandalwood skin foods. They smell great but feel oily to me. I actually enjoy my alcohol infused Pinaud much better. My face feels refreshed and clean rather then moist and oily. That is just my opinion and their products are wonderful overall.
It was one of the first combinations that I ever used since I started (real) wet shaving. The Coral Skin Food is superb in the spring or summer months. It's not very moisturising, but it's a very mild combination of alcohol, menthol, glycerine and rose water.Quote:

Nonetheless, yes it goes superbly with the Rose soap.
