So...my La Toja tube came in today and as someone mentioned in another post (in what I hoped was the voice of James Brown), "Look out!". The scent is something else - super earthy and arromatic in a way I can't get my head around. I think that if there was a contest to name the scent of the LT, I would make my entry "Dawn on the Sarengeti". The lather is good, a little more foamy than creamy and the scent is definately staying for seconds. I'm not sure that this will be a fist call cream for me - I think I like the bracing quality of the menthol/eucalyptus...more of the soapy/fresh feel, but none the less I am pleased to have it as part of the arsenal (such as it is). I'll add to this if I think of anything else...
Have a great night!
