Thread: Meißner Tremonia - Die Baderisten

Got a tub of Strong 'N Scottish and Lavender De Luxe today, here are my initial impressions.
I test lathered and they are great, very little needed to make good amount of lather.
For the test I used Semogue 620, 830 and Thater 49125/3, all performed really well with the crams.
One note on the Strong'N Scottish, it is indeed strong. When I initially smelled the cream it reminded me a lot of tar soap, but then I realized it is more of a deep leathery smell. This is a very interesting scent that will go great with Mugler Pure Leather for example.

I received the Dark Limes and Pink Grapefruit hard soap the other day. Both have a great scent and lather without any problems at all. Here is my shave with the Dark Limes and this was after 3 passes. There was enough lather to do 3 more passes easily.

I have these two scents ordered. Thanks for the positive opinion, Johnny.

I'm bad at describing scents but to me the scottish had almost a sour tobacco scent with whisky and old leather undertones. The scent's I think are more "adult" scents. I think someone who ordered the dark limes expecting the usual citrus scent would be in for a big shock.

I like the Dark Limes, kind of like a sweet lime scent. Not in your face lime. Very pleasant.

The lime scent is dried limes. Visit your favourite Middle Eastern restaurant for most.

The strong and Scottish scent is peat. Pure, unadulterated peat. Lots of it.

I spent plenty of time doing Geology Courses walking through peat bogs and they didn't have that scent. of course it wasn't in Scotland just Illinois and Wisconsin.

My first thoughts were: strongly peated Whisky. I like my Whisky to smell like this, but not my bathroom
I prefer the Lavender, Dark Limes and Salty Sea Sage variations.

i have used with satisfaction lavander deluxe (very good scent)
The performace is great...very good product.
I was disappointed when I have sniffed black beer....too citrusy. I imagined something dark beer, with light smell of coffee or malt with bitter hop...like guinness or other dark beer like scotch ale...but nothing.

Please be advised that "Black Beer" is a purely citric scent with a hint of hops. It does not smell like Schwarzbier at all. But nice, and not too intrusive.

There is a saying in German which roughly translates into "reading educates". Same for Strong and Scottish, by the way.
