I think the Dark Limes is safe to buy. The scent is
dried lime:
"They taste sour and citrusy like a lime but they also taste earthy and somewhat smoky and lack the sweetness of fresh limes.". And I don't think you can go wrong with the Mint Ice Menthol, either. Every other scent should be sampled first,
especially those that look familiar (like lavender, which has a strong floral note, and Strong & Scottish, which smells like 30yr Laphroaig).
[Edit] There is a very nice and comprehensive review focusing on scents
over at The Original Safety Too.
But scents are also a cultural phenomenon, I think. Almost any "artisan" soap to come out of the US nearly made me gag because they are sickeningly sweet. I am sure these scents are likeable if you are used to that level of sweetness, but over here, only the tartiest of cosmetics have that level of sweetness.
Performance is impeccable, and aftershave skin care is phenomenal. But other soaps perform equally well, and cost less. The much underestimated Savonnerie du bon Berger being a prime example. With Meißner Tremonia, you pay for highest quality, organic ingredients, actual craftsmanship, and beautiful but heavy packaging. Not everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure, but I have been using these products for months now, phasing out other popular (and pricey) products in the process.
PS The company is called Mei
ßner Tremonia, by the way. The ß is a voiceless s (
and actually an sz ligature in old German script).
