Thread: Come on Now, Who On Earth Likes These Scents?

They seem to be pretty similar.
The Cella doesn't please my nose either.
That smell is very traditional laundry soap like.
Yet that soap is pretty popular for its abilities and most of the customers have nothing to say against the scent.

Have Cella myself. Don't mind it at all. But its been awhile since I've used it as the creams have pushed their way into my life after I bought a scuttle - for some reason I can't use soap with the scuttle, so to validate my purchase I had to use creams .

Anyhoo I'm 28 and of the stuff that I've tried I don't like Arko, Palmolive or anything with orange in it. Soaps seem for the most part to fade fast enough so that I only really experience them while shaving, so I can pick something that doesn't quite fit the target audience of women I go for. At lectures I have only gotten comments on EDTs those auditoriums can be rather cramped at times.

I think I know what octopus means.. alot of these scents are an acquired smell. I remember when I first started buying shaving supplies, I couldn't stand most of the scents the vendors offered. I was so accustomed to axe and the like. But now I really like just about everything, even the ones I originally found to be nasty, girly, or "old-mannish." I'm still careful about my aftershaves so as not to offend those around me, but for shaving soaps, they don't last long, so I use whatever I like. Bay rum is one of the last ones that grew on me and it wasn't until I smelled the ogallala bay rums. Nice and spicy!

I agree!

I think the whole point, as with my personal opinion of patchouli, is that a scent can be "lovely" to one person, yet so awful to another that they can hardly imagine how anybody could stand it.

The only soap or cream I've actually liked the smell of is T&H 1805. The rest have just been exercises in toleration... but then again, I've prolly only smelled 10-20 of them, I never really got the whole soap/cream acquisition disorder thing. I guess Dragon Tears stands out as the one I found that was completely intolerable.

ok i got my soaps in from TGQ and they are great! i got the cavendish cream, the limemargarita soap, and a small unnamed puck, they all smell great, cant wait to see how they lather.
thanks for the recomendations guys

Very correct sir.

That is the reason there are so many scents

WE ALL DON"T LIKE THE SAME THING.... lol

haha That's pretty funny. I thought the dog ate your soap post was pretty good too but this one is pretty funny. I'd like to smell that kielbasa/cigar stand soap... can't be good at all... I just ordered a few samples from TGQ as well I can't wait to get them in! I've heard noting but good stuff about TGQ soaps.

Anyhow enjoy!
