Thread: Green tea scent shaving soap...

I love green tea, but those of you who drink it know that it has a very, very, very mild scent. I've known women who wore elizabeth Arden Green tea scents, which smell nice, but very feminine and not at all like green tea (to my nose). Does any one know of a shaving soap they've personally used that has a green tea scent that is actually that of green tea?

not yet, but i was actually thinking about making some green tea shaving soap with some really really strong brewed green tea. i have made homemade soap in the past with jasmine tea "which smells better than green" and chamomile but it just doesn't really come out smelling the same. il definitely post up some info/pics when i attempt to make it.

I'm definitely interested in hearing how that goes.

Hi IanS, I use Provence Sante's green tea shaving cream. Perceptions vary but I think it smells like green tea. Of course, the green tea smell is in addition to other notes which you may or may not like. I think the scent is great, even better than say the D.R. Harris Arlington which is also very good.

Here is a review Provence Sante Green Tea Shaving Cream - Badger & Blade

I've only tried the shaving cream version but West Coast Shaving and Shaving Essentials also carry the shaving soap version.
