Gentlemen,
I'm almost finished with my Trumper's sample pack (the creams, anyway) and am considering buying one of their product in either Limes or Rose scent.
However, I'm not sure if I will go with a soap or cream, so I was wondering if the scents are the same in either form.
I've only used both of the limes, but the soap smells more like a clean soap to me; the cream is more lime-like. It's not as strong as CF, but has a really nice quality all its own. Both as I recall produce really nice lather, but I prefer the cream--I love that scent actually!
I have the cream and soap as well.
To me, they have the same scent...the cream is just more potent.
I get great results with both products.
I really enjoy the Eucris soap too.

Life is short, consider buying both and have fun with both of them. I enjoy having a variety of soaps and creams and use them all.

Life is short and I can only shave once a day. I won't have time to try everything, so I don't see the point in having the same fragrance twice. Hence my question.Quote:

Either way, Trumper's rose is a delight. Although I love soaps, if I were to choose, in this case I would opt for the cream.

Odd timing, I just got my shipment of Trumpers travel size creams last night. I've only tried out the Coconut Oil one (so good), but i smelled all the others and they were all just as nice.
today I tried the Violet. I must say Lathers easily.
The smell is really good!
Now the rest of the sample pack to try.
Pfff.... why my beard grows so slowly;), I want to shave more often.
As our friend Obie said, it's very common that creams will have a more intense scent than soaps, even with the same fragrance. So much that I'd even say it's the rule more than the exception. Therefore it comes down to personal preference; do you like the lather from a cream or a soap?
I love both of the Lather whether from soap or cream.
But I'm actually a soap guy, but lately I'm trying the cream, I bought samples and must say there are creams that are very good.
The smell as the Lather of these creams that are quite ok.(There's one in there that I would buy .....so far)
So far I have tried this:
Castle Forbes Lime <smells great and very great Lather. really explodes in your bowl.
Really what i expect from a cream.
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet <bit disappointing, especially because this is one of the more expensive creams. I had expected more of this cream, but give him another chance. Maybe more water or so.
Trumper violet <Super violet smell that is very close to the scent of the real flower comes.
Lather not explode as the Castle Forbes, but eventually he also gets a big 7
E-shave lime vebena< Great lime smell and makes nice Lather
Saint Charles< Lather no good. Much water or little water, very disappointing to me this is not working for me.
I must still try my Castle Forbes Lavender sample and the rest of the Trumperts sample package.(5to go)
I have accumulated quite a bunch of soaps since I begun shaving with straights: Proraso green, MWF, Tabac, Williams, DRH Arlington on its way. On the other hand, I'm only on samples regarding creams, so I think I'll opt for a cream.
Maybe it won't be Trumper's, though, since I have yet to try all the samples I received from T&H, and then the Edwin Jagger I should receive with my DRH package. I also want to try Castle Forbes, but maybe I'll get the Limes one without sampling it (even if I know I shouldn't). There's a lot of competition taking place.
Any additional input is always welcome.
I feel exactly the same way. So much products to try. I shave everyday, nowadays, and I'm considering implementing an 18-20 hours recurrence. I could get a little more shaves this way, but it would be a little complicated. Logistically.Quote:

Hello, nycexit2:
I don't believe Trumper offers free samples anymore. They do charge. Go directly to the company.
