What does Cella smell like? I'm in the market for another cheap soap. It's what I love about wet shaving. I can try different stuff and really have very little money in it.

Almond paste...yummmmm.
I miss my grandmother's cookies.
They say almond but it is not a clear almond scent.
I have the P.160 and the Figaro cream and they both smell almond without any doubt.
Cella smells very different; for sure it is not a clear almond scent. This soap has a particular and original scent that cannot be found in any other soap (at least known to me).
It cannot tell that Cella has a nice scent. With time I got used to it and now I like it, but I remember the first time that I bought it I was saying that it smells like … petroleum.
It smells like marzipan to me. I love it.
I have the 1Kg block. The bulk of which is in the fridge, wrapped in cling film. It's only a matter of time before a visitor decides to try a bit of marzipan.
Gotta love Cella,and if you can find it,P160 is to die for:)

It sounds as if your Cella may have turned, or is starting to. Fresh Cella is bright white with a distinct almond scent. Very similar to P160, however that has a bit of a cherry scent mixed in that is absent in Cella. Funny thing is, even turned Cella performs well. Not as well as fresh, but still better than most other soaps!
I have been thinking this from the first day I bought it.
This is because my cella was not clear white as described but light brown with white spots.
Another thing is that I bought it from an old drugstore with very slow business going on, and I cannot say that I would be surprised if you told me that my cella was waiting for me there for over 5 or 6 years.
In order to prevent these type of soaps to turn yellow (basically, any tallow based soap will unavoidably get rancid and yellow) just keep in the refrigerator. This is what I do with my Cella, P.160, Vitos, Tabac and all the other tallow based soap. They will keep almost forever and will not lose their aromas as well.
