Roflmao..... “Nuavia does come with a nice bowl tho”
hahaha, good stuff T28!

I do like that bowl quite a bit. As SV only comes with an optional bowl, I now stuff all my SV soaps into
the Nuavia bowl.

So...best of both worlds.

Haven't tried a SV I like yet. It performs well even if it's not in the same league is Nuavia but I find all the scents off putting. That being said I don't like any of the Nuavia scents either.

Have you tried Beta 4.3...thats the formula that really shines.
I hear you on scents but Im not super picky with that...as long as it doesnt
smell strong or vile Im okay. One of my favourite scents in a soap is B&M Reserve Cool.
But Ive has all sorts of problems lathering it up. Cant have it all I suppose.

I have tried it and as much as the formula is great, the scents are way too distracting to me. I think I'm just very sensitive to smells. The only scented soaps I really enjoy are SMN and I ColonialiWink

Totally agree.
All the SV scents I've owned have smelled very cheap.
I've only had samples of (all) the Nuavia soaps, and only the Blu was something I'd even consider buying (but haven't and probably won't).

+1, the Blu and Rossa are lovely, complex scents.

Agreed. The Rosso and Blu are among the best soap scents out there. (I also have Verde, which I find less interesting.) I have an SV Cosmos tub, which is nice but less interesting and harder to lather.

I've used Blu and two Beta 4.3 scents, Felce Aromatica and Opuntia.  For me, all three shine performance-wise, and I would need to A/B them to tease out the differences.  I'm not super scent picky either, but as it happens, I love all three scents too.  If it matters to you - and this might be nitpicking - the SVs are hard (blooming is recommended), and the Blu is notably softer.  Also, the SVs travel well, but I would not travel with Nuavia.

Nuavia Rossa smells similar to Amouage Epic Man. I really like the warm scent on Rossa and have been eyeing Blu for sometime.

I found Cubebe's performance at par with Rossa both in terms of quality of lather and post shave.
