Quote:I believe it's the oils used, which are scentless. More for the beneficial skin properties? — mrdougThat makes perfect sense, where I was hung up on the scents. (Actually had an ideally-ripe mango for dessert at lunch. That creamy, luscious, sweetish aroma could be a fun shaving scent . . . maybe with bergamot and lime brightening the top, a complementary floral [say, neroli], and guaiac wood, labdanum, and patchouli in the base.)

Another widespread misunderstanding is about menthol: even if listed on its INCI, the soap has zero cooling effect nor a minty scent profile.

A tropical exotic paradise without any of its cliché.
