Typically I do not make rush decisions on soaps, especially expensive ones but on Pannacreama Nuavia Blu/Rossa I got them as gifts. If there were ever other luxury soaps on my radar, it would be Acua di Parma, Martin de Candre and Xpec. The first two for me, sound like winners, but I've always avoided Xpec because of the amount of mixed reviews on scent. It just seems like AdP and MdC do not have that kind of hate for them that Xpec gets.I don't know... I don't love the scent of xPec but I also don't hate it.
To Claus' point, I think the woody notes of the Thyme [very pronounced to my nose] and Cedarwood/Oakmoss, which are prevalent, throw off many looking for a cologne type scent.
