Beautiful scent off the soap...I get mostly bitter blood orange scent and I do love it. I live close to Sicily and eating the blood oranges from there is a very nice treat. They taste markedly different due to the bitterness but the sweetness is very intense. As with all GD soaps, superb performance and CL's F&P pairs perfectly with it. A lovely shave, this morning.
