jesseix - I've found that the A&E St. Bart's and newly tried Aqua de Boracay have a moderate scent during lathering and then subtly hang around for several hours after the shave provided I don't put on another skincare product like moisturizer. So far, I've been pleased with the initial scent strength and post-shave longevity. I don't typically use any other scented products after I shave. I shave at night a few hours before bed. Before I go to sleep I'll apply non-scented Paula's PM Moisturizer.
I have samples of A&E Choco Cuban and The Undersea to try along with some Noble Otter Monoi de Taihiti and Noir et Vanille.
I ordered the samples from Maggard's along with three empty containers:
I also got a bit of Noble Otter Monarch - pleasant powdery scent, diminishes overnight
Noble Otter Firefighter - nice scent, but I'm not really a fan of the grapefruit so my wife is going to use it up
Wholly Kaw - King of Oud - was nice initially, but hung around longer than I'd prefer and convinced me I wasn't a fan of this formulation of oud "essence"
All in all, I'm enjoying trying various scents from these makers who already are well know for their exceptional soap bases.
After I work through more of these I intend to try more of Ethos' soaps - just picked up their Kailuha to try. The unscented sample I received from them has a noticeably creamier, more dense lather than the other soaps I have.
I will also get some Zingari as part of the next phase of sample trials...maybe in a several months
