After Shave: Moon Soaps Amaretto Speciale Aftershave Splash

Hello Spectre,
This aftershave intrigues me. If you would be so kind and have an opinion, would this be a good match for the classic Cella shave soap? Also, if you know, does it have glycerine in it and/or is sticky?

Thanks in advance for your response.

After Shave: Moon Soaps Amaretto Speciale Aftershave Splash

Hello Spectre,
This aftershave intrigues me.  If you would be so kind and have an opinion, would this be a good match for the classic Cella shave soap?  Also, if you know, does it have glycerine in it and/or is sticky? 

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hello Tedolph 
Sure thing:

I try my best:

Shame on me, but I don't know the Cella. The Amaretto, as the name suggests, has a strong scent of amaretto, roasted almonds, the roasted comes on quite strong at first application and then subsides. Sweet... marzipan-like and creamy, the fragrance continues.

The splash is a classic after shave and not sticky.

The ingredients:
Alcohol Denat, Aqua (Water), Aloe (Vera) Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Water, Polysorbate 20, Parfum (Fragrance), Hydroxyethyl Urea (Hydrovance), (Vegetable) Glycerin, Squalane Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract, Benzyl Benzoate, Coumarin, Cinnamal, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Eugenol

So yes. Glycerin is included.

Thank you Spectre . Cella is a very old recipe, Italian soft soap having a marzipan fragrance. If you are familiar, it smells like Dr. Pepper tastes. It is one of the last of the mass market tallow based soaps still available. This aftershave sounds like a perfect match. Alas, it has glycerine in the formula and I am afraid that it will be sticky. However, based on your attestation that it is not sticky, I am willing to give it a try.
