I always wonder just how great this one must smell

For me it smells better than Trumper, Taylor, Harris, or Rose of Bulgaria, which are the other creams I have used. I was a little surprised and quite pleased at how well it lathers.

Thanks John. I needed another cream!

This is a polarizing soap for my family. Some like it and some hate it. I really love the 7/10 scent. Esbjerg Orange/Vetiver comes out of Austria and used to see a lot of play on the forums. It's been a long time since I've heard anyone talk about it. The scent in the tub is orange forward with a funky, earthy vetiver lurking in the background. Well, not really in the background. It's like if orange was a wee girl that was being held hostage by a mobster vetiver and vetiver was hiding behind the girl. So background, yes, but nobody is going to miss the dankness of the vetiver. Upon lathering all hell breaks loose and although I still smell the orange, vetiver comes screaming to the fore. If you have bumped noses with Salters French Vetiver and its dirty, smoky, dankness, well this is not that but it could be its cousin. 7/10 in the tub and it actually goes to 8.5/10 when lathered. This is a cream but a very stiff one with a sort of whipped butter texture. You could load this one in the tub but I generally take a snerdle and smear it on my face to get the lather going. Unlike other creams, this one takes some working to get the lather building. At first it'll be like lotion but as you add droplets of water it will turn a corner and presto. That's just fine that I have to work it though because I love that vetiver scent. Lather is lower structure and not thirsty. Protection is certainly adequate. The scent post shave lingers all day long but only I will smell it and only occasionally. I don't wear a scent post-Esbjerg because I enjoy the whiff of vetiver I get throughout the day. I've got about 2 oz left of this 5.2 oz tub and it will be replaced when it's gone. (I'm a slave to vetiver)

Ok Lippripper-great post. I am a huge fan of the Esberg cream. I haven't tried the orange vetiver. I am also a huge fan of vetiver - but like the sweet citrus green variety/family

I love the Esberg Verbena! . And like you, got to work a fair bit for that creamy dense lather. I work it up from the tub. I want to get the grapefruit for the summer.

But my favorite product from this company is their post shave gel. Really good stuff.

Reminder to buy me some soon

Pacific Shaving Stick Shave Soap

Mystic Water - Leather & Smoke

Final use of a fantastic soap. To me, the scent is a little more sweet than smoke and I have thoroughly enjoyed it the past couple years.
