Cool. I think it's still one of the best modern interpretations of that classic barbershop scent. I sniff my lather and pick up notes of citrus layered over side notes of herbs and moss. Only thing that’s missing in this soap is the cool. I mean, there’s no chill. If you want a cool shave, you’ll need to supply your own menthol. Easy enough. But what about after the razor work is done? How can you prolong the scent? Well, you have all kinds of alternatives. Lots of folks have come up with a version of Floïd
Blue aftershave, but the best (in my humble and ever-wavering opinion) is Epsilon
Blue Mediterranean. It’s full of fragrance and cooling power, even if it’s a bit sticky at first.
