At a recent shave meet-up I picked up a tub of B&M the Four Horsemen War.  Touted as the scent of gunpowder and hot metal it ought to tell an interesting tale for sure and as a member of a quad of Apocalypse soaps one ought not expect it to smell marvelous but…….interesting  Often maligned I realized that you naysayers simply don’t possess sophisticated enough olfactory abilities to revel in such a one of a kind scent.  I, on the other hand, have a maturity and mastery far surpassing you plebeians and can better judge this most amazing soap.  The soap base is excellent but that’s no surprise.  The scent left me smelling like a high grade south of the border condiment……..cilantro, which as everyone should know by now smells just like a mix of gunpowder and hot metal.  Ah, the amazing and manly scent of a street taco!  Shaving excellence!  
Ha!  B&M has turned out some amusing scents over the years but this one? I took this one off the PIF table to keep some unsuspecting person for injuring themselves.  I can’t imagine war smelling anything but bad but I had no idea war smells like cilantro.  If you get the chance………..pass.

I’ve heard a number of times that War smells like cilantro. I do like the smell of cilantro on my food. To wear…probably not. Those that have tried all four soaps rank War as the worst. I only have Famine, and that one’s enjoyable enough. Sort of a spicy cologne-ish scent.

I really enjoyed reading your take on War, and got a nice chuckle. Thanks for that.

You're a saint and peacemaker, Lipripper. Thanks for freeing the world of this nasty puck. Can't imagine what possessed Will to undertake the four horsemen. I've heard so very little that was good about them.

Maybe the insatiable need to always give the community something new?
