Ketoret (Grooming Dept) incense & myrrh
Shave 2

Ketoret is the Hebrew word for incense. True to its name, this soap smells like frankincense and myrrh. But there’s more to it. It also gives up hints of sweet orange, leather, and peach, along with some piney green notes. I'm not smelling any lemon, though, and that's surprising, as that fresh note is common in real frankincense. Nevertheless, the scent is interesting, yet not overwhelming, and stays true to its original intentions.

The soap's base is as elaborate as its fragrance, with fifty ingredients listed on the label. Some ingredients, nearly a dozen syllables long, seem to have escaped from a lab, while others are naturally exotic. One ingredient I've never heard of is sacha inchi extract. According to Wikipedia, this oil comes from the nut of a tree native to the Amazon basin. It's rich in fats and is believed to attract and retain moisture in the skin. In addition to keeping the skin plump, sacha inchi also protects against sun damage, regulates oil production, and maintains elasticity.

Thank you lukester for this elusive, quiet discovery. Past me by on my journeys. Nice barbershop and the suede darkens it up perfectly. Really nice and of course we can go on and on about Joserra’s wonderful soap bases.

Great puck. They haven't made that again in awhile. I keep looking to get back ups

Gotta love Coates creams. Funny, I did the same thing and put it in my Boellis coffret bowl many years ago. One of the scents dominated the rest, I think the lime? Great shave.
