Clay Face

Vulcano (Abbate y La Mantia) garam masala
Shave 3

Inviting scent, but lousy lather. I smell lots of nutmeg and cardamom with hints of pepper and mace. It’s spicy without smelling the least bit dirty. But even three grams of this cream-like soap wasn’t enough to make a stable lather with enough cushion for two passes. Its ample Shea butter gives a good finish, but it doesn’t take away the sting. Each of these Abbate y La Mantia soaps has its own formulation. Some work very well for me, while others require a special trick that I haven’t hit on yet.

Il profumo è invitante, con note forti di noce moscata e cardamomo, e accenni di pepe e macis. È speziato ma pulito. Tuttavia, la schiuma è scarsa. Anche con tre grammi, non produce una schiuma stabile con abbastanza cuscino per due passate. Il burro di karité offre una bella finitura, ma non elimina il pizzicore. Ogni sapone Abbate y La Mantia ha una formulazione diversa: alcuni funzionano bene per me, mentre altri richiedono un trucco speciale che non ho ancora capito.

Another LJDJ soap sample from Tommy. Really enjoy this one. The scent notes are - Semisweet wine, jasmin, ripe fruit, fresh aquatic. Bouki might be able to discern those notes - I certainly can't. Maybe a little bit of the aquatic vibe. Whatever I'm smellin', it's nice.
