Super strong
Just the way I like it! Super slick soap! Nice post shave. Very unique scent! Hard to explain.

Scent is not what i expected
The soap lather is exactly what you want in a shavings soaps. Thick and creamy. Excellent consistency. The scent is not what i expected. The description intrigued me and i gave it a shot. When I first smelled it the scent was striking. After i used it it had a smell i could not place. My wife thought it smelled like a pungent cilantro. Not something I want to smell like all day. I will purchase products from Barrister and Mann again because they are top tier. I will just be more selective in the scents i choose.

Not my favorite
Quality is amazing as always, but the scent is not for me.

The four horsemen war
Wow! This has to be the most horrible scent I have ever tried in a soap. It literally gave me gag reflexes and went straight to the trash. I’ve been a B&M fan for many years but this one is a huge mistake.

Huge miss!
Easily the worst of the 4 horseman set in terms of scent and one of the worst scents i have ever used in 4 years of wetshaving (the omnibus base is great as always). I know the thematic element of war makes this a difficult one to try and stick to, but the end result was just a miss. Was like a strong mix of ozone, metal, rust and a skunk! Also as others have mentioned the scent lingers a long long time. Thank goodness i used a synthetic brush with this one as took some very hot water and dish soap to finally remove the smell.
