I sometimes take it in my travel kit due to its compact size and inoffensive scent. It does have a narrower zone of water to lather, but if you're aware then it works out ok. Overall it's got a thumbs up from me.
The scent may not be for everyone (it's certainly not your regular "masculine" scent). I do like the traditional 'violets' scent (very floral!) which I know you don't, so I'm guessing our scent choices may not overlap sometimes. [emoji6]
It smells good to me! Here is
their scent profile (on an Aussie site).
To my nose? Woodiness but not overpowering; slight earthiness/greenery. Very pleasant. It reminds me of L'Occitane fragrances for some reason (but no pepper, spice or florals!).
It's got a good strength to it; without being overpowering.
Like the other SV soaps- it's just made for wet shaving- especially with a straight. Excellent. I really love triple milled soaps and better yet when made by an artisan!
I really like the Alt Innsbruck. It smells to me like a "classic" scent - strong and clean. Floral but not sweet or flowery. It smells dry and slight woodyness. It's a Tabacco scent but not smokey. Not as green or sweet as SH Green Tabacco. If I close my eyes I can picture James Bond in the gentlemen's smoking room with fireplace and stuff drinks. It's that kind of classic masculine scent that's hard to pin down.
I don't like the old style of having no reducer! It's definitely going to be a dab-dab action rather than a splash-slap action...
