    Default A good smelling cream or soap that lasts?

    I am really enjoying using Mr Taylor's cream and love the smell but I find the aroma does not last on my skin. I am curious if anyone uses a cream or soap that has a smell they really like AND finds the smell lasts? I know I could just get the AS or cologne but I thought I would asks all you. I tend to like a wide range of smells but have limited experience.

    IMO, no shave soap or cream lasts at all, the scent it mostly gone as soon as you rinse off.

    +1, they are not really meant to last beyond the shave.

    I have just started using Cella and I really like the smell. Are you asking if the smell remains on your face after the shave, or are you asking if the smell lasts within the rest of the unused soap?

    Well Musgo Real doesn't work for me but some say the scent is very lingering, although IMO the scent isn't that great but if you look around on here, you'll find some huge fans of the scent and the IMO, inadadquate to say the least, lather, just some food for thought, wouldn't endorse something I don't like personally.

    Only the bathroom maintains the smell of my soaps and creams after I'm done shaving.

    TOBS Rose stayed on my wifes legs a while after she shaved them with it though. She came out in the garage and the scent followed.

    I'd agree with all the posts that indicate not.

    Your best bet would be to pair up products in the same line, like Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar cream, followed by the matching balm and then a squirt of the edt.

    Even the scent of Tabac soap doesn't really last beyond the shave and rinse - but a splash of Tabac AS afterwards, and it can be with you for 24 hours!

    Yeah, either an AS or a good cologne for anything lasting.
