What is the Cella fragrance? It is clearly not just almond. To me, it smells like almond 50%, cherries 30%, a mixed floral component 20%. It's deceptively complex.
What do Cella users think?

It's the smell of ......... victory!
No seriously I smell Almond and so does my wife, my daughter smells cherries. I guess it may very well be dependent upon the person who is smelling it.
Ah, Cella

Marzipan and maraschino cherries to my nose.

I get marzipan from P.160 (which is why I love it so much), not so much from Cella.

I am sure it is a great soap, but I have plenty of other great soaps (MdC, Tabac, MWF, Mystic Water, etc) that all smell good to me. So forcing myself to shave with something I don't like the smell of would be kinda silly. I did the same thing with a stick of Akro too Originally Posted by BallisticBurrito
