I had a mildly disappointing experience with this.
I was in a shop looking at the different shave products they had, knowing that I was going to drop some coin on my first "real" (read non-pharmacy acquired) shave soap. I had spare money to blow and wanted something nice.
All of the Truffits and Trumpers were behind the counter so I asked the associate to let me smell some of the Trumper's almond. It was just what I was looking for, bright, almondy, kind of reminiscent of marzipan. At this point I asked him to pack me up a puck of the soap and rung up the rest of my order, along with some Col. Conk's lime.
I didn't realize that there was such a different between the smell of the cream and the soap. Turns out that the soap is a much... soapier, floral smell, I slightly expected it, but I can barely smell the almond at all. Disappointing as far as the smell goes, but the feel and lather of the quality soap made up for it.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? Or did I get a fluke packaging error?
