Zuska came to me from Tamil Nadu in a shipment of other creams.Unfortunately,the shipping box got contaminated with camphor odor,a common household purifier in India.The fist tube I tried ,"Smart Shave" ,showed no contamination of its scent,but the Zuska did absorb some,probaly due to the cap not being torqued down tight.So my best description of the scent is an "Old Spice Musk" India cream scent.The lather ,on the other hand,was absolutely superb !...Fabulous protection,rich ,thick full bodied snow white lather,I could just barely feel the virgin Perma-Sharp on my face.After rinsing my skin felt great,supple,and the camphor odor was 100% gone ...If you ever run into this one,grab it !...
