After using the Mr Taylor Shaving Cream and Mr Taylor Aftershave Gel, I was expecting a much more similar experience with the scent of this product.I was a little surprised when I opened the bottle, and even went online to double-check the labeling. To me at least, the scent is much stronger than either the cream or the gel. I don't know that it is a "different" scent, but it is definitely a "stronger" scent. Maybe it is just more concentrated, On its own, and not comparing it with the cream or gel, it isn't a bad scent. And after a few applications, I have decided to keep it. It does have a very deep cedarwood scent that is growing on me. But I will not be buying it again just to compliment the shaving cream.
