Brotherhood of Unscented Gentlemen Shavers

According to their website, the ingredients contains parfum and olive leaf extract (a fragrance).
Yes, I read that before I ordered it. I also wrote and asked about it. The owner answered me that it was a mistake (about the parfume at least) and that Unmasked is fragrance free.
Maybe it is the olive leaf I can smell. I do not know the smell.

I have really been enjoying The CaYuen Workshop - Au Naturale shaving soap. It lathers well and has a nice cushion to it. Smelling the full tub, it has less of a scent than Sudsy Soapery Unscented Tallow shaving soap (also in the tub). It leaves no scent behind that I notice.
 
How do you find The Recipe compared to say Zingari Man or PAA Scentsless? The ad copy on the website had my Buy It Now muscle twitching!
I think we've really been spoiled in terms of soap bases over the past couple of years, so many great options available. If I had to rank K2E among my favourite bases, it would look something like this:

  1. HAGS Osiris (no unscented option unfortunately)
  2. Lothur V2 (looks like the brand no longer exists)
  3. B&M Omnibus (no unscented option - still have to try their unscented Veggiebus soap)
  4. Westman Nirvana
  5. A&E K2E
  6. Zingari Sego
  7. PAA CK-6
Tried many other bases but the above options are the ones that stand out to me. In terms of characteristics of the lather, I think K2E is closest to B&M Omnibus with a slightly more neutral/less-conditioned post-shave feel.

Really want to try B&M's unscented offering in Veggiebus and MacDuff's Aspen Parkland, I would probably enjoy these a lot. Unfortunately they are not available in Europe and ordering from across the big pond makes it rather expensive..
