Not my favorite scent, but it does seem to be the one I reach for most often when I'm just randomly sniffing soaps in my bathroom....don't judge...
Cella

Cella smells like Dr. Pepper to me, some say it smells like Cherries...
I love it's scent, and the performance of the product.

+1 on the 1 K brick. Dr. Pepper or mild cherry smell. The red tub smells like almonds.
Awesome product.
SWMBO hates it...it reminds me of eating almond petit fours (small square cakes covered with marzipan) as a kid...so needless to say I keep it.
Count me in the 'I love it' camp!
I think Cella is pretty mild. In fact, I wish it were stronger smelling
I find Cella to be a very mild scent , I use it almost all the time.. It leaves my face feeling better afterwards than any other soap I used , I am guessing because there are not many , if any preservatives in it.. It is reasonably priced and lathers up a storm..
Cella's scent, as discussed in another thread, takes on a playdough smell as it ages; I find that Vitos Red has a different type of playdough scent from the start. But, to me, Cella's aged scent changes when lathered. I don't particularly like aged Cella's pre-lathered scent but I love its lathered scent, as well as its performance.

Good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like the cella smell. I'll have to try the razorock, I really do like the performance of cella
I've heard it smells like amaretto - and I'm for that! Does anyone sell Cella samples? I'd like to give it a shot without committing to a whole tub or block.
It's worth mentioning there are two different cella's, with two different smells. the red tub has the almond-like smell, and the 1 KG brick has the "cherry" smell everyone talks about.
I prefer the scent and performance of the brick.

Am I the only person who finds the scent of Cella to be similar to the smell of hand soap in a lot of public restrooms? Don't get me wrong, I like the scent just fine and the soap is pretty darn good, but there are similarities between them.
I don't have Cella but I love TOBS Almond. Can anyone compare these two against each other for me? I realize ones a cream and Cella is more of soap/croap? But scent wise.

I find Cella's almond scent to be very light, and pleasant. It doesn't last at all after the shave, so that's good too. Performance is 1st rate.
Smells good to me. It is not strong to be offensive/disturbing.
I had the same reaction the first time I opened the tub. I was disappointed, because I had heard great things, but the scent almost made me ill. It completely changed when I lathered it up though. It became very mild and clean smelling. It almost reminds me of hotel soap.
I have both Cella and TOBS Almond and enjoy both of them. The TOBS Almond has a much brighter, stronger almond scent. If you like TOBS Almond, I think you'd also like Cella. Reading the posts here from people who don't like Cella, I have to think they probably just don't like almond scented soaps or creams of any make, not just Cella. I bought a kilo brick of Cella and have no regrets. FWIW, I haven't seen any posts knocking Cella's performance, only its scent. Even some who don't seem to particularly like the scent have said it is a great performing soap. So if you like almond scent, you'll probably like Cella. Cheers!
really like to try this stuff wish someone sold samples of this stuff
Just get it! I'm sure someone would take it off the B/S/T if you don't enjoy it.
Garry's Sample Shop has samples of Cella from the brick.
