Review (3/5): Stinky Performance
Bought this based on reviews/reputation as a travel soap (stick is easy to cary around when i travel, my Tabac puck stays in it's cup at home.) Performance-wise it's brilliant. Richer lather than Tabac and very smooth. The stick will last you a really long time. For the price it's a fantastic bargain.
My one complaint, and it's a very subjective one, is that I can't stand the scent. It has a very perfume-y odor. It almost makes my eyes water. I tried to get used to it. I couldn't. I know a lot of people actually like the scent, it's just not for me. I tend to like more natural, subtle scents. The Arko smells artificial and overpowering to me. I can smell it from 30 feet away when it's sitting out- that's how over-the-top I find this soap.
Like I said, this is subjective. If you can deal with the scent, it's a great product.
