Why is my description wrong?Have you smelled acca kappa?I don't know if you have smelled it but i have and my description is what i smelled.White-MUSK and a little MOSS!!!
Check fragrantica if you don't believe me.Everyeone smells the muskiness in the acca kappa line but i am wrong?Come on...
If you have it check it again,i won't try to convince you.
That's why I said probably mate, based on so many reviews I've read and the fact that I have both the Nuavias. The problem is not if I've smelled a soap that I didn't recommend to anyone, the problem is that you're trying to push a product, presenting it as one of the best, though admittedly it is not that good. Faena's vegan edition does not perform that good. Even the maker will admit it and this is the main reason that he offers two more upgraded soap editions, with the tallow to be the best of the three. The lanolin edition is a little better than the vegan. Enough with the reviews that try to push products and vendors. They're dozens soaps out there that perform better and this is the opinion of everyone I've asked, including all my friends that have tried them. There is no need to convince me, you lost that privilige when you presented it as a better performing product than one of the best products available, like SdV, and this is not YMMV, believe me.
Back to the topic, a very good Musk scented soap is the Pannacrema Ebano. There was a time it was my first choice for the shave. Great performance and the scent is magnificent. Unfortunately, it is now discontinued, but I'm sure there are vendors that have it in stock.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I wanted only a tallow-based soap, and I was able to get a custom Egyptian Musk one from Erik at Dapper Dragon. It smells good - somewhat lighter and sweeter than I had expected - and I am going to use it for a first shave about a week from now. I'll comment on it in the "What soap or cream..." thread.
