I have some Fine AB soap due to arrive Monday. I'm a big fan of Tabac (really, its performance is beyond reproach), and though I'm lukewarm on the AB/Rive Gauche Pour Homme scent, I'm hoping it does indeed come close to Tabac's performance, as it'll be nice to have a different scent of hard soap in this category. I also suspect I'll like the scent better as a shaving product than as a personal fragrance to carry me into the day.

Acqua di Parma, Martin de Candre Czech & Speake and Boellis all work absolutely great for me. I just got a tub recently of the new Boellis Condotti cream and while the performance is really good, the scent and staying power of the scent is just amazing. My only issue is while I consider it a luxury soap looking at the formula makes me think Tcheon Fung Sing makes the base for them and they add the fragrance.

I don't know anything about the Condotti cream. May I ask where you got it?

A few months ago they came out with Condotti, Spiga and Chiaia 9 creams. I would say the consistency is a touch thicker then RazoRocks SMdF but a little softer then a traditional Italian soap. Getting some can be a bit of a pain. I only found one site that had it for sale and they won't ship to the States. Luckily i happened to know someone who knows someone that is stationed in Italy. I can't think of the site right now but when i remember I will send you a message. I am hoping some other retailers start stocking it because I would really like to try the other scents. if you would like i would be more then happy to send a sample.

No sample needed, but thank you for the offer. Smile Sounds like interesting stuff!

Have you ever smelled any of those three frags? From what I see they only came out in 2014. If the soap is any indication then I am guessing the cologne is pretty nice.

Thanks for reading the review gents! And thank you Barrister_N_Mann for the reveal of the tubs Smile.

I'm happy to see some more suggestions on this thread! If anyone has exceptionally performing soaps/creams to suggest (money no object), then by all means! Suggest away.

In case you are curious, this is the INCI for the three creams (croaps): Stearic Acid, Aqua, Cocus Nucifera Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, parfum, [fragrance allergens]

Will, the new labels look superb- I missed the sneak peak earlier and appreciate you reposting. Love the topo of the region and the silhouette of the animals is very cool too. Very well done!
