Hi Jani --
I'm sorry to report this but you're too late. I hadn't had any responses so I listed this on another forum and it sold within a few hours.
It's great stuff (my wife's response notwithstanding. 
) I encourage you to buy a tub & see for yourself!
Apologies again. Good luck!
Evan

: I just bought this cream from
: Luckyscent.com.
: I've shaved with it exactly once.
:
: It's an extremely well-made shaving cream.
: Rich, thick, cushiony, lubricating ... all
: the adjectives you want to hear. My
: problem, or to be more exact, my WIFE'S
: problem, is the scent. She hates it.
:
: No, wait ... "hate" is too mild.
: She had a violent reaction to this stuff.
: To give you some idea of what happened, I
: was shaving in a bathroom close to but
: outside of our bedroom. Both the bathroom
: door and the bedroom door were closed; she
: was in bed sleeping (or so I thought).
:
: Apparently, she could smell this cream IN
: BED, WITH THE COVERS OVER HER HEAD AND HER
: FACE IN THE PILLOW. (My lovely &
: talented wife does in fact have an extremely
: sensitive schnoz.) The only sc scent of
: mine that she somewhat approves of is rose;
: she hates everything else but tolerates my
: sandalwood, lavender, etc. creams. But this
: stuff? Forget about it: "You can't EVER
: shave with that stuff again! It is VILE! You
: need to GET IT OUT OF HERE!"
:
: No, I'm not exaggerating.
:
: The kicker is, I think it smells really
: good! It's the SC version of the cologne of
: the same name. Here are the notes from
: Luckyscent:
:
: With their signature fragrance, Domenico
: Caraceni show us how the phrase 'impeccably
: tailored' can be applied to perfume. The
: composition, which makes us think of the
: classic chypres, is as discreetly elegant as
: it is full of character. Far it be from us
: to imply that Caraceni’s eponymous scent is
: all about tradition. The classically
: structured composition has a distinctly
: modern, even edgy feel, largely because of
: the presence of frankincense. The note,
: apparent from start to finish, combines
: beautifully with the citrus top notes,
: creating an effect that is husky-sweet,
: almost smoky. In the heart of the fragrance,
: it enriches geranium, rose and tobacco,
: adding an earthy, spicy undertone to the
: sultry mix. The piquancy is further
: emphasized by the cypress note, with its
: gloriously mentholated, almost pine-like
: aroma. The base notes of Domenico Caraceni
: are the mossy-ambery delight and will make
: chypre-lovers very happy indeed. Although
: originally meant for men, Domenico Caraceni
: would be as wonderful on a woman as – you
: guessed it! - an impeccably tailored suit.
:
: Domenico Caraceni 1913 notes
: Petit grain, styrax, geranium bourbon,
: neroli bigarade, rose, tobacco, cypress,
: frankincense.
:
: Anyway. In the interests of domestic er,
: bliss, I need to sell this tub asap. I
: paid $50 + shipping for it which is a lot,
: I'll admit. But. The tub is 8.5 oz! It's
: HUGE -- and you only need a little cream at
: a time -- it's an outstanding latherer.
: This 1 tub should last a LONG time.
:
: Therefore, I'd like to get $45 for the tub.
: Shipping will be extra but whatever it costs
: me I'll just pass thru to you. Depending on
: where you live, I'll get back to you with a
: shipping cost.
:
: Thanks very much!
