Oh well. --Previous Message-- : 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 : --Previous Message-- : I'll take it. What's the total including : airmail overseas shipping to Sweden? : : --Previous Message-- : 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! : : Evan : : : : :
