Haha I only realised after posting how old that comment was!! Oh wellI've tried their sandalwood again since posting that and strangely it had no affect this time? Maybe my face is more accustomed to perfumed soaps/creams sitting on it after 2 years of shaving.
I mixed a couple of soaps with a rose perfume oil (al rehab) and it's the most amazing scent. they have a good number of rose varieties to try so I'm sure there will be something that suits you. they're not expensive either so you won't break the bank searching. check them out on fragrantica
It's a solid performer with a light, but natural scent. Certainly a bargain at the priceLate to the party James old chap! How about "Rose of Bulgaria" shaving cream? You can get the matching splash too for under a tenner. I have used the cream but being honest (it was years ago) I can't remember how it was.

Bulgarian Rose (Damaskeene) is one of the classic rose scents, Himalayan (Musk Rose) being another, Taifi (Arabian) being the queen ... queen, yes, as it's quite feminine. English Rose is more green stem.
Thanks for that
Crazily enough I did buy some a while back but shifted it before even trying it, dont know why... It just didn't interest me enough to even try itAt any rate, I'll have completed my tour of English rose... I'm still yet to try Bulgarian, LPL and Eufros ... I have tried MdC rose but didn't find it to be anything spectacular, quite a while ago now but I recall it being very powdery - Or was that Klar Kabinett?
I was reading an old thread last night where pjgh explains the different rose scents:
Which is very interesting as the only green stem rose I've tried so far has been the T&H.
Pleasure James..I can definitely recommend the Rose of Bulgaria aftershave splash (if you use them) Not a true rose, it is mixed with other scents which make it a bit more masculine..but very nice.
I have tried LPL Rose de Pushkar and the scent is very nice and natural..but didn't get on with the performance..but LPL Tallow is outstanding.
What about Darron's English Rose soap? Or is it just creams you are looking for?
I am quite surprised by how well regarded Salter Rose shaving cream is. I've tried two Salter creams, can't remember the flavours, and was not at all impressed. My go-to Rose shaving cream is TOBS, but based on what I've read here I'm considering giving Salter Rose a try.
What you say is consistent with my experience with Salter creams. Perhaps I'll try Rose of Bulgaria instead; it's cheap as chips even with postage.I'd stick to TOBS if I were youSalters rose is strong on the geranium, which is fine if that's what you're after. I find the Salters performance good once lathered but its quite thin and sloppy in the container... And yes, their scents are generally quite awful, sandalwood which smells of cinnamon? French vetiver which smells nothing like vetiver (I'm informed its probably the lowest grade Indonesian vetiver.)
