I balked on buying A&E Pampelmousse when it came out as I thought "Grapefuit? Yuck!". Well, I was wrong. Just simply a beautiful green citrus shave soap!! This sample is surely Kaizen base as it's soft, but it's slicker than snot on a brass doorknob!!
A different beast to TOBS Grapefruit. It's got more of a bitter 'tang' to it - I wouldn't call it perfumey either.The scent notes from A&E say this; "Pamplemousse Shaving Soap is superbly complex with notes which are green, fresh, earthy, citrusy and herbaceous. Pamplemousse has a magnificent grapefruit note, combined with crushed rose stems and petals. Sharp, fresh and green. It settles on a meek little woodsy-rosy base. This is not a rose forward scent, rather a very complex green, citrus and herbaceous scent with a hint of rose and wood."
Would you mind saying whether there's any detectable rose in there and how it compares to TOBS Grapefruit, if you have tried it? I really like grapefruit but if there's any perfumery or rose in the scent, it's really not for me.
Many thanks,
David

Unlike TOBS, it will try to melt your face off.

I'm enjoying it way more than I expected. I was thinking I'd be wandering around in a cloud of Henry Cooper, but it isn't as full on as i expected, dies down quite nicely. Skin feels good too, for £2.99 a bargain. I can see me always having a bottle aboutHow are you enjoying that Brut?
