I purchased this and the matching aftershave based on a previous purchase of Extro Cosmesi Due November 2/11 shave soap and aftershave (which is very good also) and for which I left reviews. Conte di Puglia has an even better, stronger scent, about 5.5-6/10. This soap has a darker gray-black color which is very unique and did not stain my brush.
The scent truly is hard to describe, as mentioned in the description, but it works very well and smells like a very sophisticated cologne that most will like. Extro soaps have several skin nourishing ingredients and the lather is thick and easy to form. Though this soap and matching aftershave are currently out of stock, I hope that Pasteur will restock and continue to carry Extro Cosmesi products as they're top notch Italian wet-shaving products. Pasteur Pharmacy is probably the only North American online seller that carries Extro aftershaves; so kudos to them also for stocking niche products.
