I like it, if you like a sweet rose I think you will too.
I asked because I have that, received as a present: she knew I'm crazy about Rose scent.
But, this one, in not my poison: as you said it's either too sweet for me or something...

Alas cannot add any Lavender, as i did with the after shave whose bottle allowed the operation, and now, to my nose is more bearable.
I'm not into sweet aromas, that's it!

After Brexit and a return to British values, child labour might become a thing again.
Also across the channel, i think...


It is a great little brush from Italy though.
I've been told so, but never tried mixed knots.
Should you be willing to try an unknown brush (outside Italy), you might tnjoy performance (and shapes) of Zenith, shaving brush brand of Pennellificio Pandolfo (https://www.pennellificiopandolfo.com/pennelli-da-barba).
Site is in Italian only: I believe they do not sell much abroad.
