5.0 out of 5 starsHeaven in a Bottle
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019
Oh my Lord, this stuff smells divine. I'm a 35 year old guy, and after one showering I texted my younger brother and told him he had to come over and smell the stuff. It lasts a good long while also. The scent was noticeable for 4-5 hours after use. I could still smell it on me at the very end of the day as well if I brought my nose right up against my forearm, so it's a winner in this department for me.
As far as negatives go...it's definitely pricey. At 10 ounces for roughly 12 bucks you're definitely paying a premium. And if you don't believe it hearing the price, you will when you see the size of the bottle in your hands. Also, it doesn't lather terribly well. I tried putting it on an exfoliating bath sponge/pad and that was a bust; it just ate the precious gold liquid. So I just applied it directly to a washcloth so I could agitate it around and get a lather going. That has worked great so far because, as I mentioned, even with minimal lather the stuff still clings to you. Lastly, the product is marketed as an all-in-one for guys. It does a respectable job as a shampoo and great as a body wash, but doesn't seem like it has hardly any conditioning effect to it. Perhaps it wasn't meant to. You could pair a dedicated conditioner with it of course, but then you risk removing the sweet, sweet manna you just rubbed into your hair. Your call, I've just been dealing without.
Despite the negatives I mentioned, I still give this 5 stars. They are inconveniences to be sure, but very minor in my opinion when weighed against how great it works and smells. I'll definitely continue buying this as long as they offer it, although I might have to sell a kidney along the way.
