This was my first shave with Nuàvia Nera. Loved it. There are a lot of fragrance notes in this, but the top notes are described as "Fresh and Green". This really comes across. I purchased this soap and balm at a high discount. I think PannaCrema is going to stop making shaving soaps (or perhaps going out of business). This is a real shame. Their scents are great and their vegetal soap base is pretty luxurious.
Though the vegetal soap base is very nice, I think it is the scents that are worth trying and the balms certainly carry the scents better than the soaps do.
