This is my second shave with Moon Soaps. The first time around, I wasn't that impressed. This time I used the more-soap-more-water approach and it turned out really nice. The scent was kind of low during the shave but after (with aftershave), it has pleasantly followed me throughout the day.

The scent is low-to-mid strength, but has that smoky, balmy feel to me that might be the Havana seaside as the sun goes down. I bloom this soap before use. It brings out the fragrance more.
