Performs just like any other GFT creams, superb lather quality, slickness, protection and post-shave. Scent wise, to my nose, it smells like Cussons Imperial Leather bath soap, straight from the tub. Upon lathering up, it smells like TOBS Sandalwood + Imperial Leather. Scents that linger on after shaving are Imperial Leather + Penhaligon's English Fern + baby powder.
