Lavender Noir Shaving Soap - Ultima 2

The term noir comes from the French for darker, can also be used for mysterious.

This is NOT your typical in your face "YOO-HOO It's Me Lavender over here". Now the term noir fits it to a T . It is somewhat subdued but it is still the star.
This soap is awesome. The toned down lavender and vanilla pop immediately followed by the bergamot, oud (which I am becoming a fan of) and coffee. It lathered quickly and extremely slick and thick. The cushion was like "BUTTA" and it had a great deal of residual slickness to go over some spots without a relather.

In my top 3 all time favorite A&E scents

Fantastic shave cream. It’s the best I have ever used!

Smells awesome. Every one has been unique in a very good way.

Not your usual lavender, definitely a darker scent which is not surprising given the name. I found it very appealing and it’s wife approved.

Being a fan of lavender scented shave soaps,I have to say this is the best one out there.

Not a fan of the scent. I probably will keep in the the drawer

Great fragrance and wonderful lather.

Very nice experience using this soap. No need to go into the quality of the soap base as it's something that Ariana and Evans excel at. I like this take on a lavender. It's not perfumey and overdone. It's a little darker as the title suggests and opens up a different direction of scent. A little darker a little more mysterious but just slightly so. The lavender is supported well here by the background notes. Bought it for my daughter and now we'll follow up with a purchase for me with the splash as well.

Just received my Lavendar Noir Shaving soap and used it. I was pleased by the very present but in no way overpowering scent. I used a small amount that lathered quickly and abundantly more than enough for a three pass shave. The lather was outstanding. The product left my face feeling smooth and nourished. I highly recommend A&E Lavendar Noir . You’ll love it

Love this scent. This is definitely my favorite lavender scented shave soap. For me it’s more complex and almost more like a lavender cologne scent. It makes a creamy rich lather that never disappoints.

Best shaving soap period. The lavender has a great scent

Her Side of the Story
I saw you reach for me.
Shaky hands. Cheap blade. That look in your eyelike you were hoping Id be gentle.

Darling, Im not here to coddle.

Im lavender, yes. But not the kind they put in linen drawers or lullabies.
Im the kind they lock in black glass bottles and hide behind false bookshelves. I wear spice like silk and let the vetiver trail behind me like cigarette smoke in a jazz club.

You loaded the brush too fast. Thats okay.
I bloom best when a man slows down.

And when I lathered across your facewarm, slick, low and hummingyou finally understood.
Im not here to shout.
Im here to stay.

By the time the blade touched your cheek, you werent shaving.
You were confessing.

Lavender Noir EDP is a beautifully complex fragrance that blends fresh lavender with warm, smoky undertones. Its elegant and mysterious, perfect for those who want a scent thats both classic and uniquely captivating. Long-lasting and smooth, it effortlessly balances freshness with depth.

This shave soap is not over barring, has the right amount of notes to keep it fresh and clean! It delivers a great lather and shaving experience!

Let me start by saying: I didnt use Lavender Noir I experienced it.

This soap is what James Bond would smell like if he traded in his martini for a double espresso and his tuxedo for a silk robe and a straight razor. The scent hits you with lavender so suave it might try to steal your partner. Two kinds of lavender, mind youbecause apparently one wasnt enough to seduce your senses into complete submission.

The opening is bergamot and mandarin, but dont be fooledits not citrus like refreshing orange soda. No. This is citrus that wears Italian leather shoes, drinks scotch in a study, and maybejust maybehas a mysterious past in espionage.

Then it gets deep. Like staring into the fire after a long day of riding through 19th-century France deep. Pink pepper, geranium, and jasmine samba in with flair. Then oud, patchouli, and amber roll in like a slow, confident thunderstorm of luxury and shadowy intentions.

And just when I thought Id figured it outcoffee. Not "Starbucks in July" coffee. I mean a rich, roasted note that whispers, Youre important. Go back to bed. You own silk sheets now.

Lather? Like shaving with whipped velvet. Glide? Like your razor is dancing the Viennese Waltz. Scent longevity? Lets just say my bathroom still smells like a Parisian lounge 3 hours after I left for work.

Final verdict? This soap smells like a gentleman thief who only steals hearts and fine colognes. Buy it. Shave with it. Then write apology letters to all the basic soaps you've ever loved before.

If you love lavender with a dark, mysterious twist, this soap is for you. The deep, rich floral notes combined with a hint of spice make for a truly unique scent. The lather is thick, cushiony, and protective, offering an ultra-smooth shave. The post-shave feel is hydrating and soothing, perfect for evening relaxation (or any time of day really). This is one of my top 5 favorites by A&E!

The Ultima base lives up to it's name, no complaints there. This is an amazing scent; dark, mysterious, unisex that a man or a woman will like and not overpowering. This is a pleasure to shave with and the after shave and spray cologne are must haves if you like this scent.

I was initially worried about the lavender scent, but oh boy... this is a must-have! It's probably one of my favorite scents ever, and the Ultima base is simply the best!

Very clean and fresh smell, the lather is nice and the shave is phenomenal. 10000/10

No words to describe the creaminess and slickness of Ultima base.
