Vanille Vendetta Shaving Soap - Ultima 2
Vanille Vendetta is vanilla with a little attitude.
At the heart of the fragrance is a beautiful vanilla absolute that smells warm, rich and incredibly inviting. This isn't a sugary or overly sweet vanilla. It has depth, character and just enough spice to take it in a completely different direction.
Pink pepper and elemi provide a lively, peppery spice, joined by juniper berries and coriander for an aromatic edge. A hint of tonka adds warmth and softness without pushing the fragrance into gourmand territory.
As it develops, amber, musk, sandalwood and other woods create a smooth, warm foundation that allows the vanilla to remain the star from beginning to end.
Vanille Vendetta is warm, spicy, woody and unmistakably vanilla. It's also completely unisex and one of those fragrances that simply smells good on skin.
Scent Notes: Vanilla Absolute • Pink Pepper • Elemi • Juniper Berries • Coriander • Spices • Tonka • Amber • Musk • Sandalwood • Woods

This is peak shaving. Straight from the hands of the shave gods. Men become stronger and women swoon at the pure luxury that is scent, feel, and after care that is the Vanille Vendetta and the ultima base.
My wife had a hysterectomy and I was able to get her pregnant because of the strength this set have me.
This makes the creamiest lather and the scent is outstanding. The vanilla scent is not overpowering but it is there. Love the Ultima base.
One of the deepest vanilla scents I have ever experienced. The sweetness of the vanilla is complemented so well by the other notes that A&E includes in this scent profile. Not to be missed if you are a fan of vanilla scents!
Wow - not sure why I did not pick this up earlier. FANTASTIC scent - great vanilla and not too sweet. I got the Splash and EDP as well and have gotten a ton of compliments on it today already. Very different than some of the other vanilla scents that I have.
A must have vanilla scent
Smell was amazing came in really nice packaging would definitely buy again!
Smells and works great
I’m enjoying this, just expected more vanilla
Love the vanilla scent the shaving soap works well!
This is an amazing top tier shave soap. The fragrance is significant without being overpowering. The chem. provides a slick relatively irritation free three pass shave. My preference has always been with the tallow based soaps and this both fits the bill with necessary skin conditioning and razor glide. I am pleased and proud to be a loyal customer. Keep the magic going.
Easy to lather, nice smell, high quality
Great shave soap with a warm fragrance. One of my regulars
Nice scent, good all year round but perfect for autumn/winter. I've been a huge fan of A&E soaps since kaisen and ultima is absolutely top tier. Across the board A&E is my absolute favourite brand of shaving software. Everything just works and it does it well.
This is a review not so much on the product itself, but the customer service. An order was placed for this scent mistakenly and immediately followed up with an email requesting to cancel this order so the correct scent could be ordered. It took two days for a response from customer service and by then the product had shipped and we weren't given any option for a return or refund. Unfortunately, this was my first experience with the A&E brand and will likely be my last regardless of the quality.
Hello Lauranne (Chris),
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
You had mistakenly ordered the wrong product. Unfortunately, I was in Italy on a business trip as I mentioned to you, my daughter was and still is overseas in Morroco on holiday and my wife was home sick with Covid. My employee, as busy as she was got your order out very quickly and we couldnt fix your mistake in time. I'm sorry this happened, but this turned out to be the perfect storm and we simply could not help you.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
The best vanilla scent ive ever come across and thats exactly what i was looking for. A&E soap is in the top 2 or 3 out there and could be #1 in that list on any given day. I’ve got several A&E products and I’m sure I’ll procure more as time goes by. Also, really like the new packaging of soap.
One of the most luxurious scents I've experienced. Talk about a high end smooth vanilla explosion of fragrance. Easily my most valued soap I've purchased.
The best Vanilla Scent on the market hands down. Very sophisticated with many layers but vanilla is always there. Top scent in my rotation.
To the face that wronged me,
You thought you could keep using that bargain bin soapdrying us out, dulling our edge. You forgot what we once had. But I didnt.
Now Im back.
Rich vanilla, but not the bakery kindno, Ive aged. Smoked. Hardened. Theres spice in me now. Darkness. Warmth that burns just a little. I dont come in peace I come for redemption.
With every pass of the blade, I take something back. Pride. Moisture. Dignity.
Youll feel it in the slickness. The cushion. The way your razor glides like a whispered threat.
This isnt just a shave.
This is a reckoning.
Sleep smooth,
Vanille Vendetta
It's OK if you like weak brown lather.
And if you do not wash your face after you shave, you will be smelling vanilla for the rest of the day.
Hello Jim, Thank you for your email and subsequent review. I know based upon your message to me you are 79. So, I thank you for your business and sharing your thoughts to the many new-to-the hobby wet shavers. We are known throughout the industry and worldwide for our products and take great pride in what our family business has accomplished. I want to remind you, after your initial email to me, you followed up on April 24th at 4:50 PM Eastern and I quote 'Disregard what I said about the soap. The problem is not the soap, it is the brush' That's verbatim. I publish all reviews and although, you seem to contradict yourself, this review will remain on my site.
Wow the smell on this is amazing. Quickly becoming one of my favorite soaps to use. To my senses it almost has a vanilla tobacco scent and it is really blowing my mind how great it smells.
A decadent vanilla scent with a rebellious twist! This isnt your typical sweet vanillaits rich, warm, and slightly smoky, making for an incredibly refined experience. The lather is thick and cushiony, delivering flawless razor glide. Absolutely top-notch!
Incredible vanilla scent that is not overly sweet. I was concerned it may be, but it almost has darker tones that make it more complex. Not sure if this was the intention or not, but it almost smells like a darker Kilian Angel's Share to my nose.
One of my most used A&E soaps. I love vanilla and this one does not disappoint. As with most A&E soaps this is not just a simple vanilla note. There is complexity that is intoxicating, making you want more. I find with most mens fragrances that are not Blue, go with this soap and after shave. Once again the Ultima base provides the user with the upmost comfort while shaving. Just adding another positive element to the overall experience.
Great Soap
Bought this for my girlfriend to use on her legs, she loves it, I love it, I am definitely going to steal it from time to time, can't wait to buy it again for myself
This scent is intoxicating. Rich and complex, it's a fantastic soap. It's in the top 10 scents of my collection.
Best A&E scent. Might be the best vanilla scent ever. O has a great one as well. I like the Ultima base a bit more and this scent as well. GOAT of vanillas. Theres a spiciness to this and some woods. I think sandalwood.
