Asian Pear Shaving Soap - Ultima 2
The pear is definitely the star here, but this isn’t a bright or overly fruity fragrance. It’s a warmer, richer take on pear.
Dried fruits add depth and sweetness, while tonka and sandalwood give the fragrance a smooth, warm foundation. Tobacco brings a deeper richness, with just a hint of coffee and soft florals adding complexity in the background. It’s almost gourmand, but not quite. The darker tobacco and woods keep it from becoming too sweet or dessert-like.
What I really love is how the pear remains present throughout the fragrance. It never gets lost beneath the darker notes. Instead, everything seems to wrap around it.
Notes: Bergamot, pear, dried fruits, tobacco, tonka bean, coffee, jasmine, sandalwood & cedar wood.
We are proud to present Asian Pear in our new custom glass jars, embossed with our logo and packaged in our custom black tubed boxes, each hand-stamped with our wax seal. Each jar is generously filled with 5 ounces of our new Ultima 2 shaving soap.

Excellent soap. The scent is wonderful and the base provides an amazing combination of slickness, creaminess, and protection! Lathers amazingly.
This one has a beautifully calming scent. At first, the brightness of the pear stands out like a Williams Pear brandy. Then it dries down and shows some vanilla. Its a great year round option. But its really pleasant now in the summer heat. And the K2E base is still the best bargain in shave soaps. Slick, protective lather that a straight shaver must have.
The quintessential A&E classic!
The is such a fun and fruit forward scent profile. The Pear note has just the right amount of sweetness and depth. This is one of those soaps that makes the ritual of wet shaving so worth the experience. Its a sensory delight. A must have in your A&E collection.
Asian Pear was one of my first A&E soap and splash combos. Fantastic scent. You cant go wrong with any of your products everything Ive tried from them is an absolute winner. Looking forward to what Peter releases next!!
Great soap. Lovely Scent.
This is my least favorite fragrance ever, it smells like potpourri. Of all the A&E soaps I have bought, this one straight to the trash can.

Nice and smooth with nice fragrance
Great soap and produces excellent lather. Smells really good but I prefer asian plum. Very happy with it though
This is by far my favorite scent of all of your offerings. It has a crisp clean scent that lasts all day, especially if you use the splash. This scent is the one that started me on my journey with Ariana and Evans.
Ultima 2 is fantastic. Great slickness and cushioning. Lathers into a rich creamy lather. The Asian Pear scent is wonderful and I love it.
Bardzo dobra baza, piana łatwo wychodzi,wszystkie parametry top.
I shave my head twice a week and I love this profile. The performance is outstanding. The smell is outstanding smells very nice. Do not be afraid in getting this profile. Smells and works awesome
Great product
El pro es su performance... es increible , mi problema con la linea Ultima 1 y 2 es sus aroma complejos y no es que sean malos son complicados para mi, por el resto, me encanta el resultado del afeitado y el post son increibles
Awesome scent! Awesome lather and post shave! 10 out of 5 stars!
This scent is one of my favorites. Sweet but not sickeningly so and like all A&E soaps it feels amazing on the skin. It lathers up beautifully and the lingering smell of pear on the skin lasts for hours!
A refreshing and lightly sweet scent thats crisp and clean. The base is phenomenal, offering superior lather, slickness, and hydration. The post-shave feel is smooth and soft, making this an instant favorite!
