The Undersea Shaving Soap - Ultima 2
I wanted to capture the feeling of actually being beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Imagine diving into the crystal-clear blue waters off the coast of Sardinia. Sunlight filters through the surface as you descend, surrounded by cool saltwater, colorful coral, smooth rock and the natural greenery of the Mediterranean seabed.
That’s the inspiration behind this fragrance.
Fresh marine and ozone notes create an immediate feeling of open water, while sea salt and minerals give it that unmistakable Mediterranean character. Subtle touches of algae and underwater vegetation add a natural green freshness, while coral, sun-warmed woods and a touch of citrus bring brightness and depth.
The result is fresh, clean, mineralic and incredibly inviting. It has the character of the sea without smelling overly salty, fishy or like seaweed.
This isn't the scent of sitting on a beach looking at the Mediterranean.

This is the first major miss I’ve encountered with A&E. For me, this scent is just awful. I suppose it’s on me for not remembering that ozone is the smell a copy machine emits, and they were clear that ozone is one of the primary scents. I tried to get past it and focus on the other scents, but I found it impossible. The performance of the soap is as good as ever, but it smells like a Kinkos circa 2002.
Glad this scent was made in the Ultima 2. This is one of my favorite A/E scents. Ultima 2 is fantastic and the new packaging and jars are great.
Ordering and delivery process was acceptable. Product is very good. Lather and slickness are top quality.
Great product
Arrived on time and well packaged. The soap is phenomenal—a light scent off the puck that explodes once water is added. It produces a thick, luxurious lather with excellent cushion, glide, and residual slickness. The splash extends the scent while hydrating and refreshing the skin. A lovely soap with a fantastic scent.
I am not an aquatic scent person but i saw a lot of reviews and thought I would give it a try. Bought the soap and the splash. First shave and I was hooked. Love the scent. This will always be in my shave den
Once upon a time, there was a brave little man who didnt know how to lather properly. One day, he opened a tub called The Undersea and was whisked away to a watery kingdom of clean ocean breezes and easy protection. His razor glided like a dolphin on a slip-n-slide. And from that day on, he shaved with joy in his heart (and less blood on his neck). The end.
I have to agree with other reviewers in saying that this is very unique and very interesting. I am very fond of aquatic scents, and this, along with Aqua de Boracay, are easily my favorites. Im not sure how they can come up with such a complex scent that works so wellvery talented. The A&E soap base is elite level, so no need to elaborate on that.
For me, best aquatic scent in wet shaving. So fresh, clean and definitely aquatic. Perfect summer vibe
This is an unusual exotic scent. It reminds me so much of certain flowers in the summer; there's a time in the summer when so many flower scents mix and catching the scent all at once is intoxicating. It's a summer scent, sweet but not too overpowering. Feminine, at least to me. I have a sample from Maggard's. This might be a good aromatherapy scent for those winters where summer seems far away. Very unique.
This is what I call an aquatic fragrance. Wow. The name fits perfectly. The scent is once again of absolute niche quality, which is unbelievable. Fresh, aquatic, marine, fruity, floral, tropical, perfectly blended in absolute symbiosis. A true masterpiece and my go-to for the hot days of the year. Absolutely invigorating and refreshing, and very unique. The soap lathers perfectly and leaves a soft aftershave face feel. You won't regret the purchase!
Great soap!
Pete makes wonderful aquatics. I purchased this with the first label (I loved that crazy label). This one is different than any aquatic I have ever smelled. Absolutely fabulous!!!
