I gave Fu Dao another go this morning and I'm still confounded by this scent. Maybe it's my pedestrian nose or maybe it's the fact that I only have a sample, but I have no clue as to what I'm smelling beyond the firecracker. I don't get any of the brighter notes out of this soap that it allegedly has. My brain doesn't want to spend that much time parsing scents while shaving. Thankfully Ocean Grove doesn't give me too much to think about ("Oooohhh, I smell like the ragosa rose bushes all over my house that's three blocks from the ocean!).
Monday's here already? That sneaky bastard. Time to caffeinate and slay dragons. Have a great day all!
福 (Fú Dào) is a little flatter smelling in the soap and the firecracker notes dominate. The complexity is easier to pick up in the aftershave and fragrance, though I wouldn't call any of the versions bright.
