almost no scent [SEP] guys buying this stuff are doing it as much for the great scent as for their skin after shaving the cream soap and splash in the venture set are not sillage monsters but they have far greater scent strength than the balmsince balm is the final step of the shave it should have a bit more fragrance i should thinkso same great captain s choice balm properties as all their flavors but the beautiful venture scent is unfortunately too weak to warrant a repeat purchaseif however you plan to use a cologne the upside is this stuff won t get in the way and your face will feel terrific
