This is a mutton-tallow base, and that makes for an extra-creamy-rich lather that your skin will thank you for. The pine scent is not at all unpleasant. The only reason you wouldn't like it is if you're just not into pine scents. But this is no pine cleaner odor, believe you me. It's more like taking a walk through a pine forest after a good rain shower. I bought this after trying their Autumn Glory post-shave balm (which itself has an awesome, earthy scent profile), and having gotten a Stirling synthetic brush via PIF, and having bought the bath soap bar form of this shave product, I now have a fairly complete Stirling lineup.
Like I said, the lather whipped up by this is rich and creamy, and goes on nice and slick. Something about the amino acids in the mutton fat makes for a soap that is luxuriant and manly at the same time.
