This is a soap that sets a mood. Very nice second luxury shave this evening.

Oh, Marilyn sounds like an amazing scent!

It is a bit polarizing. Some don't like it at all. I did not like it at first, as I did not get the association with Marilyn Monroe, even though I'm familiar with the scent of Chanel Nยฐ5. After using the soap sample a couple of times, I decided to buy the EdT, and that changed my mind. Now I know what nuances are there but barely noticeable in the soap and splash.
