I bought this on recommendation since I was having issues starting out shaving with a DE razor.  It's not unscented, it has a "musky" scent.  I haven't found a difference between shaving with a Pre-Shave oil and Proraso Shaving Soap, Eucalyptus & Menthol and with just the Proraso.  I spent a lot of money for this and I think it was a bad investment.
