If you’re a fan of Millisime Imperial and wear if frequently like I do, then this soap and aftershave is what you need to bring it all together. The scent is nearly identical to MI. The scent profile is perfect. The projection on the aftershave is a respectable 3+ hours. If you’ve been wet shaving for some time now, then you know the Kaizen base is fantastic- great performance, slickness and post shave feel.
As soon as purchased the set and tried it at home, I instantly ordered a back up scent!
So do it!

wonderful scent spectacular kaizen base

The Kaizen based lathered beautifully and performed great. I have six shaving soaps from Sphinx Beard, three are great and among my favorites, this one is not one of them. It is not that it is bad but to my nose the scent ,while interesting, was on the light side. To be fair, most shaving soaps are on the light side to my nose but Smolder, Spartan, and Ancient Kingdom all come through loud and clear. I always look forward to my next purchase from Sphinx Beard.

have not used this yet, but i already know the kaizen base is outstanding & the scent strength on this is top notch!!

Had a decant of Millesime Imperial, liked the scent.
What an awesome discovery it was to stumble onto this soap in Kaizen base!
The scent reproduction is absolutely on point.
