Parma Violet

I am getting dangerously close to finishing off my tub of Saint Charles Parma Violet shave cream. The problem I now have is that it's a scent that's no longer available. I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for replacing it. I have Trumpers Violet and it's close, but not quite there as far as scent is concerned.

Thanks in advance.

The usual suspect artisan cream/soap makers are my only thought as I cannot think of any manufacturers outside Trumper that offer such a scent. I know QED had a Violeta offering, but I seem to recall it did not go commercial. That Italian chap who made Typhron (I think), for FL also had a Violet cream I think but I do not know the status of that either. GL,

I shaved with Trumper Violet today for the first time in a while, great stuff.

I made some violet cream once with KMF unscented and some violet EO (fake, there is no real violet EO) and a whole lot of L'Artisan Parfumeur Verte de Violettes. Not bad.

Wrath, I have a pot of unused SCS Parma Violet that I would be happy to send you for the cost of shipping, If you want if, let me know.

Tryphon did indeed offer a Violet cream that is, as near as I can tell, lightly scented and shaves like the other creams from that company.

You might ask SCS to make you another batch. I think they do that sometimes.

I had a similar situation with another SCS cream a couple years ago. I contacted Sue and she gladly made another batch for me.

Send Wendy an email and I am sure that she would want to continue her Mom's tradition of pleasing their long time customers by making you a batch of your favorite cream.
