I haven't tried the eShave but I have an Aramis here which I use quite often.
It smells exactly like you would expect it to, it's Aramis! Loud and "in your face". I love the scent so that's fine.
When it comes to the lather it produces, in my experience (very soft water here) is that it initially lathers extremely well but a few seconds later it collapses and dries out no matter how much or how little water I use. Another thing I noticed is that it very slippery, I'd say more than any other soap I have tried. It's a shame that the lather is not stable. The scent and its slipperiness makes it up for me.
