Vitos Extra Super Coconut v Cella

Norfolkdick · Sunday December 15, 2013

Greetings

Can anybody help me please with a comparison between Cella (which I have tried and really like) and Vitos Extra Super Coconut, which I have not tried but would like to and probably will try.

I particularly would like a comparison of these two as Cella is the only soft Italian soap that I have tried so I will at least have something to compare the Vitos to. I am of course interested in any other soft Italian soaps that anybody would like to give an opinion on compared to Cella.

I think I prefer Tallow soaps but this may just be that my favourite soaps (Speick and Tabac) just happen to be tallow based.

Regards
Dick

I've had Vito's and to be honest bar scent it's practically the same

Performance wise, they could be brothers. Scent is completely different between them.

I'm using Vitos Extra Super Coconut more or less exclusively at the moment.

The Extra Supers contain glycerine - making a thicker and easier to generate lather than Cella. A much more subtle scent - marzipan drenched in Dr Pepper this is not. I'd say that Cella is slightly slicker, when dialled in, but can be altogether more fickle. Post-shave is similar.

I use both those soaps and there's very little to choose between them in scent or performance, so if you like Cella you will definitely like Vito's.

If I remember correctly the Super coconut ( why I bought it) had no scent of coconut at all, it smelled of almonds/marzipan just like Cella.

To me they both had a similar smell and performance, after the shave my face felt slightly better using VITOS, so i kept that and shifted Cella.

I've used both and there's not much between them. They're both excellent, in my opinion.

Same,Same...scent was a little more muted in the Vitos

I've used Cella - which I found OK but to throw another Italian softie into the mix, what about Proraso? Certainly my favourite out of them all. If you fancy a try Dick let me know and I'll happily get some off to you.

That is really kind of you but I don't like Menthol, I've had a tube of Ingrams for about 4 years!
