i love the scent of it, however, my girlfriend finds it too musky.

To get straight to the point, after trying out the zamples for 3 days, i could feel a difference in my skin, especially my nose, which tends to be more oily than the other parts of my face area. The charcoal has an effect on my skin, keeping my nose oily-free for more than 4 hours (when i was out).
I love it.
