    This is tough.

    For now, they would be (in no order):

    Executive Man
    Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
    Baker Street
    Piacenza
    Iced Pineapple


    This is so difficult! To recap, it took me a while to come up with just five. I love Sandalwood, Vanilla Sandalwood, Tuscany, Island Man, Weekend In Malibu, Sharp Dressed Man, South Padre, Frozen Tundra, MITA, and Orange Chill, and could swap any of them on that list for these. I think those I listed above just put that extra smile on my face when they come up. This is what pushed them over the top of a very difficult list.

    The one thing I love about Stirling soaps is that I find it difficult to find a scent I do NOT LIKE! After having been to Pasteur's and smelling what other vendors put out, I cannot make this claim for many vendors and artisans out there. In fact, I just got an order from Stirling and other than having replenished several samples with full size containers, I added without ever having smelled Red Eye, Stirling Green, Apple Cider, Agar and City Slicker. Yeah, many of these were on sale but I find each to smell wonderful. Stirling definitely has more shelf space than any other vendor in my den. In fact, my wife and daughter also love getting various soaps and lotions from Stirling as well.

    Thank you Rod and Amanda!

    Happy Holidays to all,

    Frank

    I don't really have a top 5 because I'm still working through a bunch of of samples, but these are keepers for me so far:

    Iced Pineapple
    Executive Man
    Mountain Man
    Maybe Baker Street, but with two cologne type scents in the lineup that I like better it may not make the cut.

    Thought I'd go with a morning shave today since I had extra time. What better way to wake up than with a snack on the face with @stirlingsoap Glacial's! Eskimo Tuxedo fit the bill nicely followed by Glacial Sharp Dressed Man splash and Glacial unscented balm. What a way to start the day

    Just curious, did you mean to write MITA, not MIRA?

    I don't view Baker Street as a cologne scent. To my nose, it's more barbershop on steroids, minus the powder. Completely unique, IMO.

    I'll be using the Frozen Tundra tomorrow - the scent reminds me of Glacial Wintergreen, just not so intensely-mentholated.

    Don't forget that "earthyness" it has. That's what makes me like it

    This morning I had to go to my Mom's house to meet a deadbolt-installer. It's always sad and eerie being in the house now, with her gone. But anyway-the morning cold hit me good. It was like a combination of Frozen Tundra and Glacial Wintergreen was all over the place.
