    How is the scent of this? Does the menthol over powers the SDM scent to your nose?

    Initially yes but the menthol fades rather quickly

    I'm about to learn how quickly the menthol I asked to be added to Sandpiper A.S. will fade.

    The regular menthol fades more quickly than the Glacial. It should be fine.

    It is quite overwhelmed.ing on mine but I have heard others say it was not an issue. It's the only Stirling soap I have ever had that problem with.

    well, I'm glad there will be SOME menthol added, but not enough to interfere with the nice Sandpiper scent.

    Definitely interests me for the Stirling aftershave splashes but the soaps, balms, witch hazels, and bath soaps I'll buy only from Rod. I have personal reasons for doing that. :)

    I remember you saying before you couldn't get the aftershaves in Canada

    It's true because they're alcohol-based. If there's a Canadian vendor selling them then I'm in like Flynn! :happy005:

    Very good and informative website. He's in Ontario, not that far from where I live. For sure I'll buy the Glacial aftershaves from him. :)

    I can smell the menthol in it, but I don't think it overpowers the SDM scent.

    Here's my first freeze out shave in awhile (I live where it is quite hot year round, so you will see a lot of these type shaves coming soon)

    I got a bottle of the Port au Prince splash, and I just love it. The lemongrass is more of a top note, but it lasts considerably longer than most citrusy scents. The vetiver is more pronounced once it dries down, but it is mellow. It lasted many hours; great staying power for a light scent that isn't cloying or sticky at all.

    This stuff is a serious new favorite.
