The Stirling Exchange

I think the new ones are women's scents.

 

I only read the description for the Evie scent. But, I don't really care as long as they smell good. Well, maybe a little

 

One that is considered unisex that is dropping out of the lineup is Tuscany.

I have always liked it and so did one of my daughters. I bought inventory for us both.

I'll probably get some of the bath soaps for her to try.

Thank you, Tim!

I have a Stoylin set to go soon-this week-end presumably: Ramblin Man.(Soap&A.S.)

 

A question for a couple ya'll who like me, went from WSP products to Stirling (or anybody else familiar):
How do the tobacco soaps and scents compare? WSP tobacco was my very favorite from WSP. Also liked Tobacco Vanilla. Quite different scents though. The Tobacco comes across as almost pure tobacco flower/leaf scent, whereas Tobacco Vanilla has a good amount of vanilla to it. Where does Stirling Gentleman, The Lounge, and Halverford fit in? I'm assuming I'd like either Stirling Gentleman or The Lounge the best. What can you tell me?

 

The Lounge was green tobacco. Very green and verdant. It smells a lot like Zi'Peppino from RazoRock.

Gentleman is a unique blend but the tobacco isn't as prominent as you may want.

Haverford is a sweeter scent with a good bit of vanilla.

Those three scents are very different from each other, in my opinion. I have Gentleman now in the soap. I had The Lounge at one point but sold it and also had a Haverford set and sold it because it was a little sweet for my taste.

Jeeves of Hudson Street's Tobacco Bay Leaf is very similar to WSP Tobacco, for what it's worth.

 

Hey thanks Perry. That's a good synopsis.

 

"The Lounge" must be like that "Tobacco Lounge"(I think it was called that)that I purchased from that now defunct co. in California. Worst purchase I ever made on here. Stoylin Gentleman's tobacco, is indeed better. (By the way, I just took the liberty of explaining to our new friend Jayjacque about "Stoylin".)

 

The Lounge was a fantastic scent. Unfortunately my skin had a reaction to something in it.

 

I think that's what happened with me too....I wanted to like it, but my skin had something to say about that.

 

Luckily I still have a fair amount of tobacco product left over from WSP, so no urgency. If I see the Lounge however make a return, prob won't be able to resist.

 

As I mentioned, RazoRock Zi'Peppino smelled exactly like The Lounge, so you could get it if it doesn't make an appearance again at Stirling.

 

Ooooo--Ramblin' Man's a nice one
