Paul, I think everything with "Man" in the name (except for Gentleman and Witchy Woman lol) is based on a Creed scent
I like menthol in my aftershave so I almost always add it when I order from Stirling. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
It smells of Piacenza and menthol. The menthol scent fades pretty quickly though. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Menthol Monday: I finally used a non Bundubeard setup but it was very difficult to select my soap this morning! Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Minora day 2 Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB B&M Arctique AS Splash These Glacial soaps are exactly at the same menthol level as Jaco’s Kameelperd’s Kick and his X 3s - no more, no less. The Glacial Black Cherry’s scent is so nice, the lather is a delight, like all Stirling soaps the slickness is unbeatable, and the menthol sensation feels like liquid nitrogen on your face, yet the skincare is so good. The Glacial Unscented balm is icy cold, the soothing feeling is terrific, and the moisturizing is among the best I’ve ever experienced. The Arctique aftershave is probably the coldest on Planet Earth and it smells beautiful. Today’s shave was A1 - so BBS and enjoyable! Have a great week - stay safe and healthy and remember to wear your masks when you go out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried a cold water shave with Iced Pineapple the other night, seeing as it was a scorching hot day, and it was incredibly satisfying! Such a great soap.
100% correct. I still get emails from time to time asking what Creed scent Stirling Gentleman is based on, and I get to proudly reply "None. It's my own creation."
You should be very proud Rod! It’s a fantastic scent. I just got home from a quick vacation and opened my order which included a tub of Varen and matching splash. If I wasn’t feeling the onset of fall, I surely was after a few deep inhales of Varen! I just unwrapped a bar of Duke shampoo and am heading for the shower. I’m excited to try a new scent. Intrepid sounds like a strong contender for my next order. I’ll have to read the Creed reviews and know that Rod’s interpretation will be at least as good as the original.
Well the shampoo lathered and cleaned like a champion, but I’m not feeling the Duke scent.........at least not yet. I can’t place it, and sometimes my nose changes moods for no apparent reason, so I’ll see how the scent plays out as the bar wears down. I followed the shower with a shave using G&T on the Rocks, and the scent was a perfect end to a long day in the driver’s seat. I did some reading about Creed Santal, and will definitely be ordering a variety of Intrepid products very soon.
