I just used Stirling Gentleman because many of the members of this forum have about it and I have an adult son that loves it. Great cologne aroma with less musk than Mountain Man. (Slightly sweet but in no way feminine. ) Deep Blue Sea is another excellent cologne scent that is very clean and fresh with subtle citrus. (Not like Stirling Blu! ) The sample sizes are large and provide several shaves. Samples of the aftershave and EDTs are available as well. Good luck!
Here are a few specific questions. I know Bleu de Chanel relates to Deep Blue Sea, Creed Aventus relates to Executive Man, and Tom Ford's Oud Wood to Stirling Agar. Here are some unanswered pairings: Dior Sauvage= Chanel Allure= Chanel Allure Sport= TF Ombre Leather= TF Tuscany Leather= TF Costa Azzurra= Armani Ambre Eccentrico= Armani Bois D’Encens= Armani Myrrhe Impériale= Armani Vétiver Babylone= Creed Bois de Portugal=
https://www.stirlingsoap.com/pages/scent-descriptions Here's a link to the scent description page for most of Stirling's offerings. It also tells you what time of year a particular scent is made available. I don't have all the descriptions memorized, so this page is a great place to start. To be honest with you though, I focus more on the soap's list of notes and ingredients. For instance Dunshire is Stirling's twist on Acqua di Gio. I actually prefer Dunshire and don't even try to pair it with the original version anymore. Hopefully this helps.
SOTD March 16, 2019 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: Schick Razor: PAL Injectomatic Brush: Ever Ready 100T restored badger Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man aftershave St. Patrick's Day shave. I won't shave tomorrow so I got this one in today. What a beautiful scent. I had a tinge of warmth today from the splash that I haven't noticed before. I know this scent bothers some people but I haven't noticed any problems before. Could've just been my shaving technique with the Injectomatic. Couple of weepers today. Regardless, wonderful lather and scent and a fine experience overall.
I had Gatlinburg as part of a sample set. It had a pleasing scent. I was sort of middle of the road on it. I came away thinking "Maybe I'll include it again in a future sample set, for a 'second opinion'".
You inspired me to use the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo tomorrow. This way I get to enjoy that beautiful Sharp Dressed Man scent and freeze my face off at the same time!
Uh LADIES&GENTLEMEN: In an act which can only be described as sheer clumsiness, I forgot the 4 remaining dates for the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards nominations.

I just got an e-mail from Doc Ezlovan&crew and it appears Glastonbury will still be around this spring, unless you found something to the contrary.
Dunshire and Deep Blue Sea have arrived and Dunshire will be employed today! EM and Twice Dark are in route.
According to the email that went out, this will be the last year Glastonbury will be made. I was curious if anyone knew why:
