    Would make mine too.....Boston summers can be just as humid and muggy as Alabama. Course Lino lives in dry country.

    Ok, got a birthday coming up end of this week. So of course I use that as an excuse to buy samples of Stirling.
    Here are my scent preferences, y'all tell me what options y'all recommend.
    Lime, Irish Tweed inspired (of course)
    Sandlewoood, cedarwood, rose and of course have to have at least one menthol.
    I can order 5 or 6 samples.
    Ready...... Go!

    Not all menthol soaps are created equal. Are you looking for just a touch of menthol, or do you want it to haul off and smack you? Anything named "Glacial" would be the latter. Orange Chill, Iced Pineapple, Gin & Tonic on the Rocks are more in the touch of menthol category.
    Frozen Tundra has a little more menthol, but still way less than a glacial.
    Sharp Dressed Man is Green Irish Tweedish. So is Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo.

    And it's not a scent you listed, but I highly recommend grabbing a sample of Electric Sheep.

    Scent Description

    Piacenza is close to Parma. A blend of citrus, florals, Rosemary, Amber, and musk. A scent for the ages.

    Happy Birthday!

    Coconut Lime is one of my very favorite summer scents. I support your consideration of going Glacial with it!

    All this talk about Glacial is making me shiver so tomorrow I’ll grab my Glacial Black Cherry! ;)

    Loll Somehow I’m of the opinion that the Gin & Tonic on the Rocks is quite cold. Yes, it’s well below anything Glacial but it’s got a hell of a nice menthol kick to it. I believe the Frozen Tundra is the second strongest menthol soap after the Glacials!

    Hard to describe this scent profile, but I like it. May order another sample of this one as well. IMG_20190502_083756_371.jpg

    I think Baker Street is juniper and peppermint.

    For the time being, I rotate two Stoylin aftershaves with the Soap Exchange soap(Lumberjack)-the full Unscented and the sample Agar.

    I enjoy the pleasantly cool feel of Clubman Reserve Special Gin-but it lacks rocks :).
