Just finished the "Sophisticate" hand/bath soap(meant as a bath soap, but I use it at the sink for hand-washing), and now the Barbershop hand-soap is set to go.
Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic - three times as much menthol as the original version with the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent, the same wonderful, super slick lather, and such great skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing along with a powerful menthol sensation, and the Alcolado Glacial menthol splash works so well as an aftershave. My cologne today was Chabrawichi 555 which is from Egypt - an extremely cheap brand which smells very nice - it’s a mixture of lemon and lavender. Egyptian barbershops use it on their customers. My Minora blade is still performing so brilliantly - my shave was perfectly BBS! Be healthy and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'd say a combination of Vanilla and Sandalwood. Maybe some barbershop, too. Doc Ezlovan sure gave it the proper title, as it does provide that "sophisticateD feeling". I wonder if he plans to make it into a shavesoap/aftershave set? Hope so.

Amazing shot! My tub of Iced Pineapple should be arriving in the next couple of days - I'm really looking forward to this one!
Well, I had a great mail day today! First shave with Iced Pineapple was great! Surprisingly realistic pineapple smell, and a nice amount of menthol (on par with Proraso Green IMHO). Afterwards I hit myself with one spray of the Executive Man EDT, and I’m still catching whiffs of it about 4 hours later. I’m glad to see that the EM EDT is the exact same scent as the soap!

When I really love a scent, I'll sometimes skip over getting the aftershave and just get the EDT (so the scent lasts longer) and just use an unscented something another in between for the A/S. Or in a few cases get all 3 in same scent. Iced Pineapple really deserves an EDT. Great move gcconspiracy!
Thanks @jayjacque ! I couldn’t agree more. I’ve had two shaves with the Iced Pineapple/Executive Man combo, and I’m really digging it! It is really nice to have the scent last all day, and although they aren’t the same scent, I kind of think of EM as a more cologne-ish version of Iced Pineapple... I tried out my sample of Ramblin’ Man today (with Proraso Wood and Spice EDT) and really enjoyed it too, but tomorrow will definitely be another Iced Pineapple/EM day! I think Iced Pineapple is quickly becoming a favorite... Thanks again for the recommendation!
We;ll have to see if I use more of my Glacials this month(sometimes it CAN get humid here in September in Boston, California(ah mean MA).
I looooove the scent of this Stirling goodness! soap is a typical great performer, and the a/s has got to be my most fun to use. The a/s also leaves a great feel.
