I got my sample pack today, 8 scents. The only one I'm not sure of is midnight stag. Not that it's bad, just maybe not for me. Have to try it. Maybe on an evening date. The rest smell fantastic. Summer Storm is up tomorrow, then maybe Ghost Town Barber after that. Sherlock, Trade Winds, and Cedar and Spice by the weekend. Orange Creamsicle is discontinued, but smells good too. Cryogen may be too much for me, try it Menthol Monday.
I've learned I can't judge a scent at all until I use it. My first thought was I would hate Tabac, but it's now one of my very favorites.
I agree, that's why I am reserving judgement. Not only right after a shave, but later in the day too. We all have different natural scents, and these combine in mysterious ways. It may settle down and be wonderful. I did a could test sprits of the AS of summer storm, ghost town and trade winds. They all seem to agree with me.
I haven't tried the soaps yet. I did however get a bottle of the trade winds AS. When I first opened the bottle I didn't care for it at all. But I tried some just to see what the performance hype was about. Well the hype was real! Great stuff. As for the scent, it totally changed when it hit my skin. I can't say it's my favorite scent but it's now close to the top. The sample of the gtb smells amazing. Need to order some of that soon. But I'm starting to accumulate way too much product right now.
I purchased the Ghost Town Barber, and the Cryogen soap. I LOVE the scents! I wound up picking up a bottle of ghost town barber A/S from Pastuer's Pharmacy in NYC. They carry the full line, so i get to smell them all before i buy them. I'm a lucky guy!!!!
I'm more of an Aftershave man than a soap man, but I have two Chiseled Face aftershaves-Sherlock and Midnight Stag. Ghost Town Barber will be next.
I have the Sherlock aftershave(and Midnight Stag, too). Great face feel(Haven't yet done the Stag, but I'm sure it's the same feel.)
I haven't sniffed it, but words like gasoline, motor oil and rubber in the description don't appeal to me at all. Just a matter of taste, I'm sure it's a quality product and I know other people who love it.
I have Cedar & Spice After Shave......I used it twice this winter....It reminds me of Christmas trees or fresh cut wood.
