    These boards are such a cross section of ages that I thought Kate would be a good compromise between Sophia (I actually prefer Raquel) and Alicia Vikander.

    Can’t please all the people all the time.

    I have the Teroso soap& balm and wouldnt call it a earthy scent. More on the spicy side IMO. It's too bad something in the fragrance burns my skin because it's a nice scent.

    Although I'm not old enough to have see her movies when they were new; my heart has always melted for Audrey Hepburn.

    I enjoyed the earthiness of Petrichor. My wife, however, did not.

    I will agree with Stirling Port Au Prince and add Stirling Glastonbury.

    You sent me a Pannacreama in your PIF, right?

    I believe it was Pannacreama Fume De London (London Smoke). it should have been in a metal tin, that's how they came when I picked them up on BST. Of the old scents (Labando, Lebaneese, LS, vetiver)I have tried Vetiver is by far the best IMO.

    Their Nuavia Rosa is amazing as well but can be hard to justify the price since the ceramic pot must exercise caution.

    I believe Ballenclaugh closed down their website but their soaps are still available thru their Facebook page.

    You may also have some luck on the BST thread.

    Just used Woodsmen this morning and had a magnificent shave. Would put it top tier just below Grooming Dept and WK.

    Pine Tar from Chiseled Face is good. I ran out sometime back but it's the last soap I bought before I went pretty much all Barbasol and Cremo.

    Used up the last of my Pine Tar, money was tight so I got into the habit of enjoying Barbasol and the Cremo menthol. I do have a puck of Aramis and some 1950s-1960s Colgate but haven't wanted to break them out. I get fine results with the Barb, and besides, now I got a full beard going so...

    LEA is good. PAA AQUA D, Tcheon Fung Sing 'Tabacco Verde" both have an earthy fragrance. ;)
