    I will be ordering several summer items: iced pineapple bath soap and shave soap, glacial black cherry, glacial mita, and fine and tonic on the rocks.

    I'm sure there will be done more I will need samples of too:)

    Talking about Glacial, the Eskimo Tuxedo hit me with a menthol attack which felt borderline-painful but in a great way!

    That's the one I'm waiting for! SDM is a favorite of mine, and my wife, so if I can get the scent with the menthol-nuke of a Glacial, I'm set for the summer!

    This is funny - my wife is not really a fan of any of my Glacial scents, whether it's Wintergreen, Eskimo Tuxedo, Obsidian, etc but she says the regular MITA smells nice.

    Its kinda funny but the dominant scent in the box was black cherry. It was the one that I could smell from outside the box. and it smells great!

    I made up my mind one which ones to order! Also the large tin is very spacious and should be great for loading in.

    I didn't notice a dominant scent in the 4 samples I got(Sandpiper, X-Man, Sharp Dressed Man, and Stirling Gentleman), but once I sniffed Sandpiper, I said "Well, THIS is IT!" And it is indeed. Gentleman ranked a close second, but it couldn't beat the Piper.

    Black cherry is incredibly strong, which I love.
    I asked @ezlovan about making a glacial black cherry soon and he seemed quite interested. I will tell you now, @Linuxguile , you will want it in glacial.
    I believe it is one of Stirling's top scents. I like to pair it with the bath soap and Aftershave as well.

    I am really, REALLY hoping for the Glacial Black Cherry. Hint, hint. @ezlovan

    I prepared the Black Ice for tomorrow morning - that anise scent (to me) is awesome. This soap is the "forerunner" of the Glacial Obsidian which has a LOT more menthol!

    I've come to favor Stirling soaps. Granted the most experience I ha e is Van Der Hagen Deluxe, Arko, Razorock Classic and Taconic. I get the best shaves from Stirling. I started with Lemon Glacial Chill and Autum. Glory. Now I'm waiting for more samples to come in, they last a while for me. Sharp Dressed Man, Dunshire, Bay Rum, Pharaohs Dreamsicle, Port-au-Prince and Piacenza. Looking forward to that package to come.

    I shaved the whole face and head with it, lol. I guess I am a glutton for punishment.
