1st B&M soap, which one to choose?

[Hu3ir0 Hu3Hu3]

Dear guys, I'm at an impasse and can't decide. I would like your help, because sometimes I put one in the cart and sometimes I add another, I would like to get both, but I can only choose one and I can't buy samples. So it will be a shot in the dark.
which one should I take? priority is best fragrance.

How to say, it's not worth buying samples. I'm outside the USA, I'm going to import, I'll pay additional shipping + taxes. It's worth buying the biggest one.

Well my source is short drive, so I get your being out side USA.

Of the two soaps you list, I'd pick the Cheshire.

Having said that, my favorite B&M is 42.

Cheshire for me, too. Smells like opening a huge bag of plain M&Ms. Really.

 

[Whisky]

Cheshire for me as well.

Smells like M&Ms man I like soaps that smell like yummy things. You should let us know on this thread what you think when you get it that would be fun

I like soaps that smell like yummy things.

Yes, next month this Stirling is on the radar.
I imagine the young ladies on the streets smelling that delicious smell of coffee, sighing, dying to drink me whole!

Cheshire smells like spackle to me. It's not bad, though. I'd probably go for like.

Cheshire over Lime. Cheshire is based on bergamot and has some character. To me their Lime does not stand out much--it does not have that fresh lime scent which is what I was looking for when I purchased it. To go a bit further, I would choose Passiflora (re-released at the same time as Lime came out) over either of those. Wonderful scent and a bit of a legend.

Buy one big one and some samples? Though it looks like you've already ordered I'll chime in anyway.

Seville and LGC would my blind recommendations. If it has to be one of the two listed, then Lime. Cheshire I like, but it has a strange "dusty" smell that I can see some people not liking, whereas lime is quite safe and less of a roll of the die.

I really like Le Grand Chypre as well. One of my favorite B&M soap scents.

I have several B&M soaps but have never tried the Cheshire nor the Lime you asked about. One of my favorites is one that I think many people dislike: Fougere Gothique

Of the two soaps you list, I'd pick the Cheshire.

Having said that, my favorite B&M is 42.

I haven't tried 42. Can you describe it?

I really like Le Grand Chypre as well. One of my favorite B&M soap scents.

LGC is one of my favorites throughout all of the modern artisans, not just Barrister and Mann
