It's not like this hasn't been done before, but why not another fav list for 2021? This is for Scents. Slickness, post-shave feel, easy lathering, etc. are all secondary. Here's currently mine:
1. Stirling Iced Pineapple (Executive Man sneaks in here as well as about the same thing without the menthol) - Great Aventus clone smell on the cheap
2. WSP Tobacco - Love, love, love this stuff. Was my first entrance into tobacco scented and turns out it was also the best
3. Declaration Grooming Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli - Talk about perfectly combining scents. I don't know if I could ever tire of smelling this
4. Catie's Bubbles Le Piment de la Vie, LPV for short - Wish I'd discovered this one sooner, saved me a bunch of experimenting. Super great spice cologne scent
5. Stirling Varen - Hunted for a certain classic fougere scent and finally found it with this one. Since have found 3 or 4 others similar, but this one holds that special place in my heart
Next level down but not by much: Razorock Zi' Peppino and Razorock Don Marco - Tobacco and Bergamot/Neroli scents respectively
