Between that and the cost in dollars, these do not seem to be in my future. You did not get hit with any customs type fees? Which did you get and how did you like them? Feel free to PM if you are concerned about going off topic.
Artisan soap scents and their inspirations
- Thread starter FaceScraper
- Start date
No, no customs. Their soaps smell really good. I purchased the Dali (because I am a huge fan of his art) plus Red Moon and Male. The performance was very good, as is fairly common with a lot of modern formulae. For me, it doesn't beat out any elite bases (A&E Kaizen, Zingari Man Sego, DG Milksteak, GD Kairos, WK Siero, etc), so a purchase decision would hinge on a scent that is a must have.
@FaceScraper and all,
Here is a link to a Google sheet for a very rough first draft of the Shaving Soap Homage/Inspired by list. I do not have the Chatillon Lux collaborations with Declaration Grooming and the other artisans they collaborated with.
For starters, I have only listed products that the artisan admits to being "inspired by" for the particular scent. Where a full collaboration has been forged (ie, Gentleman's Nod/Zaharoff, Zingari Man/Byron Parfums, etc), those are listed as Collaborations and not an Homage.
I think everyone should be able to edit/add to this listing, but let me know if that is not the case and I can have a look. Feel free to add to this so we can make it as complete a listing as possible.

awesome thanks !!!!
I couldn't seem to add info to the spreadsheet. I did a search and Hai Karate was originally released by Leeming/Pfizer from the 60s to the 80s. It was discontinued in 1987.

I've never used or smelled Hai Karate but it sounds like a scent I'd be interested in. It looks like Black Belt (PAA's Black Bot) was also made by the same company that made Hai Karate.
Another PAA homage on your list - Deja Fougere. I didn't see this on PAA's site.

It works. I was able to update it this time. Thanks for putting this together.
