So what are the opinions on this brand? Any favorite scents?
I have a full tub of Spice and a sample each of Seville and Fougere Classique. I love them all.
I really liked Cologne Russe.
I have Lavender in the Omnibus base I believe. Makes a super slick lather.

Great soap and very easy to produce a very creamy, slick and dense lather.
No Leviathan or eigengrau ought to be a crime!!! but this is a great lineup with quite a few homeruns imo. Omnibus is one of the best bases in the biz too.
Probably my favorite scent of theirs

I'm really liking Waves.

Waves = So incredibly good.
I have tubs of waves, seville, and bay rum plus a sample of spice. Waves is my favorite for soap, seville is my favorite overall and the aftershave is really good. Especially after the dry down.
Would love to try cool, Muir Wood, and le grand chypre as well.

I didn’t like Le Chypre when I first smelled it. After lather and shave it really like the scent. It’s interesting how the scent changes after lather and then again after shave for most soaps. And changes yet again after an aftershave.

BM Cool has a very mild scent, soapy. Pairs well with Clubman, and would likely pair well with any aftershave given how mild it is. I'm guessing this scent would be nice with a little menthol added.

Waves is a great take on Gillette Wild Rain, I believe. I love the scent and have B&M's Waves aftershave.

Nice spicy, floral scent.

Cologne Russe = great spicy scent that's not too floral, pairs well with Clubman.
Eigengrau is definitely a seasonal release, and I think Leviathan has been recently as well. And I don’t think summer is that season
(All joking aside, neither of them are even available to purchase right now)

Very earthy smell, pairs well with Clubman.

Interesting scent, almost a sweet earthy smell. Very nice.
I think this is still one of his best scents to date, but definitely a little more "difficult" and more suited to cooler weather.
If you have Clubman Vanilla AS give that a try with it, I think it's a very nice pairing and goes better than regular Clubman.
That pairing and then Caron Pour un Homme cologne is like one of my-all time favorite combinations
