Barrister & Mann

I have the Lavender and really like it.
It’s a tie between Passiflora and 42.
Fougere Angelique: Citrus heavy, bright fougere - like it
Fougere Gothique: Dark fougere with a rather strong mushroom note - not my favorite but I don't hate it either
Cool: Floid Blue type scent that AFAIK has been discontinued; I made sure I bought some spares - love it
Seville: ordered recently, it's on its way to me and I look forward to trying it
Kalyptos: ordered it with Seville, I expect a Proraso Green type scent with B&M performance
I also have Fougere Classique which I love. Also discontinued, unfortunately.

Spice
There’s a kind of floral scent that appears in several of the soaps that I’m not a big fan of, but Norost is my favorite. Cool and Wave are the ones I think are okay.

#1 Leviathan. It’s like drinking a delicious, slightly sweet cup of coffee in a large leather arm chair.
#2 Vespers. It really does smell like a European village market at Christmas.
#3 Hallows. Dark rich chocolaty earthy warmth.
#4 Muir(e) Wood. Damp, berry-sweet woodsiness.
#5 Marilyn. Old school elegance.

Paganin’s Violin is probably favorite shave soap so far from the few different brands/flavors I tried.
Nordost Orange is probably my second favorite.

The fougeres. Classique, gothique, Angelique, and Seville.
Ordered some Barrister & Mann last weekend. Received it yesterday.
Muir(e) Wood and Le Grand Chypre.
Shaved with the Muir(e) Wood today. I enjoyed it for my first try! It definitely has a woodsy berry smell, and it seems to linger well post shave.
What is the deal with B&M soaps? Do they discontinue lines regularly? I would have liked to try Leviathan.

Oh yeah. How could I forget Le Grande Chypre?
Many of B&M's soaps are seasonal. Some, like Leviathan. appear every year like clockwork. Others appear every few years or disappear altogether. B&M recently cut way back on the inventory of soaps that they offer including cutting some long-time stalwarts like Cologne Russe.
I love cologne russe, but if it doesn't sell, I get it. Need to make room for things like lavanille.
Paganini’s Violin is fantastic. My favourite for sure.
Unfortunately I go thru tubs of B&M quicker than any other soap brands I own. Great soap though.

I really cannot pick a favorite - I am a huge fan of; Seville, Le Grand Chypre, Cheshire, Full Measure of Man (sorry it is discontinued)...
Agreed. I am frustrated by the departure of Full Measure of Man, among others...
Full Measure of a Man and Muir(e) Woods. Glad I grabbed a bunch of their scrap soap. Should keep me covered for a long while. Waves is also pretty good.
Eigengrau is my favorite.
Passiflora and Lime are also great.
Reserve Fern and First Snow are also great, but unfortunately discontinued.

The Barrister & Mann Diamond was my favorite, now discontinued.
I take the opportunity to ask here about another soap of theirs that is supposed to have been stopped: is the Barrister & Mann ROAM fragrance real pipe tobacco absolute, smoke, leather, herbs, damp eart, edition dated 2018 still in available edition or no longer produced?
Has them been reformulated and repurposed into a new formula?

I see a few mentions for Passiflora. I like it too but it's like loving a great detergent scent.
