Best scent of Mama Bear's shave sticks?

[gasdoc]

Title pretty much says it all. I am looking to buy 1 or 2 shave sticks to take to the gym for convenience. Would like to try artisan makers and thought mama bears might be good and the price is right. So which scents are the best? I know scent is pretty personal and I'm not a huge fan of lime or lavender. Otherwise, just looking for suggestions/descriptions.

Thanks,
MC

I've had a ton of mama bears and only kept two... Hydrogen shave stick and Polynesian red... Both very manly

Awakenings. Fantastic soap. Especially after the gym, that will cool you right down!

As scent is very much a YMMV thing, I would look at buying some sample packs to find out what ones YOU prefer. Sue has a large sample set in a cool cigar box listed in the VENDOR subforum that should see you have just about everything at your disposal.

on the website there wasn't a section with "samples" other than the giant 66 soap sample for $70. I'm looking to go a little smaller. Do I just need to email for sample pucks?

Yes, from her site, type "sample" in the search bar (upper right on screen). I think you can also add individual samples as a drop down from each soap listing.

Of the scents I've tried that are available in stick form:

Spellbound Woods is my favorite of the stick scents and I think good for Fall.

Ye Olde Barbershoppe is kind of a treat for its retro smell.

Brute is very good and very close to the old glass bottle Brut smell. But, since you're not a fan of lavender or lime I wouldn't recommend it for you.

Black Code smelled a little bit generic to me, kind of just early 2000 cologne-y smell. Good but not great.

But you can't go wrong with Mama Bears soaps of any kind, great performance and scents.

America is one of my favorites.
