Best smelling soap you've ever used?

[Daiku]

Probably Cella. B&M Seville is very nice too. And I never tire of Proraso Green.

As of today, Queen Charlotte's Queen Charlotte scent. It doesn't seem to get much love around here and I admit that I didn't fall in love right away, but the rosy, floral, woodsy scent has grown on me. I'm still evaluating the performance though since I purchased it in the summer and it's more of a cool weather scent.

I just have a sample of the Queen Charlotte. To me it smells very close to C.K. Obsession for Men. A very nice scent!

Still Mystic Waters Bay Rum.

Newest Razorock XXX is second, with MW Maestrale coming in third, perhaps tied with RR 160. Haven't quite made up my mind on that one.

RR P160 started to get a bit over the top for me.

The best smelling soap I have ever used was Creed's Green Irish Tweed. Too bad it was a lousy performer.

Agreed.

I have a tub of thus, too. My wife loves it, and bought it for me. As far as soap goes, plain old Arko bests the pants off it.

The HTGAM Chocolate Bourbon smells and works great.

Tabac - for both performance and scent.

Another great scent for me is L'Occitane's Cade.

Of the high-end ones: I just tried Antica Barbieria Colla - nice and simple bitter almond scent but I think I started to feel some burn by the end of the shave. Nevertheless, skin felt very well moisturized and supple and the shave quality was great.

Cheers

LA Shave Soap woody lavender.

Cool thread. Many of the usual suspects and some scents I have never even heard of before.

I can't pick just one, but if someone put a gun to my head and made me choose, based on scent alone: RazoRock Son of Zeus

A toss up between TOBS Jermyn St or Cella. Two very different scents, but both are great in their own way.

Tabac!!!
