PAA Alt Eleven and RR Santa Maria Firenze real close, with Fougere and Sandalwood next.
Best soap scent ever.
- Thread starter shave/brush
- Start date
Adding B&M East Egg and DG/CL YRP, both awesome.
Since I started wet shaving I have always loved TOBS Sandalwood, but today I just used Stirling Baker Street and that was pretty amazing.
Since I found CRSW Olfactory Hue, it has risen to the top scent for me.
That RR soap scent blew me away when I bought it on a whim recently. I'll have to try the PAA one now.
Crabtree & Evelyn Sweet Almond Oil.
If you can find a sample i Highly rec9mmend checking it out. To my nose the scent is anything but light and is quite complex plus performance of Storybook Soapworks is top notch.
Shaken is hard to describe, it has Sandalwood in the mix and also notes of "Money" which is interesting and you can detect that unusual scent. It is a "Darker" type of scent more suited for Colder months but could be used year round. Would be perfect for a late night dinner party or other suit & tie events. Bottom line there is nothing else quite like it I have come across and smells like something from a high end Cologne manufacturer. Really like the "Silage" of the A/S as it morphs and changes somewhat over time. Performance of Storybook products is EXCELLENT IMO and is highly underrated which may be due to the limited scent options.
I agree, have picked up both the Balm and the Cologne and even the Cologne does not have the longevity one would think which is a shame since this is a wonderful scent. The bar soap smells good but is a bit drying on the skin.
Just started using Baker Street, I love it!
NOS Floris 89 was pretty amazing. Stunning actually. It was also one of the worst performing shave soaps ever but that’s a topic for another thread.
PdP is up there for me as is DRH Almond and Arlington. Mystic Water and B&M have wonderful scents in general and I’ve really liked some of the specific ones mentioned in prior posts.
My personal Arko/Tabac scent is tallow Valobra. The funk of NOS art of shaving soap is Pavlovian.

Sebum Red. Utterly unique herbaceous floral scented with essential oils.
There are many. It's hard to cut the herd, but here are mine:
MdC Rose and Fougere
Nuavia Rosso and Blu
Declaration/Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli (I sprayed a spray of the EdT about ten minutes ago, and my wife just walked downstairs and commented about the scent. She likes it, but has a sensitive nose, and I don't. I got another polite lecture about not intruding on others in my workplace with scent... which I appreciate and acknowledge.)

DR Harris Windsor.
I just wish that it performed as well as it smells.

Well Scott, we can agree on the YRP. Truly a spectacular scent. Regretfully, I confess I have not tried your other choices. We have at least one other co-conspirator in this thread:
And I have to put in a good word for another favorite Noble Otter soap Thé Noir et Vanille. In this I am joined by another individual with impeccable taste:
There is NO best soap scent!
