I just received this as a sample in an order from Connought. I agree, very nice! Scent lasted most of the day.

WSP Tobacco.
I would lean towards green leaf. It is a very masculine scent; the other significant note I get is leather. Whilst Kerry mentioned pipe smoke in his notes, I get a subtler tobacco note. If you like the pipe smoke note, I would recommend Group Captain's Blend, by Squadron Soaps.
Here are notes on Spitfire written by Kerry and lifted from the P&B website:
"Spitfire is a scent I designed around the olfactory memories I have of my Grandfather, who was himself a WW2 Veteran of North Africa and Italy. An avid pipe smoker my "Papa" had an almost tangible air of leather and tobacco that seemed to follow him wherever he went.
For Spitfire I've taken the sweet crispness of juniper and blended that with the freshness of bergamot, woodiness of cedarwood and laid all three on to a base of warming leather and rich tobacco."

That sounds amazing.
And a fantastic experience if I recall. And I don’t even own a pipe.
Asylum Old Virginia. This is made for BullGoose by WSP, but it's quite different from WSP Tobacco. It''s not as sweet as many tobacco soaps.
It's one of my favourite soaps, but it is not for everyone. I really like the balance between the clean elements of juniper and bergamot and the "dirtier" elements of tobacco and leather, but some do not enjoy the latter notes.
Ariana & Evans Vanille de Tabac.
I've used a lot of tobacco scented soaps and by far, in my opinion, it's got to be Tik Tok from Oz Shaving co. It smells like you just walked into a tobacco pipe shop.
I am fairly new to wet shaving but have added a few soaps to my den with fragrances I am familiar with.
As I continually shop for soaps, i notice there are several with tobacco in it. Having never smoked anything before, I don't have an idea of what a good tobacco smells like.
So, what soaps do you recommend?
Thanks

Recent thread here... Best tobacco soap
Welcome to B&B, Sir R!
Do you have a tobacconist shop near you?

Barrister and Mann leviathan is the best tobacco soap I’ve ever used.
Btw, somebody mentioned b&m nocturne in the other thread. It smells like skoal cherry to me.
Fwiw, tobacco flower soaps, I don’t consider as tobacco soaps. They smell nothing like pipes or chew.

There are a lot of suggestions for good tobacco soaps in the thread I created. If you also look in the shave creams section I also created a thread there for tobacco creams and there are tons of suggestions there as well.

No problem. I love tobacco scented things. That's why I created a thread for soaps and creams. Check both out and you will find soaps and creams.
Razorock Puros is pretty nice.
I just received a sample of Project Leather and whoo boy...I did not care for it. I was intrigued at first, but the more I smelled it the more I disliked it. Then I couldn't get the smell out of my nostrils and I had a headache for the rest of the night.
As an ex-cigarette smoker, I smelled it and then put it into a Newbie PIF I did. How would you describe the smell of it?
I'm not really very good at describing scents, but the strongest note I'm getting is cigar tobacco, and I guess I was hoping for more of a sweet, pipe-tobacco scent. Either way, it's not for me.
