I’m starting to expand my cream collection and I got a tub of TOBS grapefruit today. It smells totally sublime, seductive and sensual. Is there anything better?
Is there a better smelling cream than TOBS Grapefruit?

I think only you can decide that because fragrance is so subjective!
I really like TOBS, but I find that Stirling has better scents. Of course, this is subjective, so it may not be the opinion of everyone.

That's a good description for Geo F Trumper Spanish Leather cream. My subjective "2 s/cents"
TOBS grapefruit is great! Citrusy, tart, refreshing!

A very tough question. Out of all the citrus scented creams and soaps I’ve tried to date I would rank TOBS Grapefruit as the top scented citrus without hesitation. This is mainly because it’s so true to the scent of real grapefruit that, as @sarimento1 alluded to, you’ve got to restrain yourself from eating it!
The only other citrus cream I still want to try at some point - and I have said this before but still haven’t bought it - is Cyril Salter’s Sublime Citrus.

I don't know if it's the best scent there is but it sure is darn compelling. I have a tub of it and I think what makes it so great is how much it smells like real grapefruit. I'd put the scent as pink grapefruit. It's got a sweet yet tart scent to it. And it literally makes my mouth water when I smell it. So, I agree with @dan86. But even so, there are other scents that I find amazing for different reasons. I think scent illicits certain emotions tied to memories and therefore lots of different scents can amaze different people for different reasons. But I'll always have a tub of TOBS Grapefruit in my den.
I think it’s a pink grapefruit smell too. I’ve only owned one tub to date and am about half way through it - looking back through my emails I purchased it in 2015! The scent hasn’t deteriorated to my nose at all. I’ll always own a tub of it too.
Love TOBS Grapefruit . . . but love Stirling's Orange Chill and Iced Pineapple even more. All three are winners, though.
What's a good AS for TOBS grapefruit?
If you like TOBS Grapefruit, you'll probably like Truefitt & Hill West Indian Lime. Both are very natural and true to the smell of the fruit, IMHO.
TOBS St. James has a beautiful fresh citrusy gentle aquatic scent. I have yet to sniff anything TOBS that doesn't smell better than anything at the fragrance counter at the local department store! Jermyn Street is another unique scent that smells like nothin else I can remotely compare it to.
TOBS Grapefruit's scent is fleeting; it doesn't last much longer than the shave. Hence, you can slap on pretty much any AS you wish without conflict.
My subjective choice is Trumper Coconut Oil SC.
The grapefruit is definitely one of my favorites. Like mtnman62 it makes my mouth water when I open the tub.
TOBS Avocado is also amazing. I would not have believed it if I didn't have a tub. I have no idea why they call it avocado, because I have never encountered an avocado that smelled so good!
Stirling Orange Chill and Grapefruit smells more natural for me. TOBS grapefruit is lovely but it's more fragrance-like than Stirling's essential oils.
Very subjective topic but I do love the grapefruit. My favorite TOBS scent though is St. James. It is, for me, a classic scent that never gets old.
I shaved with this yesterday.....this is my favorite scented cream......absolutely stunning citrus scent.
