Does anyone want to guess at the three most popular Truefitt & Hill Scents and the 3 least popular? I would guess the three most popular (in order) would be 1) Trafalger, 2) Grafton 3) 1805 and I would guess the three least popular (in order) would be 1) Clubman 2) Limes 3) Spanish Leather. IT's just a guess. I'd be curious to find out how others would rank them.

I have no idea, but I'd say Trafalgar, Grafton, and 1805 would be tops. No way is Spanish Leather in the bottom three.
Despite my love of all things lime, my favorite T&H is Grafton.
I like Grafton. Its a very masculine fragrance. My gf likes 1805, but I almost feel like its too generic. Its got that standard oceanic scent that you smell everywhere nowadays. Its a really nice cologne, I just like Grafton better.
PS Anyone else think Trafalgar smells like Fruit Loops? Thats all I can think about when I first put it on.

That's the thing. Everybody's girlfriend likes 1805. Maybe guys should think about that when choosing a T&H cologne.
A lot of people say this, but I don't really see it. I think 1805 smells much better than any of the "generic oceanic scents" on the market. As Dennis Miller always says, though, "that's only my opinion; I could be wrong."
Never thought about this. Now that you've put it into my head, though, I'll probably notice it the next time I use it.
Is "Clubman" a T&H scent? I thought it was Pinaud.
I have most of the T&H scents, but all are in different forms. I love the Trafalgar but don't get the resemblance to Froot-Loops (of course, I don't eat them). My only complaint with their shaving cream is that its difficult to wash way.

My brother recently spent a semester in England, and brought back a few samples of T&H cologne. He gave me a sample of Freshman, and I like it. It's not that unique, but it's pleasant
The first cream I ever tried was T&H 1805. Loved it (wife hated it but that's another story).
Point is I liked it so much I ordered their sampler. Did not like ANY of the others at all!

Must admit I only have and have only tried T&H Spanish Leather. Love it!! Have heard some poo-pooing it for not having any "leather", but that is why I love it! If anyone has any they don't want, cologne or aftershave splash, pm me!!
Won't hazard a guess as to the overall popularities, but my top three would be Trafalgar, Limes, and Grafton, in that order. Trafalgar stands above the other two for me. I think it's the jasmine that gives it a really soothing scent that's also fresh and not cloying. The 1805 gets a lot of love, but after I tried the cologne from the sampler, I didn't even bother with the cream or ASB. Blech!
I thought I responded earlier, but I guess not. My guess would be that Trafalgar is the top T&H scent, followed by Grafton, but for some reason those that really like one are not nearly as fond of the other. I think Grafton is a wonderful scent. I have a decent sized decant of it. Nothing else in the T&H line really caught my attention so all I have every had is the samples from T&H. Hard for me to remember them. Clubman is a T&H scent and also a Pinaud scent. I cannot really remember what the T&H version smells like, but I think it is fairly barbershop, just as the Pinaud "defines" barbershop.
Over time one certainly reads Spanish Leather and 1805 being mentioned more than Limes, Clubman, and Freshman.

OK, guys. I called T&H and here are the rankings:
1) Number one by a huge margin, not even close, is 1805.
2) Number two is Trafalgar.
3 & 4 are tied between Grafton and West Indian Limes.
5) is Spanish Leather
6 & 7 are tied between Freshman and Clubman.

Guess I will have to go back and edit my post above! <g>
That really doesn't surprise me. 1805 gets a lot of love on here, and is usually prominently stocked/displayed. I personally don't like it, but perhaps it works a lot better on others. Grafton is the only one I've actually bought and regularly use, although I would consider Trafalgar too.
That's funny because I couldn't tell the difference between their Clubman and 1805.. maybe they made a mistake with the samples. ??
I'm thinking you mean Freshman...the Freshman has mint in it. I actually liked the mint note but there was too much oceanic smell in it for me to tolerate.
Nope I meant Clubman. To my nose it's very close to 1805. If I'm way base on that, then maybe there was a mix up with the samples.
I don't really like the Freshman at all. It has a chemical note that irritates my nose. Plus I just didn't think it was all that masculine. It reminds me of Floris Cefiro, which is their unisex frag.
I think Freshmen smells good, but it's definitely not masculine. Almost a girly scent.

Emmet, your are dead on correct. I have been in touch with Truefitt & Hill and they indeed state that both 1805 and Freshman hare oceanic scents. The difference is in their top notes . . . 1805 having mandarin and cardamom. While Freshman has Rosemary and Lemon as its primary the top notes. It makes a huge difference, even though both are oceanic scents.
IMO Truefitt's Spanish Leather actually HAS leather (unlike Trumper's). It's a bit of an evening scent which is why I'd never buy it, but Spanish Leather is definitely my favorite in the entire T&H lineup. It's leather and soap with some musk, all three VERY identifiable in my opinion, with leather prominent.
Second favorite would be Grafton. Such a great gentlemanly scent.
