I wear Sung Homme infrequently and when I want to smell like manly soap. The closest I can come in describing it is if you softened the pine and spices of Quorum, mixed it with Irish Spring soap and then waited around to enjoy an old-school floral and woody dry down. I say "old school," because it achieves this spicy-woody dry down without the use of Iso E Super which is so common in more modern fragrances.
If you're a fan, I just opened a mug-sized Mama Bear's Bonsai shaving soap and it was a dead ringer in my opinion, especially for the opening pepper, citrus and floral heart of Sung Homme. I personally don't wear Sung Homme enough to make this a regular purchase from Mama Bear--she just has too many other great choices--but I wanted to pass along this find for anyone who wears Sung Homme frequently.
Also, Sung Homme brings back the Irish Spring of memory, not today's Irish Spring. It is softer, more rounded although the green is still synthetic. But the synthetic is OK because it is so soapy clean. So if you're a fan of the old version of Irish Spring, you might like both Sung Homme and Bonsai.
