Love the barbershop... Even if it's not traditional, as some say, it's a great scent.
Off topic, but I also love Razorock Blue Barbershop. Probably my favorite barber scent. [emoji846]

Oh definitely, but sadly I am one of the few that gets cloyed easily, our hot weather does not help too.
Lasting scent of the Piacenza soap, to me, I'd say it's more than the Executive but not Baker St or Barbershop level. Those two has an underlying sweetness and warmth that will last longer.
I haven't tried the real thing either, but of the ones I've tried (which is only a few, there are a lot out there) Venture is my pick right now. Scent is fantastic and I like the Captain's Choice creams. In my opinion the executive man comes off with the higher fruity notes a little more pronounced, but the scent is overall notably weaker than the Captain's Choice. I haven't tried Fine soaps, but their Platinum is supposed to be a pretty similar scent to executive man in a soap with performance similar to that of Tabac.
I am horrible with scent descriptions, but I really like the description given in an Amazon review (regardless of how accurate it is) lol...
"Scent:
You ever seen Marlon Brando in the 1953 movie “The Wild One”? This is what I imagine that smells like. The scent is suppose to be RR’s recreation of the now mythical and unobtainable Floid Blue. I never had the luxury of smelling Floid Blue, so I don’t know - don’t care! Actually, what the scent does remind me of is Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic “Le Male” - which is suppose to evoke barbershops, leather, chrome and sensuality. Blue Barbershop smells like what I think “Barbershop” scents should be. There’s the initial citrusy/lavender~ish and powder combo with fresh black leather, a hint of cedar in the background? I’m guessing here."
I had to laugh here because you have someone describing a barbershop scent and has no idea what a barbershop smells like!! I would think that most people at some point in their life have been to a barbershop in their journey!! I just can't imagine anyone that hasn't...

awesome. I just ordered one
I just ordered the Stirling MITA afterbalm as well as the Soap Commander Respect afterbalm.
Looking forward to getting these in Australia as the alcohol versions cannot be shipped here (without taking out a mortgage to pay)!

I like Executive Man well enough, but I like Sharp Dressed Man even better.
Tallow is Very good for the skin period. I have Stirling Glastonbury and the scent is fine.
Well it just arrived! No worry about a gamey mutton tallow smell as it smells like a citronella bomb exploded. I like citronella as I have not been traumatized by bug spray in my youth. Gonna give it a try tonight!
Does anyone have feedback on longevity of Stirling Sandpiper? Especially relative to the latest batches of YSL La Nuit de L'homme.
I have the bath soap, and the scent doesn't last long on my skin at all and I only get a few hours of longevity from YSL, so I'm hesitant to make the purchase.
Thanks for any feedback!

Mine doesn't last very long. 30 minutes more less, maybe an hour as a skin scent. I wish it did as I got complimented on it a couple of times.
Wait, I think I derped on that one. I just remembered they have colognes now and I am only talking about the aftershaves.
I haven't tried the EDT, the performance could be very different. Sorry for the confusion.
I can't comment on the longevity of the EDT because I have only tried the soap. It's a fantastic scent!
Agreed...although the scent doesn't stay long on my skin, which is why (in combination with wasting tons of $$$ over the years on poor performing cologne) I'm hesitant to buy the edit without good feedback on the longevity.
I have Executive Man, Picaenza, and Sharp dressed man Edts. I get about 4 hours with a decent projection, but my SO says she can faintly smell it a few hours after that if I ask. I use 3 small sprays and the matching deodorant and I am good all day.
Well, how was it for you?
