My secret to getting around the scent thing, (and I agree, Coniferous is the best natural smelling pine forest scent) is to use the Scots Pine Sheep soap, but then use Coniferous, Ozark Mountain or Christmas Eve splash afterwards. Performance of the Sheep, with a long lasting aftershave scent that you like better, bam!I actually got samples of Scott's pine and varen (along with the aftershave samples) last Saturday and I already own a full size Glastonbury. I shaved with the Scots pine this morning, and it's okay scent wise, but I like Coniferous better as far as the scent. Way better pine scent. We will see how varen goes. The performance of the mutton soaps is unbelievable, but I'm just not sold on any of the scents so far... I really wish they would do my favorite scent, Christmas eve, in mutton!
