I got a sample the Trafalgar cream and I loved it. The only problem is that I generally don't do so well with fragrances - I do much better with essential oils. I know that Art of Shaving uses essential oils in their creams instead of fragrances - but is there anything that is essential oil based that smells remotely like Trafalgar? I would be open to soap too.
T&H Trafalgar Essential Oil Alternative

I would say almost certainly not, although I suppose that depends on just how "remote" you're talking. According to the T&H website, Trafalgar contains sandalwood, cedarwood, jasmine and spice. You could look for a product containing those and see what you think, or you could try to approximate the scent blending those oils yourself. But unless you're extremely good, or extremely lucky, I doubt you'll get something that really smells like it.
Traf is a pretty synthetic scent. I doubt you're going to find anything like it in an EO. Honestly, the drydown almost reminds me of an artificial approximation of honeydew melon.
If the sample didn't bother your skin, chances are you're find to use this cream. If you do end up buying a tub and it causes a skin reaction, you can always sell or trade it on the B/S/T.

I'm curious, do the T&H shave creams such as Trafalgar have added color?

Most of them. Trafalgar is a very light steely-blue.
I was thinking that, too. Some heavily perfumed creams can irritate my skin, but I do OK with Trafalgar.

Thanks for the ingredients make up. I think I might find something similar from Em's Place - based on her ingredients lists. I have some samples from her that I need to check out.

Looks like outdoors or balancing might be a good match.
Trafalgar is what I suspect James Bond would smell like.

Let us know if you find something that meets your expectations. I'd be surprised if you find anything in Em's products that even comes close to emulating the Trafalgar scent, but then, I don't know what your standard is for smelling "remotely like Trafalgar" is, either.
