What are your favorite seasonal soaps?

Hi gents

So what are your favorite soaps for each season?

There are certain scents that i really enjoy based on the season. For eg. I love proraso green in the summer and red in the winter. Citrus scents like Lime for the summer and woody/earthy scents for fall/winter.

Below are some that i like.

SPRING (Mar/Apr/May)
------
- B&M Lavender
- B&M Cheshire

SUMMER (June/July/Aug)
------
- Proraso Green
- Stirling Island Man
- Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime
- Captain's Choice Lime

FALL (Sep/Oct/Nov)
----
- B&M Lavender
- L'Occitane Cade (just bought this but haven't used yet)
- Fine Accoutrements Fresh Vetiver

WINTER (Dec/Jan/Feb)
------
- Proraso Red
- Fine Accoutrements L'Orange Noir
- Pre De Provence No 63 (haven't used yet)
- Mike's Naturals Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper (just bought this but haven't used yet)

What are your favorites?

Stirling Christmas Eve is a must for winter. Other than that, I use whatever I am in the mood for at the moment.

Looking forward to B&M Hallows and Halloween. Also another one from DG that connotes fall in the south; forget the name. Smells like hunting season and burning leaves.

Also B&M Vespers, at Christmas.

Nice list! I am both cheap and burn easily, therefore:

Warm/Humid: Proraso White and Green Creams, and Proraso Green pre-shave
Cool/Dry: Proraso Blue Cream, Soap Commander Honor, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Tabac

I believe you’re thinking of DG Darkfall....I agree, it’s a wonderful scent, one of my favorites.

For warm weather i use
Arko stick, Proraso green bowl, Palmolive stick or Speick anything.
For cold weather Tabac everything or Dr. Dittmars or Proraso red.

Yes! Found it afterward.

Seriously looking forward to fall ... It's like 117-degrees heat index out there, and I gotta cut and get bug-gitter down ...

Like the D.R. Harris soaps, PdP 63 is hard, so it is best to bloom it, then load lots of soap to your brush and gradually add water as you lather. Mike's is a bit softer and easier to lather but both are very good.

I don't worry about seasons. I just use what I like when I want to

I do too when i feel like it but certain scents evoke to me certain seasons. I love the smell of Lime in the summer but not really in winter. In winter i love sandalwood and spicy scents. I like mentholated soaps like proraso green in summer for the cooling and refreshing feel in summer but don't really like my face to feel cold in winter.

I'm in the camp of Stirling Margarita's In The Arctic and Stirling Bay Rum being so good they need to be used year round!! No seasonal favoritism in my den...

Matching scents (or anything else) with seasons only enhances them, it doesn't detract from anything else. I think it's unfortunate that many people live so disconnected from nature that they can't appreciate that sort of thing.


There are plenty of any-time scents, but some of my favorites during particular seasons:

Soap Commander Vision is a great one for the summer months.

RazoRock Cumba Cheech (Orange Blossom & Jasmine) is a really great sunny-weather scent as well. Sadly discontinued, they should really bring that one back.

AOS Sandalwood, Proraso Red, and Calani Oriental Plum are great when the weather gets colder, as well as Old Spice and the modern "Old Spice clones" like Soap Commander Endurance and B&M Reserve Spice (although the clones resemble the AS and the real deal is closer to Proraso Red in scent).

 

[Sabre]

Spring/Summer:
eShave Mandarin
AOS Lemon
Mondial Bergamot

All year round:
eShave Lavender
Provence Sante
Pre de Provence
Institute Karite

I like A/E Summer Fig and Reefpoint Admiralty in the Summer Months.
