I have the Avocado and its performs great, making me want to try another TOBS cream. Scent normally isnt that big of a deal to me I usually go for how well it works rather then just the smell. I'm 20 so I would like something that smells a little bit younger and after some floral creams I was thinking more cologne(ish). The main problem I was having is that unlike rose, lavender, or sandalwood, I dont know what a Mr. Taylor smells like and Ive never been to Eton College! So if there is anyone out there that has gone through a sampler or tried these which one do you think is the next one that I should try?
What should my next TOBS scent be?

I would recommend Rose. That one is just awesome! If you like roses, you will love that one.
Mr. Taylor, hands down. You've tried TOBS' most popular scent, why not try their signatire scent now?
Eton College is pretty good.
I vote for Eton College or St. James. Are you anywhere near a retailer where you can get a whiff of them?
If you are thinking a cologne scent, I like all the cologne-scented creams of Taylor's with the exception of Shave Shop, which I really dislike. Performance is fine, it's a scent thing- to me it smells like an upscale version of Ivory soap. Barf. That said, of the remainder my favorites are, in this order, Eton College, Mr Taylor, St. James. I personally love Eton, Mr Taylor is really nice too, and I liked St James great to start with but found myself less and less interested in it as time went by. All performed beautifully for me. If performance is paramount to you, I found Avocado to be a better performer (by a small but real margin) than its brethren.
I've tried then all. +1 on these suggestions. Eton is the lighter of the two. Seems like I read something at some point about it having been designed for a younger clientele.
I got shaving shop for my first one, very good scent, girls love it lol.

I'm near a nordstrom and dillards as part of a mall near by and last time i went they only have AoS stuff plus one or 2 smaller brands that i wasnt interested in. I wish they had some of the 3 Ts to try them out especially because the entire AoS store is right inside the mall. I asked and they said it was all they had, maybe i was looking in the wrong place?
Probably not. Nordstrom stores in smaller markets carry very little in terms of the shaving brands we know and love here.

Jermyn St. is my favorite. Check out Gary's Sample Shop and try them all before you commit to a full tub.
+1 on this! If your looking for a rich, masculine, "James Bond" type scent this is for you.
almond is the best is my opinion
I like the Jermyn St. and St. James scents. They are both light, clean, fresh scents. I did prefer the Jermyn Street scent over the St. James but not by much.
Jermyn Street Collection- A modern fresh fougere fragrance with bergamot, lemon, lime and lavender supported by a heart of geranium, neroli and amber resting on a substantive base of musk, patchouli and vanilla. An allergen free fragrance which contains Patchouli oil.
St James- A fresh masculine fougere opening with bergamot and mandarin intertwined with citrus ozone notes supported by a fruity floral heart resting on a woody amber base. Contains Coriander oil, Geranium oil, Lavandin Grosso, Lemon oil, Patchouli oil, Pine oil and Spearmint oil.
Eton College was similar to the Jermyn St. and St. James, and I did like it, but I preferred the other two above.
Eton College- A beautiful masculine fragrance with dominant citrus lemon notes combined with fruity citrus notes of orange and mandarin. All this is blended with gentle floral notes that rest on a base of warm patchouli. Contains Lemon oil and Patchouli oil.
