Winter soaps?

[john parker]

I personally enjoy vetiver as a hot weather scent.

Tabac when it's cold and wintry for me.

Same here. A true winter soap in my view.

I plan on using m&m St James Gate a lot this winter. It smells like spiced oatmeal cookies fresh out of the oven, reminds me of being at grandma's during her pre Xmas baking sessions when I was but a wee lad.

In the winter I like to soaps which provide a bit more moisture, generally good tallow soaps which include Vitos, Tabac & Palmolive Stick.

In the summer, I find some of the soaps I mentioned as my winter soaps can leave my skin a little over moisturised if that makes sense; my skin gets a bit too greasy in the summer months and avoid those soaps and prefer to use creams like Menthol Palmolive, Lea, Ingram, & Proraso Green croap.

Tabac, B&M Leviathan, WK Merchant of Leather are excellent winter scents.

Your post has me thinking I could get an unscented puck and "flavor" it with essential oil.....

Spent a good deal of time one day going through the racks of essential oil samples looking for something to add some scent to a bottle of massage oil, lost cause, only thing i could stomach was camphor which i did buy.

Lol, I love the smell of citrus, though I rarely consume any! But I've been putting bergamot oil in anything that sits still long enough for a little over a year now.

My wife uses essential oils all the time. Theives? is one I like the smell of, but can't imagine shaving with it!

Thieves® essential oil is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils for an aromatic blend that fills any space with a rich, spicy aroma. Inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals, Thieves is one of Young Living’s most popular products.

Back in the day tried doing the aromatherapy thing, very brief experiment, shudder at the memory.

My taste tends to change with the seasons. During the winter I go for soaps with good skin conditioning properties, for example Haslinger’s schafmilch or MWF. Others may go for a particular scent profile.

This!

Ir's summer on the beach in SoCal, so it's hard to think winter. But I suppose it's rose in the winter, citrus in the summer. It's really vague, though, more dependent on my mood than the calendar.

I do a lot of Bay Rum and citrus in the Summer. I like a muskier scent for the winter. My favorite soap for winter is Chiseled Face Sherlock, but my favorite aftershave has to be Clubman Special Reserve. I also favor Lilac Vegetal in the winter (usually paired with Wholly Kaw Vetililac).

Love this post! Lots to look into.

I do like winter time scents. As the weather turns cold one of my fall favorites is B&M Nocturne, and as it stays cold B&M First Snow and Stirling Coniferous are in the top for winter offerings. I do like Stirling's Christmas Eve also, but just have a 1oz of that. I only used it for a couple weeks around Christmas last year.

Newb here; meager winter collection:
Soap: Siliski Santa’s Pipe
Aftershave: Clubman Bay Rum (make a very “Christmassy” scent w/ the soap), or PDP no. 63 if one of my new Feather blades jacks my chin up.

I shaved with Tabac last night, and spent several hours under a bitter north wind this morning. When I came inside my face still felt good, no wind burn or dryness. It's not the only soap that will do it, but this is fresh testimony.

I used APR Fenchurch today. Absolute perfection for a very cold morning. Tomorrow, I will dive into APR Winterfall or maybe MMcN Ouroboros...
