Black Watch by Seaforth! - From the description, it did not sound appealing:
-

"Bergamot, Jasmine, Plum, Leather, Oakmoss, Incense, and Sandalwood."

-
But after ordering a sample, I was blown away. It's both a "classic" fragrance while being "modern" at the same time.

For me it is the humble Palmolive shave stick. I had read that it has a mild soapy scent or almost no scent at all, but I get a strong smell of eucalyptus or spearmint. It reminds me of gum or sweets I enjoyed as a child and I find that really uplifting. Using this soap can actually elevate my mood, and it also leaves my skin feeling wonderful. One of the best soaps I have ever used.

Palmolive and Tabac are like time travel for me. They transport me back to places in my childhood. The memories are hazy but the smell is still very clear. They are the olfactory equivalent of comfort food.

Definitely some soaps on here I will be adding to the back log. Has anyone tried the Southern Witchcraft Labyrinth? The scent of wet rock feels like it will be the best or west ever. Hope it’s the former and will remind me of monsoon season in northern AZ.

I agree on all these that I’ve smelled, 1445, Arlington, Windsor, MdC and SV 70th…. Maybe I need to grab some Cubebe!
