Sandalwood, especially the pre-reformulation one.

Too hard for me to pick one, but for the sake of this poll, I voted Trafalgar. Love the spice and jasmine. Personally, I think T and H's versions of almond and lavender are the best of their kind (YMMV , of course).

Glad to see that T&H Lavender is getting high marks. I just bought a partial tub from a forum member and can't wait to try it! I hear it is pretty close to Coates Lavender, which is one of my favorite scents of all time.

I love the Trafalgar scent (wearing it today!), but was not thrilled with the shave cream performance.

I voted for T&H Lavender. It's similar to Coate's in fragrance and performance.

Just got my T&H Lavender. It sure does smell a lot like my beloved Coates Lavender. Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning!

First shave with T&H Lavender was everything I hoped it would be. Awesome Coates-like scent, rich luxurious lather, and a close, comfortable shave.

Dave, yeah, I rediscovered the T&H Lavender after not using it for many years for some reason when my Coates ran out couple of months ago. Great scent and performance....really could not ask for more in a lavender cream IMO. The rose is great too.
