Fall/Winter Soap Scents?
Fall/Winter Soap Scents?
Been out of the game for YEARS. Back to shaving every other day again for the foreseeable future due to alopecia barbae taking my beard away. SOOOOOOO, who has the nicest fall/winter soap scent? Something pumpkin-y would AWESOME. Thanks!

Yikes Scott! I don't know the answer, but I took a fast look at google and there are a great many pumpkin artisan soaps out there! I'd recommend you take a look at the dozens of examples, and buy yourself two or three or four that catch your fancy. I recently did that when I was lusting for Vetiver. I found 6! Now I'm covered up in vetiver soaps, just waiting to use them. Good luck!

Um, er .... MWF??
Anything sandalwood for me, and I particularly find Tabac an excellent fall and winter soap.

Tabac always on the list.

Scott, I've never thought much about certain scents for certain seasons. For me, if it's a citrus EO scent, I'm happy any time of the year.

How could MWF and Tabac not be on the list?
To paraphrase a 1966 movie: A soap for all seasons
In addition Haslinger Ewe’s Milk and Sandalwood, Martin de Candre Fougere, and - maybe a bit of an outlier - Musgo Real Orange Amber.
For some reason I associate the latter with Christmas, but that could be because a few years back, when I used Musgo Real Orange Amber intensively during a Christmas holiday in (out of all places) Marrakesh, the local markets were full of the scent of oranges.
You know, the old scent-memory association....

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Re: Fall/Winter Soap Scents?
It's true that Christmas in Morocco doesn't smell the same as Christmas in Maine I asked my girlfriend for expertise, and she says that it'd be better for a man to go for Tabac or sandalwood in winter. She says it gives off a serious and refined vibe, while citrus would be, in her opinion, too feisty, too "light"... Unless it's in Marrakech, of course.
