Thanks guys.
I am afraid if i wait for the 42 sample to arrive (croatia) it might go out of stock so that's why limited edition samples aren't so appealing for me. Plus the shipping of it costs more than the sample itself.

It's not that i don't like roam, but i'm just looking for smth a bit "sweeter"; milder, don't know how to describe. Hoped that fresh grass, caramel in Diamond could be just right. I don't have anything against earthy scents and I think it's smoke that puts me a bit off from Roam.

Thanks for the info on the Diamond relase Will. I'll most definitely be getting smth else then and if Diamon happens next year there will be a spot for it in the den.

When it can be expected? Or can it? I would like to have one seasonal or limited BM, Roam wasn't my thing really, now I am considering buying 42 or waiting for Diamond....

If Roam wasn't your thing, I might get samples of Diamond and 42 before buying if I were you.  I would put Diamond closer to Roam and Petrichor on the scent "family" scale (is there such a thing?).  I'm not saying that they're the same just related in that earthy kind of way.  42 is beautiful and I can't imagine that you'd be unhappy with that choice.

My rule when it comes to decisions like this is just buy it. I'd rather regret having it and try to sell it or give it away than regret not getting it and being unable to get it because its out of production. Now I don't apply this rule to everything but I apply it to B&M. You've probably seen the picture of my B&M collection. Its impressive.

I agree, Mark. It really is easy to understand. Smile

I assume this is legal since it's within the merchant's thread. Seville is being made available in the Barrister's Reserve soap & splash bases in the reddit sub. Permission was granted to share outside the sub as long as the post itself is shared instead of the direct link to the pre-order. There is a minimum number of tubs and bottles that need to be spoken for or it won't happen. Details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wetshaving/comm...e_seville/

Will you said earlier that Cool is a Chypre type of a fragrance. What would something like Floid Vigaroso be? What's the closest spiritual analogue to it in your line? Thanks, I'm trying to up my understanding of fragrances.

I have never smelled Floïd Vigoroso, so I'm afraid that I can't help you there.

Got my hands on a sample of 42. It didn't rock my boat. It's a bit too much lemony scented for my taste and not quite complex as I expected.
To remedy this void I got other two BM soaps. Cologne Russe smells divine. I can probably already say it's going to be one of my favorite scents in the den.
Night Music is interesting, love the sweetness of Vanilla/Strawberry but the musk that kicks in sort of kills it. I only had a sniff from the tub, will see how does it project when lathered.

Cologne Russe is awesome and I am a big fan of Night Music as well. I know that Night Music did get some mixed reviews but thats the beauty of Will's approach to scent. Sometimes when you're out there you're not going to appeal to everyone and thats ok.
