Barrister and Mann

What would it take to get roam made again? I know money talks!

+1, although I think the answer will involve a flying pig...

The only time I ever smelled Diamond I thought it was weird. What I got from it was dirt, grass and stale beer with grass being the predominant note. It's been a long time though and my nose wasn't as keen as it is now at picking through scents. I guess your nose may vary...

I usually describe it as a sweet Roam. I get some kind of caramel out of it right off the top.

But you're right. Different noses are going to appreciate different things.

Wait a minute... A sweet Roam? Man I really gotta try this now.

Yep like Roam, minus smoke plus caramel

I too will buy a couple tubs of Diamond if made a preorder. I already have one but man I love it.

I hope we don't seem like peer pressure over here to Will. Lol.

Never tried Diamond, but having been to a few ballparks, the only thing I guess that is missing is the hot dog smell .

Hmmm. Boiled Hot Dog Shave Cream. I think I'll wait for the reviews to come in.

...it's also intriguing to see how the same products can be revered or disliked...

Apparently that comes with the territory when the soap maker/perfumer takes chances and follows his passion. We reap the benefits. I count 15 B&M soaps that I've purchased. Only one of them is truly not for me. There was one (Leviathan) that took about 8 hours for me to acquire an affinity for it, but ultimately I came around. I used to try to nail down a favorite, but it shifted all the time. Now, I'm really just a fan of the brand.

Honestly, I anticipate this making periodic releases, but not annually. Will has said he wasn't completely ruling it out. I have 2 unused tubs and one that I'm about 2/3 into, along with 2 bottles of the Tonique and 1 Kyovu. I'll start getting worried when I break into that 3rd tub. The good news is that Roam doesn't suffer much from time.

Will will there ever be anymore Diamond?

Maybe? It didn't sell that well when we released it, but a lot of people are really clamoring for it to come back. So we might reconsider.

Will, I fully support this. It is truly an under appreciated masterpiece. Matching tonique would just be icing on the, uh, mound?

Matching Tonique would not be possible because of the beer.

Barrister_N_Mann I used the 2016 Hallows today for the first time.  My frame of reference for how it should smell is the 2014 Hallows as I was, sadly unable to acquire any 2015 Hallows (still not over it).  Will, my question is has the 2016 Hallows scent formula been tweaked?  My observations are this, out of the tub the 2016 is slightly muted compared to the 2014 and in the lather I picked up a noticeable hint of the vetiver that I am unable to tease out of the 2014 version.  Could this be a glissant formula related phenomenon or did you have to do something.  Don't get me wrong, its not better or worse and I'm not complaining, merely observing.  They're both great just to my nose, slightly different.

One other thing, how does it make you feel, knowing that you're enriching the lives of countless men and women every day?  Few of us get such tangible feedback on the job we spend the majority of our waking hours occupied with.
Thank you,
Mark

I didn't do anything differently, no. My guess is that it's an oddity inherent in both the age of the 2014 batch and the peculiarities of Glissant vs. White Label.

This money would have to scream from the top of a building.

Possibly periodic, but definitely not in the near future. Making Roam is a bit like handling red hot frying pan; eventually, we end up getting burned, so we try not to do it too often.

Yeah, there's no hot dog in it

Okay I'm curious which one was the one you didn't like?
