Glad to hear that everyone's enjoying it so far. I actually like the scent better in the aftershave than I do in the soap, believe it or not.

Exerpt of my review:

...DFS LE is only my second Barrister & Mann soap.  Given what I've read about Barrister & Mann soaps, I share the expected experience of a high-quality, luxurious soap with superior protection and post-shave feel and moderate slickness.  B&M indicates on their site that their soaps are "thirsty", but I really don't find them any more thirsty than Stirling or Wholly Kaw.  You can't easily destroy the tallow-based lather like you can with Stirling, though.  The need for more water is quite easy to detect with B&M.  If it's too dry, it's sticky and pasty and can't be confused with a usable lather.  When the right amount of water is reached, it suddenly pops with a lustrous sheen.

DFS is a limited edition product line from Barrister & Mann celebrating the inauguration of damnfineshave.com available to members only.  The scent profile was left entirely up to Barrister & Mann artisan, Will Carius.  B&M are known for their unique scents that are often polarizing.  DFS will probably live up to that.  The scent profile is "apples, cinnamon, cloves, oak, and berries."  Certainly, each of those elements can be detected individually, but in concert they impart a distinct aroma that is no doubt intended to evoke festive memories of the Fall and Winter holidays.  For some this will be a pleasant intoxicating, multifaceted scent of which they simply cannot get enough.  For me, it quickly becomes an annoying, overzealous holiday potpourri candle that permeates the home such that I feel the need to microwave freezer-burned cod just to cut the monotony.  See?  Polarizing.  I do applaud Barrister & Mann for being bold and putting it all out there, instead of settling for a muted, run-of-the-mill, satisfy everyone, vetiver/sandalwood offering.

The DFS alcohol-based aftershave splash has the same ingredients of B&M's other splashes with skin friendly goodies like witch hazel, matricaria, and calendula.  The scent is perfectly matched to the soap.

Despite the DFS scent, this was an enjoyable shave.

Can't please everyone. Glad you're at least enjoying the shaves, though!

Order has been placed!!!!

I'm glad you're not trying to please everyone. Otherwise, there wouldn't be Leviathan.

Got my order and shaved. Barrister_N_Mann is top shelf and I love the scent. Of course so dose my wife and now I think I have to share lol

Just finished my morning shave with the DFS Limited Edition and, Barrister_N_Mann, you have produced another winner as far as I am concerned. I had doubts when I read your description of the scent but those doubts went out the window the moment I opened the tub. Besides your very accurate description, for some reason, once I lathered up the soap, I got a subtle sense of fragrant wood pleasantly burning in the background. Weird, I know, but a very happy scent for me.
