In the end, I decided to hold off. It looks like we're heading out to Pasteur's in the next week or two.

Need to keep my purchases to a minimum as I know that's going to be a spending spree. I'll definitely be checking the shelves for some of these listed, though. Nothing like being able to smell a soap in the store first.

Bear in mind the WK Tobacco Dolce will be way too sweet as smelled from Sri - it needs to air overnight open, then pretty damned good

I visited Pasteur's in the Summer of 2018 and ended up dropping over $300 on software.  So yeah, you may well be looking at a spending spree.  LOL.  The good news is that it is Heaven for wet shavers. The Pasteur exclusive that I would like to check out is Timmerman.  I wonder if they still stock it. Edit: I just checked online and they still have it.

"Scent notes:

Composition of exotic Oud and Woody notes. Complemented with Cashmeran, Cedarwood, Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, Labdanum, Elemi, Ginger, Olibanum"

Interesting. I'll have to look keep an eye out for it. The scent sounds complex ... Definitely something better met in person, rather than a blind buy.

Wow, I'm jealous Paul! 

Be sure to check out 'Los Jabone de Joserra'. It's the best new soap base I've used. Expensive, but worth it. There's a Tobacco offering as well:

And throw a sniff at this guy too:

Enjoy your trip... take lots of pics and let us know what you buy!

Bingo! Joserra Rodrigo de Jerez is my top pick and Eufros Tobacco is definitely worth a look.

Yep. I went to the website yesterday... Looks like they carry your soaps. Plan to check El Jefe out, along with a few others suggested to me.

Trail Tobacco by Macduffs would be my suggestion
