As I mentioned, I am adding some thoughts on the scents that I have. I love them all..
Earl Grey and Ginger - I bought this one looking for a tea scented soap. This one is not quite a tea scent for me. That being said this is probably my favorite. The bergamot is nice in this one. It is citrus but with a slight tannic quality and a breath of lemony sourness that blends well with a light touch of ginger. The ginger is not a spicy, burn your nose ginger. It lends a grounding effect that gives the profile body and depth.
Admiralty - This is sweeter scent for me. The first scent that hits me is almost a bright but not blinding blend of lemon and grapefruit with a touch of caramel. I have not smelled other yuzu before, but this in this soap it is that blend of lemon and grapefruit for me. The other scents of amber, musk and sandalwood are blended well together that not one scent dominates the other. I enjoyed this scent so much I bought the balm. This is definitely one I will be using during Spring.
Aviator - Man! <-- That is the description. What? Not enough for you? OK! So this is definitely a leather scent. This though is not a cowboy leather. This is that fighter pilot walking up to a F-4 Phantom, strapping in, and taking it to it. The leather is never gone on this soap, but vetiver and musk start to come through. This seems to lend even more the image of a man wearing leather jacket and getting life done. I do not get a lot of the other described scents. Again, ---> Man!
Submariner - Got this to give to a friend who was a submariner, and then could not give it to him. This is actually the soap I am shaving with now. This is a more floral scent than the ones above, but not a bed of roses and patchouli. There is a warmth with this soap. Not a Christmas spice warmth, but warm none the less. A nice balanced woody base exists. Not any of the resiny/turpentine wood smells. This for me is really a nice everyday scent that I could have as my only scent and be happy.
Fougere Santal - So this is a sample I got in my hunt to get a soap to match my Country Club for Men Classic Fougere AS. Does not really match the AS for me, but this is a great scent. This is one that I have much hard time describing. It has a spicy edge to the floral scent. Wish I could do better at describing this. It is not as spicy as Old Spice, as green as Brut, or cool as Polo Blue. I am really thinking about going for a jar of this.
Hope this helps. These soaps are top notch. This one brand I will always have some of, and if they ever give us bad news like others have in past several weeks then there will be a hoarding!

I know this thread is a cadaver but I wanted to resurrect it and give Reef Point some props. I have maybe 7 or so soaps from them, and I love them all. I really love the performance of the lather, and that it does an incredible job without lanolin which I try to avoid if possible. The scents are typically stout, manly, and they have incredible balms as well.
Submariner, Earl Grey & Ginger, Admiralty are my star performers and have great scent strength as well as slickness and cushion. I still think Reef Point might be underrated.
