The Fragrance that is similar to a shaving soap/cream thread

I want to start this thread.

If you have a fragrance, that you find is similar to a shaving soap/cream, then post it here.

Of course it's obvious, that we are not looking for fragrances and soaps/creams from the same line, as they of course are identical already.

We are looking for fragrances, that reminds the user of certain shaving soap/cream, or if you just think they would be a very good match.

Me first.

Caties Bubbles le Piment de la Vie shaving soap and Commes des Garçon Black fragrance.

I get the same vibe from these, and I definitely get black pepper and cinnamon from both.

I like the idea behind this thread.

Although they are definitely not the same scent, I find that there are some fairly strong similarities between Cold River Soap Works’ Puro Fresco and Calvin Klein’s ck one.

For me, a beautiful complementary pairing is Barrister & Mann Cheshire Shaving Soap and Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet EdT.

Houbigant's Fougère Royale > LASS Topanga Fougère's soap (fantastic replication)

Creed's GIT > WSP Formula T soap Gealic Tweed + AS splash Gaelic Tweed
Creed's GIT > Ginger's Garden Irish Tweed AS splash or AS Balm

All your inspiration is great.

Even if you don't feel they are exact clones or copies, but you feel they complement each other great, let's hear it !!

RazoRock XxX is a clone of Acqua di Parma Colonia

RazoRock The Freedberg is a clone a Creed Aventus

Keep them coming, guys and gals !

Claus, sometimes it's nice to have a complementary scent, as opposed to an exact match with a soap.  For me, a soap's scent does not really last past the shave itself.  While a matching EdT would be very nice with today's wonderful artisan soaps, it is usually an aftershave or nothing.  Here, again, I don't always find that aftershaves have a lot of longevity.  Therefore, when looking for an EdT, complementary scents will not only work but give a little sensory interest to the morning's shave.  For example, today I shaved with Barrister & Mann's DFS Limited Edition soap but finished with Dunhill EdT (the one in the brown box).  I think they work nicely together and there was just that little something extra when I was done.  At least that's what I find.

Lately I've been liking Stirling Autumn Glory soap followed by Barrister's Reserve Spice aftershave. I know it's not really a "fragrance" per se, but it has quite a bit of longevity for me. I suppose I could get some Old Spice cologne to boost the scent if I wanted to.

Mike's Natural Barbershop reminds me of Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger. Not exact, but to my nose very complimentary.
