What soap/cream did you use today?

MacDuff's American Vintage (TRC)

Scent description please?

Have you ever played a guitar?  I suspect you have.  This scent is very woody but wood of a particular type--wood associated with the fabrication of a quality guitar.

It feels like I am surrounded by the aura of a vintage Gibson or an acoustic Martin guitar which makes perfect sense when you read the description:  

"American Vintage is primarily a tobacco scent that’s sweetened with the earthy rose-esque notes of rosewood and ho wood essential oils. The tobacco base is complimented with the richness of mahogany and leather with the earthiness of cedarwood and oakmoss.

American Vintage is my tribute to classic guitars and late night gigs. I started with scent notes that related to this theme: rosewood is the most common fret board material; guitars made with mahogany have a dark and rich tone (mirroring the scent itself); leather guitar straps for their durability and classic look; and tobacco for the ambiance of a late night club.

Notes: Tobacco, Rosewood, Leather, Mahogany, Lemongrass, Citrus, Ho Wood, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Spice"

I have had this tub 10 years, maybe longer. Used her twice before today. Man, didn't remember how much this is NOT a sandalwood. ?. However, it is fresh, clean and has a great cologne, spa-barbershop quality that I really enjoyed. A great summer cream. I hitched back and understand my scent interpretation. The melon and pineapple gave it the spa feel. Lavendar and bergamot the topnote barbershop feel. Soft base notes is fo'sho true.


T&H has always treated me well. My first done and dusted was an unscented T&H cream. I need to explore these guys more. Hope they didn't go the way of Trumper's and ruin their puck formulation.

Tommy, while I've heard the Apsley soap is good (different formula), the other scents all have the crappy formula like Trumper's.

Neroli, yes thanks for the heads up. Creams seem to dominate their current lineup. They had that tallowate thang going on. Remind me, what was the egregious order of shame of said ingredients?

General rule is if the first ingredient is SODIUM Palmate, it's garbage.

(Even though there have been a few exceptions.)

Maybe there’s no real rose in this fragrance, but I still find it a beautiful floral arrangement, fitting for a Thu•rose•day observance. Let me list all the good stuff Frank's put into this scent: immortelle, turmeric, bergamot, yuzu, cardamom, rose geranium, spikenard, labdanum, ylang ylang, champaca, and sandalwood. It reminds me of my wife’s yoga incense – spicy, floral, and rich with resins. It lingers in the air, turning my room into a serene, fragrant retreat.

First use of Noble Otter Jack today. Great scent and excellent performance as usual from NO.

I have a quick question for you all. Are there any soaps that get posted that you dislike so much that you just can't like the post?
