Yes, Claus, the 2016 iteration, released in late September 2016, is in the glissant base. It's my favorite scent: Coffee, Sandalwood, Leather, great for winter. I used the heck out of it, as you can see...

L&L Darkfall
Wickham 1912
PAA Honeysuckle

That's a tough one. My favorite scents change often and I grow tired of many scents after a few months. My favorite scent for the year though is probably Nuavia Rossa, however I don't use it as often as B&M and PAA.B&M Leviathan and SV Cosmo are right behind Rossa.

This has been on my radar for a while.

The revelation soaps for me in 2016 were:

1) Savon Des Volcans Menthe Stick

I read about this on Bullgoose's site and wanted to try a soap with donkey milk. I bought it used from another shaver with low expectations. But the performance was instantly and unmistakably top notch. A very nice natural scent if you like mint.

2) L&L Grooming

I didn't really want to try another US Artisan as I have been more than happy with B&M, Mike's, MW and Stirling. But I was intrigued by the Bison Tallow, botanicals, and the incredible shiny lather I saw in pics. I got a tub of Trismegistus and I was not disappointed. While I find the scent to be a bit strong and artificial, the quality of the soap base is undeniable. One of the best. I have a tub of the Chatillon Lux fougere on the way and hoping I will like it.
