Your Top 3 New 2016 scents

Eufros Tallow Fougere
Tallow + Steel Dark
Cold River Soap Works Jardin D'Orange

If the last one is disqualify... then

Sapone di Paolo Arrancione

After smelling B&M Hallow, it's on the list.
Surprised I get a Fougére scent from it.
Did I receive a dud ?
Smells like one of Will's great Fougére scented soaps to me with added vetiver

Yes, it has vetiver and oakmoss 2 of the main components found in Fougeres. See below:
"inspiration from the swamps of Boston, we combined vetiver, oakmoss, black pepper, cocoa, labdanum, and cedar to produce a deep, cold scent suited to the chilly, bitter days of late October. Gloomy, rich, and perversely elegant, Hallows is a reminder of why men once feared the dark."

For me Tallow & Steel take the prize. You can't go wrong with any of the scents. If forced to choose, I enjoy dark and rainforest slightly more than grog and classic.

I'm going to say the 2016 Chatillon Lux scents:
Yuzu Rose Patchouli
Fourth and Pine
Colonia Balsamica
Colbeck
Bon Vivant
Unconditional Surrender
Blackberry Blossom Bay

And also the Barrister and Mann 2016s
Passiflora
Night Music

I think that adds up to about 3...

For me I'd have to go with

Passiflora
Blackberry Blossom Bay
Stella Alpina

With a runner up to Night Music as well.

For me, my top 3 this year would be:

The Holy Black - The Galleon
I held off on this one until there were only 2 left and decided to pull the trigger based on the rave reviews it was getting. I'm glad I did. I love love love this scent. Not too aquatic and a nice bit of oak.

L&L Grooming - After the Rain
This was a blind buy for me and it was instantly one of my favorites. A sweet pine and lavender; I find myself opening it up just to smell it even if I'm not shaving or using the aftershave for no reason other than smells.

Chatillon Lux - Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
I initially avoided this one because the description didn't seem up my ally, but I'm a sucker for limited edition soaps so picked up the Tallow+Steel collab. I'm sorry hawns for doubting you. This is a simple, yet wonderful combination that has the citrus without being an overly sweet/candy type scent.

Tuna Vetiver
Steak Patchouli
Lemongrass Lasagne

I intend to get fat, but smell nice.  

Happy Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanza and New Year to all our traditional wetshaving brothers. May all of your weepers be tiny ones!

Barrister and Mann Leviathan (the new glissant version smells better to me)
Eufros (Jabonman) Tobacco
CRSW Select v2 Spiced Amber
