Zingari Man - Scent Recommendations?

I quite like the ZingariMan Sego base.  It checks most of my boxes.

I have No.1 and The Gatherer.  What are your recommended scents and why do you like them?

The rambler soap and splash are fantastic.

The magician soap smells good, but the splash smells musty.

I have Magician with a wonderful combination of oakmoss, orange blossom and fern.

No. 1 is a sophisticated combination of Turkish Rose, Vanilla, Oud, Bulgarian Rose, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber. It will add some class to your shave.

The Soloist is a West Coast Shaving exclusive scent. It combines vetiver, lemon, peppercorn, vanilla, tobacco leaf, neroli, rum, styrax, and clary sage. I like it OK, but I like the first two better.

I have a tub of Wanderer which is a barbershop type scent. Unfortunately, it does not work for me. The scent contains Bergamot, Citrus, Oakmoss, Basil, and Patchouli. The soap irritates my face. I suspect there are some notes in the citrus accord to which I am sensitive. My skin does not tolerate lemon, lime or grapefruit.

My faves are No1, Explorer, and Wanderer.

I have the Soloist and Magician. Both scents are really nice, of the two I prefer The Magician but do not own the splash just the balm.

I'm also thinking about trading for #1 from a fellow forum member.

I wish I could provide more to you than my two favorites: Explorer and Magician.

I am terrible at describing scents though. I will say these are two of my favorite scents in the hobby right now. Explorer is a clean, woody scent? Apparently it mimics a cologne but I do not find it too strong. Magician is just outstanding, very unique orange/fern/oakmoss scent. But its not a barber shop, however its clean too? I'm terrible. I'd say buy some samples from Maggard, this is what I did and I ended up with a handful of Zingari Man soaps after that.

I really like Nomad. I'm not good at descriptions of scents, but I think it's a masculine, clean scent.

I liked nomad too but my complaint was it needed more scent strength. Nomad is a bay rum it actually reminds me of my favorite by rum Mystic Waters but I felt like it needed more stoutness.

Thank you for this.  I now know to avoid Nomad/.  My skin doesn't like Bay Rum.  Too often it has clove in it.

I have the balm and find it a little too strong.

I have The Socialite soap and love it. In fact, I just used it today. It really does smell like gin with lime. Not boozy, though. I'll be aiming to try the balm and splash at some point in the near future.
