BarberDave's Shaves & Such

I’ve always been an acqua di Parma fan, but the sillage isn’t very good. I like citrus fragrances, and I really like anything with pine in it. ( Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet). I can’t decide between the 70th anniversary or the Cubebe as my next SV scent. Would you say the Cubebe has better sillage ? I placed an order for the desert vetiver , and came with a free bar of the 70 th anniversary bath soap,And it seems like a very light fragrance. The notes of lemon and fir in the Cubebe sound like something I’d really like.. I’m really enjoying the SV shaving soap, and I like using the matching aftershave and edt as well. Hope all is well in Arizona, it’s dark and cold here in Michigan. I really enjoy your YouTube videos, I’m learning quite a bit

Citrusy, balsamic and aromatic top note of bergamot, lemon, white fir. A slightly floral body note with spicy hints of pepper and nutmeg. Woody, musky and slightly amber background note of patchouly, vetiver, labdanum and benzoin.

Over the summer I was able to try all the soaps and almost all of the aftershaves thanks to BarberDave. I put my thoughts into this thread:

Thread 'Saponificio Varesino - All the Samples'

Just one man’s thoughts, but you can compare my take on the soaps with the stuff you’ve already tried and go from there if you like.

What’s your favorite? As much as I like the the 70 thanniversary, It seems like a very light fragrance. Since it’s EDP concentration, I think it should stick around for a while

The three sets I bought after trying them all are:
Desert Vetiver
Mirto de Sardegna
Tundra Artica

All different and interesting in their own ways.

(Sorry for temporarily taking over your thread @BarberDave )
