Shave Guinea pig…fun!

Nice picks ups from the shave shops. Which scent is Intrepid Man made after again?
Thanks Chris!

Not sure if it’s an homage to anything. Here is the description.

It is lighter than I would like, but still smells good. My wife said I need to try Deep Blue Sea next.
 
It’s based off of Creed Original Santal (which Ironically isn’t the original - if you have smelled Mont Blanc Individuel - same scent - there‘s a little history behind Creed and the Perfumer for Mont Blanc Individuel which is a fascinating story in itself)…….but back to the soap - Rod had purchased Original Santal and liked it so Made the homage.

Nice! I didn’t know that, thanks Brian!
