Best Smelling U.K. Soap

Thumbs up with Nanny's Silly Soap Down Home Summer tallowated. I match it with Eau Savage Perfum or Encre Noire. It is a wonderful Vetiver scent. I have the red tin jar. I guess if Alchemist keep the mix of essences or if it has changed along with the jar (now is bigger and plastic).

I am venturing a guess based on the prior posts of some of these as they appear under 40 IMO. I could be wrong, but the under 50ish crowd has generally not been exposed to real He Man, ripsnortin', powerhouse male frags of the past.

Such as the 70s and 80s powerhouse frags? Caron, Azzaro PH, Quorum, Smalto PH, Polo green, Rive Gauche und so weiter? I think many of us have (- just threw myself into one of the brackets there). I'm even using them this day and age :D
 
Wickhams 1912 classic 23 for me but I'm a sucker for an aventus clone ! Also club cola is amazing . And they also do a Parma violets scent aswell which is a spot on match .

Wickham Club Cola. Performance wins out over scent for me. This has it all though, and I'm getting through it at an alarming rate. Reinforcements of Magnum have arrived today courtesy of the group buy, and I have to say it smells really good too.

what is THE best smelling of all current U.K. production soaps? Refrain from torturing me by mentioning some "unobtainium" soap like Yardley, vintage Culwak etc. The key is in production as of today.
Just one, please. ;)

Ok, just because I like you,

Now my experience with UK soaps is only 8-10 or maybe a few more but nothing extravagant. Can't recall anything especially standing out in the huffing department, although plenty with pleasant enough frags and very good performance to be sure. Actually one Limey version does come to mind.

Czech & Speake soaps are made with plenty of their expensive EdT juice jammed into the puck. Some of the more popular scents are available and you can read about em if you like. I have experience only with the #88 shaving soap concoction, although huffed some other different EdT samples. Got a kinda dirty Gothic rose thing going on. Strangely haunting....heh.

This stuff is a triple mill so it lasts a good while but it's still expensive initially. Performance is top tier regarding overall performance......won't find a better one.

BUT, you gotta like the EdT versions or else. These smell stronger than usual, which can be great....or not.

Certainly worth 'checking' out thet thar company's stuff. Maybe write for some samples, which I did years ago with excellent luck.
