Has anyone tried it? If so is the frankincense obviously there in the fragrance?

Absolutely mate, it's relaxing, calming and intoxicating

I've got it but I'm not really getting the frankincense at all sadly just a general smell a bit like the imperial leather. The Classic 24 on the other hand is great with a nice Aventus smell.

Relaxing, calming and intoxicating that's good enough for me....just ordered one

I may order some too when I order my new razor, etc.

Perhaps try a sample as not to write it off, people's noses detect differently, shave dash can sort you a small sample

I've got it en route. The waiting game is horrible.

But the soap is divine.

Aware that I'm a little late to this however I think it's fantastic stuff. The smell is strong enough but not too strong, and so clean. Really impressed with it and the 1912 range

1912 Frankincense is one of my favourites the scents intoxicating and reminds me of crabtree and evelyn Nomad , it's a great scent and obviously the performance is spot on like all of the Wickhams soaps [emoji108].

What frankincense based cologne or parfum would you compare the 1912 frankincense soap to, out of curiosity?

D_SM · Wednesday January 25, 2017

I haven been procrastinating about this scent and may just have to buy it!

I have the classic 24 and it is fantastic!

Eagle · Thursday January 26, 2017

I have no doubt these soaps are great. I used my sample of the Classic 24 again today and it really is great.

Just wondering though why there are so many of the 1912 range on the BST right now. I haven't seen anyone with the Classic 24 or Frankincense scents listed but it does seem a lot of the other ones are being moved on.

What am I missing? Is there something not good about the other scents?

I have Most of the 1912 range performance is great on all of them. I think it Comes down to personal preference on scents not everyone is going to like the same ones.

I've been selling a few tubs of Wickham 1912 recently. This is because I'm branching out with different soaps yet trying to keep a limit on the overall number. Hence I've been letting go of scents that I don't love. Using 1912 as an example, I'm ambivalent about Frankincense and Irish Fern but you would need to pry Russian Leather and Club Cola from my cold, dead fingers. In short, Wickham 1912 is still very much in my Top Tier of shaving soaps!

Ok interesting thoughts I guess.

I've been there before. Got too many things stocked up and just ended up buying too many.

Am I right in thinking the scents match up to quite a few famous and much-loved scents over time?

Classic 24 = Aventus
Irish Fern = Green Irish Tweed?
Russian Leather = Imperial Leather, etc

Not sure if I've missed any?
