    Default Chronic sinus issues - Looking for strongly scented soaps

    For the last twenty years I've suffered from bad sinuses. I've had surgery, prescription drugs, etc., etc. It's been lame.

    The good news is that my sinuses are not always bad. For example, right now they are great! But they won't stay that way.
    So, as much as I can smell my puck of DRH Windsor now, I'll need some back-up of strongly scented soaps for when things go south.

    I noticed from a previous thread that G.F. Trumpers might be an option.

    Anyone else have recommendations of soaps that really pack a nose wallop?
    Thanks!

    The only one that really pops to mind is tabac. I am sure there are others but right now that's all I can think of.

    I would get a few Arko sticks, melt them in a saucepan, and add essential oils until you can actually smell them. An affordable, reasonably performant alternative.

    My favorites when my sniffer works are Speick stick, St. Charles Pumpkin and their Coconut and Stirling Anise.

    Yes, i would also go along with Tabac and Arko. You might want to give Omega shave cream a try too. Omega is a croap, between cream and soap in consistency, and has a eucalyptus scent. Who knows the eucalyptus may even help with the sinuses.

    You might try the German Made Tremonia Scottish Scent. It's strong enough to wake the dead.

    Try some Yeti Snot........strong scented peppermint and menthol, it will open those sinuses up! If not strong enough straight from the can, try heating some up in a scuttle as heating up Yeti Snot really enhances the scent.........very unique experience!

    Bob said 'croap.'
    Consider Valobra, sort of a semi-croap.
