Thanked: 1Changing Scents with the Seasons
After labor day I cant help but feeling like summer is "over", adding to this feeling is the presence of fall seasonal beers in the stores (my other hobby).
With that said, I was wondering if the members of the SRP community change scents with the seasons? - If thats the case what are some favorites and recommendations as we gear up for the cold weather?
- Lastly Its still in the mid-80s where I live and am full aware I am getting ahead of my self... but hey, why not have another reason to buy more shaving supplies, right?

I do tend to change up my shave soaps according to the seasons to a certain degree. During the warmer months, i gravitate more towards florals, citrus and menthol. During cooler months, i use more earthy, spicy or incense type scents. That being said, I'll use whatever is in my shave arsenal on a whim, no matter the season.

I use all sorts year round but prefer things like florals and menthol in summer same as Thesus. Tabac and similar get a rest in the warmer months but will be back with a vengance now it's cooling off.

I do change.
MWF, Tabac, etc. along with Pinaud Clubman or Special Reserve in fall and winter. Proraso with some lime scents in spring and summer.

Me too.
Can't use Tabac or heavier scents in the summer so that's for Trumper's Rose SS MdC I can use all year round, as I can Creed Original Vetiver or Palmolive Shave Stick. But in extreme heat, it's always Trumper's Rose.

Thanked: 146Pretty much what everyone here says. I like Proraso or something menthol or citrus when it's warm, MNS Lemongrass Eucalyptus, or the Orange Cedarwood Black Pepper. For the fall and winter, Salter French Vetiver, MWF, Tabac.

Thanked: 12I like CO Bigelow (proraso), DR Harris Arlington, Trumpers Coconut during warm months. Mama Bears has a great selection of seasonal scents, like Toasted Coconut or Polynesian Red for summer. Also a great selection of Autumn and Holiday scents. I love the Spiced Apple Cider and Sleigh Ride. Check them out on her website.
