Ok I have a confession to make…I have been bribed. Last week both u/ironbeard_SYS and u/mammothBen were offering samples of their upcoming releases for the low low cost of just paying shipping. To rectify my sins, I am using both products today for their battle. Sorry Dennis, I didn’t make the rules about what counts for todays matchup, you should probably fire your bribery department chairman.
Both of these scents are incredible but I’ll start with Everett, as a father of 2 boys, I have been waiting for this since Ben announced it last year. Like usual, this is supporting an incredible cause, this one going towards helping young kids avoid the tragedy that Everett experienced. The notes include: Sunshine, Oranges, Marshmallow, Fresh Grass and right off the top i am immersed into the feeling of this soap. I get the feeling of eating marshmallows outside with the hint of citrus. Ben shared some of his thoughts on Discord about this scent:
“Formulation-wise, I explored a lot of directions, from something childlike/representative to something more "adult" with a few notes inspired by Everett's likes. I ended up with something that I think transcends either idea. It's something experiential, something that begins with a young boy eating orange slices on a sunny day and ends in the evening with the boy on your lap, head drooping, holding a halt-eaten s'more.”
The label for Everett really wraps up all of my Dad feelings in a nice bow and kicks my heart in the nards. Thank you Ben for making me feel things with soap.
Roman Spice is the next is the next revival of a vintage Seaforth scent done by u/hawns with notes: Grapefruit, Apple, Spring Water, Jasmine, Geranium, Frankincense, Beachwood & Spice.
I’ve only worn it a little while and am admittedly terrible with picking out scent notes. But it’s a little fruity and a little spicy with an almost cologne flair to it. I will be picking this up for sure when it comes out!
