Voyager is fantastic, doesn't get enough love

Voyage is high on my scents to try, along with Angel and maybe Magnolia. So many scents... nothing from GD is exactly vanilla, is it?

Anyone want to swap a couple samples with me? I've got Wonderland, Flight, Chypre Conifere, After the Fire, Magnolia & Oud, Neroli di Bois and Conca d'Oro.

I'd be willing to swap samples with you if you were being serious. I can't PM you though, you need at least 15 posts...

Personal favourite is Chypre. That stated, plain vanilla scents would be welcome. Frankly prefer to use actual fragerance (EdT& perfumes) for scents and want preshaves, soaps, aftershaves&c to immediately fade away.

That perspective will undoubtedly make me popular here and elsewhere.

Well, I'm with you actually. I do love Chypre (shaved with it today!), but some of my favorite scents are very simple:

Sudsy Soapery Peppermint & Lavender
Mike's Orange Cedarwood & Black Pepper
Barrister & Mann Taiga

Maill Call today !!

Have those; pref is yuzu then conc

I used “After The Fire” today for the first time, and I loved it! I’m not too big on Smokey scents, but I purchased this one because everyone said that it was a Barbershop scent. When I first opened the tub all I could smell was smoke. I began to lather and this Soap made an amazing transformation! To me it smells like a woody Barbershop scent, and after lathering the smoke was in the background. To my uneducated nose I could smell a little powder and what seemed like Juniper. A beautiful scent, and the performance is top notch! Finished off the Shave with Chatillon Lux “Clamorgan” for an excellent finish!

GroomingDept what is the shelf life of your soap? Any suggestions for storage if a tub won’t be used for 6+ months or longer?

Hi Marcos

I have jars that are several months old and all seem to lather, smell and look fantastically. If I were going to store a Grooming Dept soap for 6+ months: I would let the soap dry uncovered for at least a week before storage. On a side note, I personally have soaps from various brands drying out for 10 days at a time before covering.
