It was originally a special order, but I liked the way it turned out so decided to make a batch for the winter.Right after you ship my package, I saw this... This makes me sad.
How will you compare it to sweet briar?

How does this compare with your Deluxe Shaving Cream "Tobacco Road?"(scent-wise)
Tobacco Road is a bit lighter and sweeter. The main notes are tobacco and vanilla.
Vintage DeLuxe is a more complex scent containing notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Bourbon, Leather, Pipe Tobacco and Cedarwood.
Both the cream and soap are tallow based.

Was just perusing Mystic's site and noticed a few new scents, including "Leather and Smoke". As if she did not have enough enticing scents..... Ordered.

I tried Mystic Water's Leather & Smoke shaving soap last night. This is one scent that I like a lot! It is definitely leather forward to me, but solidly supported by the Cuban pipe, Egyptian musk, and Lebanese cedarwood. Scent strength is medium. The scent is prominent without being overwhelming or over the top. My nose is not all that well trained and usually soaps just "smell good" or not, but this scent really clicked for me. I might have to use it again tonight!
I generally order the soap in the tub and then split the soap into the tub and half into a tube for a shave stick. I usually use the stick, but sometimes I like to load up the brush in the tub. So, that is the reason why I split these soaps. I enjoy several Mystic Water scents(and still have a pile of samples to go through), but I would say Leather & Smoke is right up close to Vetiver & Oakmoss or Vanilla Sandalwood for me. One shave so far with Leather & Smoke, so it's early in with such an approval rating.
The performance of this soap is the same great performance during the shave and outstanding post-shave feel that Mystic Water shaving soaps are known to produce
I followed the shave with vintage MEM English Leather. My lovely wife approved!
