My first shave with this sample of Stirling Gentleman was very enjoyable. My wife liked the scent so much that she insisted I order the EdT for future use. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Overall a close and comfortable shave. For whatever reason, one of our cats yelled at me for the entire shave. Of course, as soon as I finished she settled down and slept. ๐Ÿ™„

Have a great one y'all! โœŒ๏ธ

Love when that happens! The scent notes sound interesting

I'm glad I picked up a sample and curious to see how the scent changes in the EdT.

It's a very warm-yet-subdued scent. I get a bit of tobacco and musk, maybe a hint of vanilla. Overall it feels well-balanced. Definitely more restrained than Haverford, if you're familiar with that scent.
