[Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club] January 2026 Soap Nomination Thread

Abbate y La Mantia – Koké

A whole adventure is waiting for you.

TOP NOTES: Bergamot, Pimpinella, Rhubarb

HEART NOTES: Ginger, Animal Notes, White Pear

BASE NOTES: Vine Leaves, Tahitian Vanilla, Guaiac Wood

According to AYLM it is elegant, fresh, balsamic.

I described it as smelling like a wild animal in an abandoned garden. @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social's wife likened it to a rotten chewing gum.

Moon Soaps Union

Union Shaving Soap is a sharp, cooling, and pungent take on a classic American-style barbershop fragrance.  It's a step back into the 1950s when the hard work of a craftsman was not only common but appreciated.

Scent notes: Fresh Lemon, Soft Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Amber Musk, and subtle touch of Nutmeg.

There is menthol in this soap, but I would say it’s fairly mild compared to other cooled soap.

Chiseled Face – Gemütlichkeit

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and sugar roasted chestnuts served with a cup of steaming coffee. A warm, super gourmand scent perfect for cold winter evenings by the fire - or anytime you want to remember them.

Zingari Man - The Stargazer

Top Notes : Snowflakes, Cold Mountain Air
Heart Notes : Lily of the Valley, Evergreens, Earth
Base Notes : Dry Woods, Deer Musk, Mate, Amber

To me it smells like walking outside on a quite morning after a night of snowfall. It's very lightly scented.

Barrister and Mann - Spice

Notes: carnation, nutmeg, vanilla, and tonka bean.

Inspired by Old Spice, in a great base (Omnibus).
