Similar to B&M Seville…. But different?!

[CTP]

So…..

I’m only a few shaves away from finishing my favourite scent - Barrister & Mann Seville. I love the sweet citrus premium smell… without it smelling just like a citrus fruit (if that makes sense).

Any recommendations for somethings similar, but at the same time different?

345 Soap Co - Fresh Cut Fade

Both are barbershop scents, but are noticeably different to Seville, while retaining similar notes

+1 as CaD was one of the first soaps I tried and didn't mind the powdery scent as well as the vegan soap base which has since been improved on... If only the owner wasn't a weirdo!?!?

Squadrons are one of my favourite soap brands with wonderful and refreshing scents so here's hoping they can continue to trade and keep inventory as we can't afford to keep losing our local artisans!

Thankyou for all the advice and input folks

What happened with squadron soaps, I didn't know there were any issues?

B&M has a wonderful complex scent. Everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a Barbershop scent. I won't get involved in that debate other than to say Seville is very different from most of the powdery examples of a Barbershop scent. For a change, Piacenza may be worth considering as it has the citrus without that element being too forward although it doesn't have the earthiness of Seville because it lacks the oakmoss (but it does have musk).

I recall concerns a while back that they may have closed shop as it was becoming difficult sourcing the key ingredients to make soaps/splashes with limited stock available on the website or via Wetshaving Co...?

@SchoolForAnts hasn't been as active the last few years and as a small artisan brand its understandable that supply is limited but a quick search does show a few soaps still available which is great such as a personal favourite in Red Lead which is a great homage of Old Spice.

I might have to try Piacenza, but next on the list is British Leather.
