walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 year agoHave you tried Valley of Ashes? Gearhead is a less sweet, less cloying, more serious smelling version of VoA to me. My vote is non-meme, same as Stag is non-meme. Stag is arguably better, but they’re different enough that I should own both (I only own Gearhead and have a sample of Stag).

Valley of Ashes smells very serious to me, and not cloying at all. To me, VoA smells like a leather seat in a library where smoking was allowed.

Yeah, maybe cloying isn’t the right word. There’s a subtle sweetness to it which is nice, but I prefer the non-sweetness of Gearhead.

I had heard that Gearhead smells like WD40, so your comparison took me by surprise 😅
