I received this smush of Raconteur from u/_walden_. He sent it to me, and to others, for use in our May 21 Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club (BVWSC) shave. The BVWSC has been a lot of fun and a great way for us all to share our soap collections. I really like the Raconteur fragrance. This would be a good one for someone to “reinvent”.

As for a scent I’d like made (besides Raconteur). I’d like a “Boat Drinks” scent that captures my experience of that event. Stirling’s Boat Drinks, while a very enjoyable scent, is a complete miss for me. I was almost born on a sailboat and have sailed, on and off, for most of my life. This has all been salt water sailing; either on the Chesapeake Bay or from ports along the east coast of the US. My memories of cocktails after the end of a long day sailing (boat drinks) contain a vastly different mix of scents than those captured in Stirling’s effort.
