    I never used Shire 1 either. I really like Shire 2, though. If I had one comment about it is that I wish the tobacco was more forward.

      I agree. I’m not sure why it stood out so much today compared to other times, but I feel like that just really elevated the entire scent.

        For me the tobacco is more recognizable in the soap than in the splash and I think that may have been intentional. I also think Ben wanted the scent to be a warm weather tobacco/grassy/fresh air scent and (perhaps) was careful with the balance of tobacco with other notes.

          Agreed. I find it to be a very pleasant warm weather scent. I get why Ben made that decision because the tobacco could easily overwhelm. Maybe Shire 3? Or maybe instead of tobacco he should use the scent of pipe-weed next time.

            pipe-weed next time.

            Of course the first Dr Jon’s dupe the community suggests would be Pan’s Pipe
