PAA's stuff is more natural on the tones (even on their "tribute" scents). I don't detect overt chemical-like perfumey effects like I do at designer fragrance counters. I think it's his ingredients and old-school methods that make his creations seem to punch above their weight. I have to say that Doug Smythe has skill at making scents. Many of the ones I passed on however still seem like good scents, just not my taste. Like everyone so far has said, the number of scents they have seems like a lot and I too have found them "hit and miss". There are also "seasonal" scents that you may have to wait for to grab like Kiritimati (a very unique bay rum scent with Biblical Christmas notes and hardly smells like any bay rum and the aftershave includes real bay leaves inside the bottle marinating), maybe they will re-release Vetiver Planet using the same ingredients as their final batch they made (final batch was the best vetiver I ever smelled and apparently he sourced the ingredients from a different vendor for that batch), Et Tu (basically it's a Brut tribute but with more expensive ingredients than Faberge uses), Clown Fruit (Halloween season, smells like burnt sugar and a few other notes I can't place), and many more. along with Sage) and Big Shave East (Tobacco Flower/Frangipani/Apricot). I also seem to dig Solstice (smells like native desert plants in the Southwestern U.S. I think that Tombstone (Rose/Geranium/Saddle Leather/Gun Powder) and Dapper Doc's (Lilac/Fig) are growing on me over time. My favorites are Atomic Age Bay Rum (Rum/Kitchen Spice Rack/then aged in a whiskey barrel) and Sangre de Drago (Dragons Blood Resin/Oud/Sandalwood). It's good to know that there are other PAA fans besides the few I already knew about. PAA seems to be one of those artisans that can perform well if the soap is underhydrated, perfectly dialed in, or overhydrated with a thinner lather. I was still able to get a great shave with the product though. It is a rather thirsty base and I have underhydrated the lather a few times. I love a lot of Eric's work and have several that I'd recommend. PAA was my first artisan soap and CaD was the first scent I purchased. I own many PAA shave soaps, aftershave splashes and EDP's. They do have new releases throughout the year, so it is a constant adventure! Hope you have a great time going through the PAA line. I own several more, but these are the ones that come to the top of my mind when I think of the ones from PAA that I enjoy. I also own his Et Tu which is a tribute to original Brut and I really enjoy the aftershave splash. I can't comment on how close this smells to the original, but it's worth a sample. Diver Down: A tribute to original Seaforth Spiced. Lo Haiku: I also enjoy this tribute to original Hai Karate which I bought back in 1972 as a kid. This one smells great, but the pineapple burns off relatively quickly on my skin and becomes bay rum, so I just stick with Atomic Age Bay Rum or with Coconut Bay w/ Lime.ĩ. Pineapple Bay Rum: Another flanker to his wonderful Atomic Age Bay Rum. It's strong, so a little DAB "will" do ya for sure.Ĩ. Sounds weird, but I really like this one too. A tribute to the scent of original Brylcreem. Club Guy: A tribute to Pinaud's Clubman.but I prefer Club Guy personally.ħ. Atomic Pumpkin: Another flanker to his Atomic Bay Rum.
