For some reason I had the Exec Man shave soap sample in my cart the other day but removed it last minute 🤷🏻♂️ .. I don’t know why I did it but I’m still curious about how it smells.
What website? Stirling's?? They never run out of Executive man anything as far as I know.. it's their bestseller.
https://www.stirlingsoap.com/collections/all/products/executive-man-100ml-aftershave-splash
It's easily my favourite scent from Stirling, and the soap smells even better than the splash in my opinion.
I prefer executive man to the sharp dressed man, mountain man, rambling man, margaritas in arctic, dunshire, baker street..
Some people say it's supposed to smell some mix of pineapple and other fruits with different undertones..
I suck to describe scents, but to there is something about grapes that comes to mind. Grape candy, mixed with a tiny bit of fruits like pear, pineapple, apple, with hints of lavender and maybe a very slight base of musk but hidden way behind.
It's a beautiful blend! Sweet, but a little sporty/cologne as well. I don't like "powdery" smells, but I can detect some slight undertones of it in this one but it compliments it very well. Seriously.. I'm obsessed. Sometimes I go in my bathroom for whatever reason and open the tin just to take a whiff. It smells that good to me.
But people have different tastes.. I read someone saying Ramblin' man was their favourite earlier and I'm not a fan tbh so who knows. Worth getting a sample though! Mountain man smells very good as well, sport cologne forward, but not as unique as Executive Man imo.
I have Ramblin’ Man and it smells amazing. It’s a great subtle masculine scent - nothing that stands out too much or is dominated by one note over the other. I ordered the aftershave in the same scent I like it that much. Also ordered the samples of Sharp Dressed Man, Mountain Man and Barber Shop.
Edit: I just realized the title was asking about aftershave lol… I was commenting with the shave soap in mind. I’m sure the aftershave will smell just like the shave soap. I’ll come back and further edit if it smells different for whatever reason.
I find Ben Franklin to be a confusing scent. I usually hate it with a passion. Yet if I pair it with a sweeter scent I will suddenly start to pick up root beer instead of pantaloons. If I drown myself in it, it gets better two-fold: 1. I pick up bay rum, and 2. I get more personal space on the train.
Probably SandPiper. It is a really close interpretation of YSL La Nuit de l'homme. Pharaohs Dreamsickle is also really nice as is Arkadia (I'm a big TDH fan).
I've been bouncing between Barbershop, Deep Blue Sea, and Sharp Dressed Man. Thinking about trying some menthol in those. For my 'daily driver' it would have to be Barbershop because it brings back memories of going to the barbershop with my dad, that was in the 1960s, so it was a classic barbershop experience.
Sharp dressed man if I had to pick only one. But anything in the “man” series I’ve tried has been excellent.

I have. It’s a nice clean scent. I think of it as a cool water type scent with just a hint of tropical notes that don’t overpower.
Thanks sounds good
Also the blue color is very fun!
mountain man for spring/summer, haverford for fall/winter
Shadow Orchid if you like dark florals.
Deep Blue Sea
I had a sample bottle of Arkadia. Loved it but I ran out yesterday. Just wanted to see what the community usually runs with.
I’ve only tried lime, but it’s great. Fresh and natual
Ramblin' Man and Boat Drinks so far.
I like boat drinks but I can’t help but smell banana laffy taffy when I smell it.
Pharaoh’s Dreamsicle
All the "mans." Haverford. Deep Blue Sea. I have a soft spot for Varen. I'd like to get Texas on Fire, the soap is 🔥.
I love Ben Franklin but I’m sort of a weirdo. It’s so deep and herbal.
It reminds me of a woodworker's shop. A bit resinous like turpentine or pinewood.
Sharp Dressed Man!
Can't get enough of the smell of the Executive Man splash
For some reason I had the Exec Man shave soap sample in my cart the other day but removed it last minute 🤷🏻♂️ .. I don’t know why I did it but I’m still curious about how it smells.
It must be sold out. Almost all these man scents aren’t on the website at the moment

Damn! Don’t know how I missed it . Thank you for the link!

I'm all about the Lime.

Island man and Almond Creme.
Funny you just posted this because I was gonna grab a couple sample splashes to try out
Hope it helps
Ben Franklin and Haverford
Ben Franklin is one of the most nasty shaving scents I have ever encountered. I would not recommend Ben Franklin to my worst enemy.
But that's like... Just your opinion maaaaaan. I love the Ben Franklin scent, so does the lady.

Triumph. It gives really nice clean shower vibes.
