Portman Square Gin & Tonic: where else can I get this scent?

**Vlad** · 05-02-2012, 05:51 PM

It's an English style cream, with a gin and tonic scent...how perfect is that? I just got my jar in the mail today, and the scent is divine. Seriously, this is in my top three favorite scents ever. I was getting a dense, yogurty lather, it was face-lathering bliss

. And then it started burning. Nooooooooo! I've only had this reaction with one other product, Coates, probably because of the tea trea oil. What am I to do, guys? Anybody here tried this cream and know an alternative? Juniper and citrus? It's just so good.

I've been wondering about how this cream was since I like gin & tonic. Too bad it didn't work out for you. A good alternative would be let it go on BST to get a custom made cream from one of the vendors.

Isn't that the one that QCS made for Bullgoose?

I ordered a Juniper custom scent from QCS and it's wonderful. I'm sure it wouldn't take much more to turn it into a gin and tonic.

I believe that's correct.

I have a stick from QED called Bathtub Gin but I didn't care for the scent. Initially I thought it was too much citrus with almost no juniper. Used it once and tossed it in a drawer for 6 months. I just dug it out and took a whiff and it now smells more like furniture polish than gin.

That was the previous soap BullGoose sold, but not the English Style creams.

My bad, yes I remember now that Phil said the previous ones were made by Matt @ QCS.

Bullgoose. It's exclusive. It was on sale last I checked.

Ah crud! On sale, and out of stock!

Sadly, you are too late. These were discontinued (reason for the sale). You could ask Phil if there is any more on the way, but I doubt it. I ordered one of each of the English style creams, shipping here cost nearly as much as the creams. But I couldn't let these scents go unsmelled!

Lindy from Malaspina Soap Factory made the English Style creams for me. You could always PM or email her and see if she could make some for you.

Thank you! Vlad generously sold his tub to me since it didn't work out with his face, but I will certainly keep this in mind.

**BrentS** · 05-03-2012, 08:47 PM

I touched base with Lindalu and she is going to make the Gin & Tonic available on her website.

**Malaspina** · 05-03-2012, 08:54 PM

Hi guys. Thank you Phil for allowing me to step forward as the producer. I have listed all the fragrances on my store - thanks...

Cheers
Linda

**BullGoose** · 05-03-2012, 10:19 PM

You are very welcome Linda...it is my pleasure.

I finally got around to trying my sample from Bullgoose today and I got the the same burning sensation. Everything else about it was great, but man did it burn. It felt like I was shaving with an extreme version of Bengay. Oh well, ymmv.
