The tough part of gourmands is that they generally smell like things that you like, but do you want to smell like those things. Especially when they are kind of sweet. I love the scent and bought the set. The kicker was my family all thought it rocked. Enjoy the weekend.
@@stevem1563 morning Steve! Couldn't agree more, my girls love gourmands but I asked them last weekend "if a man (me) should smell like these things". The answer was no, the conversation led to candles and those type of things. I definitely use them, my reservation with Gourmands is the "wearability" of them and then on what occasions. I'm reviewing Carter today for Strike Gold, essentially it's a Peanut Chocolate gourmand. So the topic of Gourmands has come up a few times this week in the house. Have a good one Steve!
That's a good woman to have, I learned the hard way to wait for Tobin's reviews. Bought a set once and two days later he did his video. From the way Tobin described it I knew I wouldn't like it, and I didn't 😅
i agree! she absolutely loves briar which kind of has a mapply scent to it, so when i told her the new set was maple forward (based on the notes) the deal was done. 😂
Amazing review Tobin, transparency is lacking from most of UA-cam and media in general today. Its always refreshing to hear/see your reviews. Thank you!
Loved the intro graphic -- and the spot about the "The Love Scale" was a great touch. Your description really helped me get a sense of what to expect, which I genuinely appreciate, especially with complex scents like this one. But what I appreciate the most is your honesty. It's refreshing to see a reviewer who's straightforward about the strengths and any quirks of a fragrance. Thanks for such an honest and helpful review -- this video was a "home run" for a Cleveland Indians fan!
Thanks Robert! Lol glad you enjoyed the. "Love Scale" I felt a little self conscious about it when I watched it lol. I try to be as honest as possible while also being respectful to the company that made it due to the fact that most are American small businesses. It's a delicate balance. But at the end of the day I want to create a review that best informs. Go Tribe! 😉🙏
You are correct, Tobin. It is due to the vanilla and how exposure to oxygen causes it to oxidising. For anybody who is concerned by that, this is not a flaw or anything that negatively affects the scent or soap.
Nice! It's close to a direct hit for me, but they went the Chai direction and not the Thai. Thai has cardamon and star anise, with some other spices and I love Thai Tea. I'm sure I'd like this one too and I have to say that some awesome scents have come from the advent calendar. It makes me wonder what new scents they will be test running in the calendar this year. I hear you and I could go on a rant myself today-lol! I tire of all the fussy baby things that we have to endure these days! Hahaha! Have a great weekend brother!
Great review. For me with most gourmand scents I find them more enjoyable during the shave or if I’m just going to bed afterwards I’ll apply the matching aftershave otherwise I’ll apply something else I enjoy to smell for the rest of the day.
Thanks Manny! I like that approach, I do something kind of similar or the same thing. When I know I'll be hanging out at home with the girls I'll use them I don't think I've ever used a Gorman soap though and then tried something else on top I'll have to give that a go. Have a good one Manny!
Love this from the Advent Calander and order it right away. Also ordered deodorant shampoo and star jelly. Also ordered ESP. Hoping for Comet Bon Bon and Atomic Apple Pecan Pie to be released. Have a fantastic weekend. 👍
Interesting, intriguing, but you didn't say, " a must have"..... so maybe I will start with a sample😂. When is your next outdoor shave? Also I agree with what you said at the end
Thanks John! Im glad I caught myself lol. A guy on FB had thrown a dig at my Dodger hat from my last video and me "all of a sudden being a LA fan" insinuating that I was on the bandwagon, it popped into my mind when I was wrapping up the video lol Just because I wear a teams hat doesn't necessarily mean or not mean I'm a fan of that team 😉 sometimes it's just "political motivation". Have a good one!
Great review, love your honesty and transparency! 🙏
100%
Thanks brother!

Amazing review Tobin, transparency is lacking from most of UA-cam and media in general today. Its always refreshing to hear/see your reviews.
Thank you!
Thanks Theo, I agree. The media as a whole lacks it
Digging the shirt! Danaid is 🔥
One of my favorites! Best TF leather type fragrance!

Thanks for the review Tobin. Im lovin' all the scent drops coming out this Fall. So much good stuff to choose from!
Thanks Jeff! So many good ones again this year!
Ok, you twisted my arm😅 ordering it. Cant wait for Cosmic Cookies!
😅 let me know what you think
Good LORD! This one sounds absolutely my jam. What a wonderful sounding scent❤
It's delicious!
Nicely done young man, we appreciate your indepth reviews
Thank you sir!
What a great scent!
Is your review up, I haven't looked. I meant to text you yesterday!
@ yes it was a what in the world it’s Friday video 😄
Cosmic Christmas Cookies EDP!!!
We need that so bad this year!!!

100% I like it, I think it's cool 😊 Carter is the same way. Reviewing that next
Have a good one brother!
@Tobins_throwbacks you to, my squirrely friend
Excellent review Tobin!

@@williammurphy1756 it's a good one! Comet Bon Bon and Apple Pecan are both worth a release as well in my book. Have a good weekend William
Do you know if Danaid Foil 50 will return?
Not sure, I'd say theres a 50/50 chance😊
Interesting, intriguing, but you didn't say, " a must have"..... so maybe I will start with a sample😂. When is your next outdoor shave? Also I agree with what you said at the end
Lol I'd say it's a must have for those that love gourmands.
I'm hoping to get out there tomorrow.
Thanks Nathan!
I forgot to say, im now heading to the kitchen for a snack 😅
😅😋
❤❤❤
@@RobertsClassicShave 😍
Sounds like a nice fragrance but I’m gonna hold out for cosmic cookies, if I do another gourmand. Thanks for another thorough review!
You and your girls will LOVE CCC!
Get a Red Skins hat, Tobin!
I love you thinking! 😅😆😁
Appreciate you keeping it real! Love the dig at the woke! 😂
Thanks John!
