Which Mister1920 Scent Is Right for You?
There's no universal best scent. The right bar depends on whether you naturally gravitate toward fresh, woodsy, warm or bolder fragrances.
Cold Spring
Cold Spring is the place to start if you normally gravitate toward crisp, aquatic and clean men's grooming scents. It's the fresh side of the Mister1920 lineup rather than the darker wood, bourbon and spice territory found elsewhere in the collection.
Choose Cold Spring if: you usually buy products described as fresh, clean, aquatic or crisp.
Bourbon Barrel
Bourbon Barrel moves toward warm, rich and woody fragrance territory, inspired by aged bourbon and oak. It's a natural starting point for someone who likes deeper scents rather than bright, conventionally fresh grooming products.
Choose Bourbon Barrel if: bourbon-inspired aromas, oak, warm woods and richer masculine fragrances sound like your kind of thing.
Wanted Outlaw
Wanted Outlaw sits on the bolder, more cologne-inspired side of the lineup. It's for guys who want their shower to have more fragrance character than a generic clean bar.
Choose Wanted Outlaw if: you prefer deeper masculine grooming fragrances and want something with a rugged personality.
Pine Forest
Pine Forest heads directly into evergreen and outdoors-inspired territory. If the smell of pine and forest-inspired fragrances is more appealing to you than sweet or aquatic scents, this is the obvious place to start.
Choose Pine Forest if: you like pine, evergreen, woodsy fragrances and a more outdoorsy shower.
Mountain Spice
Mountain Spice moves into warmer aromatic territory. It combines the character of a woodsy fragrance with the depth of warm spice, making it a good option when fresh or aquatic scents feel too light.
Choose Mountain Spice if: you like warm spice, outdoors-inspired fragrances and richer scent profiles.
Sandalwood Vanilla
Sandalwood Vanilla takes vanilla in a warmer, more grounded direction. Pairing vanilla with sandalwood moves the fragrance away from dessert-like sweetness and toward a smoother woodsy profile.
Choose Sandalwood Vanilla if: you want something warm and smooth without moving all the way into a heavy spicy scent.
Black Soap
Black Soap belongs on the darker side of the Mister1920 lineup. It's a better direction for someone drawn to deeper fragrance profiles than bright or aquatic scents.
Choose Black Soap if: darker, woodsy fragrance territory is more your style.
Still Not Sure? Start With What You Already Like
You probably know more about your scent preferences than you think. Look at the words used to describe the cologne, deodorant, body wash or candles you already buy.
If You Buy "Fresh" or "Aqua"
Start with Cold Spring.
If You Buy Pine or Evergreen
Start with Pine Forest.
If You Like Bourbon & Oak
Start with Bourbon Barrel.
If You Like Warm Cologne-Style Scents
Explore Wanted Outlaw, Mountain Spice or Sandalwood Vanilla.
The Soap Behind the Fragrance
Scent gets most of the attention, but Mister1920 is still real bar soap first.
Our soaps are handmade in North Carolina using a modified cold-process method rooted in traditional soap making. Rather than high-volume plastic block molds, our soap makers use old-world wooden molds that give each batch its own character.
Every bar starts with quality vegetable oils and butters, including ingredients such as olive oil, organic sustainable palm oil, coconut oil and shea butter. Depending on the scent, a bar may also include cosmetic-grade fragrance oils, essential oils, clays, botanicals or natural exfoliants.
The result is a substantial 5 oz bar made without synthetic detergents such as SLS and SLES, and without another plastic body-wash bottle.
Long-Lasting Bar Guarantee
Our bars are built to last. We guarantee at least 15 showers per bar when allowed to dry between uses. If yours doesn't make it, we'll refund it.
Bar life varies with shower frequency, water exposure and storage. Keeping your soap out of standing water and allowing it to dry thoroughly between showers can make a major difference in how long it lasts.
