What season is Trismegistus suited to? I originally thought autumn or winter, but then sometimes I think more summer. What do you think works best having paired with a very summery aftershave?

I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to scents/seasons and decided on this soap as its a great performer and has a pleasant scent. I was originally thinking to pair it with some Old Spice but went with Bombora as its not too over powering, although more a summery scent. Not ideal but still happy with the result plus the weathers warming up nicely so why not :)

@revhed brought some along to Darwin meetup for show and smell. Divine scent (Must Have). I would have thought Autumnal as well.
