Tobacco Road Shaving Soap - Ultima 2
Tobacco Road is warm, inviting, masculine and complex—the kind of scent you’ll enjoy catching on yourself throughout the day and well into the evening.
At the heart of the fragrance is real tobacco absolute, giving the tobacco a rich, nuanced warmth with a natural touch of sweetness. I paired it with a beautiful honey note that I previously used when creating Ouddiction, along with bay leaf, a touch of smoke and a deep amber base.
For the first time, I’m also using Hinoki, or Japanese Cypress. Hinoki has a dry, woody character with subtle herbal and slightly lemony undertones. It’s very understated here, but adds another layer of complexity to the composition.
Tobacco Road also marks the debut of Ultima 2, our latest shaving soap formulation. It’s incredibly rich and luxurious, yet I find it easier to lather and less water-hungry than the previous formulation. Most importantly, I believe Ultima 2 sets a new standard for post-shave feel.
Notes: Hinoki • Honey • Bay Leaf • Tobacco • Smoke • Amber

Tobacco is one of my favorite scent profiles and this one is a banger!! Not too sweet, well balanced, great tobacco and leather scent. The Ultima Base is as always just amazing. Creamy lather, great performance the splash and EDP are simply fantastic. Do not pass this one up if you remotely like tobacco scent profiles.
Absolutely rich, warm, and masculine tobacco scent. Even for someone like me that does not partake in tobacco products, I very much enjoy it.
Who is that mysterious and seductive smelling man. Its me!!!
My last sandalwood shave soap puck dried out my face. This stuff is like butter, leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth all day long. The aroma is perfect for fall/winter, warm notes of amber, vanilla, and tonka bean when lathering. The after scent, post shave, leaves a subtle pipe tobacco and whisky scent reminiscent of Frog Morton’s Cellar (for those of you who know). At 2-3 shaves a week this should last me quite a while. Looking forward to trying other scents.
Well the smell is amazing the feel on my face is wonderful and gives a great shave
I’ve used Proraso forever, and wanted to try something new. So, after doing some reading, and checking out The Sharpologist, I decided on A&E Tobacco Road Ultima 2. AMAZING! Best shave ever! After shaving, my skin felt great all day, and the scent was outstanding.
Best Tobacco scent out there, and in a superior soap! I would highly recommend. Pipe Tobacco forward.Longer lasting. AE used to make a bar soap version of it. Would love to see that come back!
This Tobacco soap scent is so damn good! Great foam and it leaves your skin smooth and smelling fantastic. Love Ariana Evans products!
Great lather. Great scent. Overall amazing.
Very good feel and smell. I would buy it again!
Such a Great product and the scent is of a high quality. This is not your usual tobacco fragrance but something unexpected and very nice!👍👍
Wonderful lasting aroma with great skin conditioning.
You know you have a great shave soap when your wife wants you to smell like the soap! The scent is just strong enough to leave you smelling like the soap itself! Another great add on to the collection of rotations!
The soap was dark. Rich. Smoky. Just like the dame who left me with a half-shaved face and a broken heart. Tobacco Road didnt just clean meit reminded me that comfort could still come in three passes and a splash of danger. I stared into the mirror and didnt recognize the man but damn, he smelled good.
Super lather!! Very good slickness and cushion. Fragrance lasted all day.
Now, the supposed name of the fragrance did not even come close to the smell of tobacco. Was it just an artistic name?
For lovers of rich, warm, and masculine scents, this is pure perfection! The tobacco-forward scent is bold yet refined, with hints of leather and spice. The lather is ultra-slick, making for an effortless shave. The post-shave feel is smooth, soft, and hydratedone of my all-time favorites!
This is one of the most interesting tobacco scents i've put my nose on. its a sweet but yet extremely masculine dry down! no wonder this is also made in the A&E bar soaps (i need to buy a few). my wife told me this is one of her favorite tobaccos scents i own.
My all time favorite A&E scent. This is a sweet tobacco that smells like the best of pipe and cigar tobacco. Sweet, dark, masculine. I love this scent in the winter. Don't neglect to get the aftershave, and if you can find it, the spray cologne. If the soap ever comes back in stock get it as well. This is the best tobacco scent I've smelled across several shave soaps I have tried.
this is my favorite tobacco scent. better than vanille de tabac. This is stronger from the container and more tobacco to me. Very masculine
