Hi, can anyone recommend an alternative soap bar to smell like the classic brut 33 ?
Thanks

Brut 33 fragrance

If you're not able to find a fragrance oil that replicates it, basenotes have a breakdown of the scents used - Brut - Brut Special Reserve cologne
It's not the 33, but the special reserve. Was the only option that they had there

Great thank you for that. Wish I could easily get hold of the soap though, no one seems to replicate it 
I think if I offered people a soap and said "I added some essence of man in to it" they might get the wrong idea!
Having a quick search on the internet for "brut fragrance oil " I see a few matches of possible suppliers. If you don't make soap, you may be able to comission someone to make it.
OR - make it yourself! Making soap is not as difficult as you might think, nor do you need special equipment in many cases. Basic recipe of
50% lard
25% coconut oil
20% high oleic sunflower oil
5% castor oil (or drop this oil and add the 5% on the the sunflower oil)
There are some great guides out there for making soap. I think that my guide for what equipment you need should still be somewhere on this site. I don't have a video on my YouTube channel of actually making soap as yet (need to get on that sooner rather than later) but there are a lot of good ones for getting started such as soapmaking 101

If you need a Brut dupe, Save on Scents has it. I've used the "extreme" concentration and it accelerates like crazy but it is doable. The scent held well for me and smelled pretty spot on to my nose.

Unfortunately, it depends... there's no "one size fits all" fragrance rate. This is normally determined by Trial & Error.

I agree. You might want to start a new thread "UK Members - HELP" or something similar, then post a link back to this thread. Good luck!
We do have some fabulous UK soapers here. Failing that, depending on how badly you want it I could look at it and you pay the postage from here (Austria)
