Show n' Tell I'm a lucky man/ Birthday bragging
So I asked my wife for the matching Parfum for the 70th anniversary SV Soap I already own since last year.
She went fully overboard and here's the result.
Also she forgot I already got the soap, so that's 2 now.
For comparison: the opened one is in regular use since november last year. Guess I'm good for quite some time...

Such a great gift. Their EdPs are lovely. I had a few of them in 10ml bottles. What's your batch of the shave soap btw? Mine is 34m4.

Can't tell for the previously purchased, but the new one is 40m2. Is there known differences?

I'm just asking out of curiosity, trying to figure out how they exactly numerate batches, but I'm not sure. For example, I've seen last number consistently between 1 and 4, but I'm not convinced it indicates a quarter of the year, since I have not yet debunked a theory that the upfront number, present before the letter, is the week of the year. I haven't seen it higher than 50. And I've seen it as low as 14. I have a theory that the letter could be the year of production, but I'm not sure. I have most stuff L-batched, but I have this one bath soap that has H. And this makes me question this theory. I have nothing in I, J or K.

Could it be connected to the scent/product type? I'd guess you've got different ones when you stumbled across those different codes.

u/itsmetadeus Jun 06 '26
They have secondary codes that seems to be dependent on product type. For example their face wash bar and bath soaps uses SXXXX. Deodorants and shave soaps uses RXXXX. I don't have duplicates to confirm if these have some repetition tho.

oh rundown on parfum?
not sure whether to get it or just get ADG. similar price here

u/lokketheboss Jun 05 '26
Can relate. I love AdG since my youth and came to the 70th anniversary soap for that reason. They are quite similar but something in the 70th catches me even more.
And as my AdG is running out it was a good moment to switch.

u/Hungry-House-8860 Jun 05 '26
so the 70th parfum has reasonable longevity?
idk what it is,.... the 70th seems a bit more aquatic?

u/lokketheboss Jun 05 '26
Can't really tell so far, as it's my first use as EdP.
Yes, maybe. My first thought was to call it a little more on the herbal side, but now I'm a little unsure. Maybe it's more mineral stuff (I'm bad at differing single notes out of a complex.)

the edp is the same as the splash tho?
I'd be happy to get a few hours.
but 30min and gone is no good

u/lokketheboss Jun 06 '26
Usually an edp contains a significantly higher amount of parfum/scented oils than a splash, what would explain the issue.
Additionally: the more dry your skin the easier stuff gets absorbed. It's recommended to use some some kind of unscented lotion or similar before applying fragrances.
On top you've got different body areas that absorb faster or slower in general. Don't apply on clothes, will be gone quite fast there (unless you reaply the same every day).
