Smells amazing and works well

Excellent Fall/Holiday soap with sweet apple cider scent. Great soap for use all year round.

I got a sample of this along with splash and I have to say it was very nice on my face! The sent is cinnamon forward but not overpowering, I caught whiffs of it pretty much all day and the splash had a nice kick that will wake your face up! Definitely getting full size and would recommend.

I’m 50/50 on this one. I like it. But only parts of it. Whatever is in it burns my face which doesn’t make for a pleasant experience.

I love the Sterling Shave soaps. Amazing soap at an amazing price.

I really enjoyed the scent and the lather it made was fantastic! Made my shave comfortable and enjoyable!

From the moment I opened the Hot Apple Cider shave soap, I was greeted with a warm, inviting fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of autumn. The crisp apple notes are beautifully complemented by the spicy warmth of cinnamon, creating a cozy, comforting scent that immediately set the mood for an exceptional shave. The lather itself was rich, creamy, and slick, offering excellent glide throughout my shave, and leaving my skin feeling soft and nourished. Stirling's soaps are known for their performance, and this one is no exception — providing a smooth, irritation-free shave every time.

A great scent for the winter time or anytime your in the mood for it. Performs great

Who doesn't like apple cider? Or a hot apple pie?
I'm a sucker for natural scents in the Stirling catalog. The very few Stirling soap scents I've been a tad less enthusiastic about are those based on various colognes, aftershaves etc. I find I prefer their more natural scents and so ordered a sample size Hot Apple Cider soap and immediately knew I had to order a refill puck so I wouldn't run out anytime soon.
The scent is very natural. It doesn't smell like some fake chemical. It really smells like ... like ...well ... hot apple cider.
As it should.
And it's fabulous.
And it lathers like all Stirling soaps do, which is to say rich and creamy and fantastic.
I love it. Just a great shave soap.

Absolutely love the smell. All the fall and winter activities put into a shave soap. My second favorite soap by far from Stirling.

This is yet another Stirling Soap that I can't fathom not liking. Unless you're allergic to cinnamon. Or apples. Or cider. As summer fades (thankfully) into my rearview mirror and I anticipate cooler temperatures and the wonderful sights and smells of autumn, this soap will invariably be one of my favorites, one I'll use frequently. My only concern is that, as a huge fan of warm apple pie a la mode, I might be tempted to take a bite out of it. But I promise I'll save it for shaving instead. And the way it lathers and provides such a great cushion, I'll be using it a lot. One of my all-time favorites.

Placed my order few days ago and today I received it in the mail..Opened up the package and was very impressed on how my soap, after shave splash and shave balm was shrink wrapped all together along with a free black cherry sample soap...Opened up my receipt and there was a personal note written to me from the owner...Thought that was super cool...soon after I rushed to try out my hot apple cider products..I must say the soap,splash and balm is amazing....scent is spot on....im very happy as always with stirling soap company

I wrote a review not long ago trying my best to describe what this flavor smells like and/or reminds me of. Either way I absolutely love Hot Apple Cider.
However, I went into work the other night and a female co-worker of mine looked straight at me and said and I quote:
"you smell like a Hallmark store during Christmastime".
I do believe she nailed it and gave the best description yet! ❤️

I placed an order with Stirling for the first time the other day. Today it arrived and I got right too it! Hot Apple Cider is absolutely phenomenal! The lather is rich and creamy, the scent is perfect for a crisp fall day and when I walked out if the bathroom my family all asked what I was wearing because I "smelled delicious". I told it was Hot Apple Cider shave soap and splash... I personally didn't find an issue with the cinnamon and cloves in the soap, but I did feel it for a few seconds in the splash. That said, it didn't burn, but gave a slight reminder that I AM ALIVE! I highly recommend this to anyone on the fence about it! The scent strength is just right for my liking, not super overpowering, but not a lightweight either. A perfect combination! I am glad I took a chance on this 1! Thank you Stirling!!! I reminds me of being a kid at grandma's house for the holidays!!

The scent is nice smells like apple cider. Not an over powering soap and the cinnamon did not cause any irritation. I would purchase again and recommend this soap for a cold day.

I just shaved with my Hot Apple Cider and used the splash afterwards.
Wow!!!! 😮
It's a blend that both wakes you up and relaxes you at the same time.
It reminds me of my Mom's spice cabinet that she used for baking, the entire holiday season; plus the cinnamon in it has one hellava bite but in a good way.
It's most definitely a cool/cold weather blend.
I highly recommend this flavor as Fall and Winter are knocking on the door.

I absolutely love this scent, and truly hope Stirling does not change the "recipe" for the scent. It's much more spice than apple, which I absolutely love. I'll use this throughout fall and winter. I have extremely sensitive skin and was very concerned that it would irritate my skin based on other reviews. I'm pleased to say I did not find this to be the case. On first use, I did feel a little irritated, but not sure if I was just imagining things, because I now use this on a daily basis with absolutely no issues at all. Highly recommend!!

Sure to be a seasonal favorite. I purchased a sample for my fall shaving rotation. What a winner, as is with all my Stirling products. Great shave, great scent, and great post shave. Thanks Rod and Mandy. Keep up the excellent work.

The scent is absolutely one of my favorites out of all the Stirling products I have tried. It really smells like delicious mulled cider. The soap performs awesomely, just like all the shave soap from this website.

However... the cinnamon irritates my skin.
My face gets red and I get a burning sensation. It's more uncomfortable than painful, but not something I can do every time I shave.
Definitely get a sample of this one, you will not be disappointed with the scent or performance.

So you love apple cider? Would you wanna dunk your body in it? Now you can! This smells exactly like apple cider, right down to the mulled spice scent! BE CAREFUL! It can irritate the skin more than most, I DO NOT have sensitive skin and after the second lather, it began mildy stinging/burning. Afterwards it calmed down, and I love the after scent. Just forewarning, even if you think you don't have sensitive skin, it can still affect you! Lovely soap all around though!

I have been getting samples of Stirling soaps for my wife. This is her new favorite. The soap performs great, but the scent is what she loves. This is a top notch soap and one that will likely be ordered as a full puck.

I absolutely adore this scent, but I imagine the cinnamon in this soap irritated my sensitive skin a bit and left me feeling quite red and hot, but this quickly disappeared. Great soap otherwise.

Just like all Stirling soaps and other Stirling products, this soap just works perfectly. Extreme lather from very little with no time to whip it up. Oh, did I mention the scent which smells exactly like a holiday cup of hot apple cinnamon spiced cider? Well it does, fantastic scent and perfect for the Fall/Winter holiday season. I've only used it twice as of this review, but the tub will be diminished a lot by the time the holidays are over. If only they could make a matching A/S...oh well, maybe next year. Thanks Stirling for another great seasonal item. Well done.

I purchased this for my wife. The scent is fantastic and she loves the way the soap performs.

OMG have you ever wanted to dip your face into a bowl of warm apple cider. Well here is your chance this is amazing . Its very hard not to put the brush into my mouth when lathering . What a great job on this scent you won't be disappointed.

Makes you feel like walking thru an apple orchard in October...

Another soap with great all around performance and scent. Only regret is I should have gotten the aftershave splash.

Spot on. The smell is sweet and warm, this is gonna be a favorite this fall and winter for sure.

This soap lathers well and creates a perfect shaving base. The smell of apple cider fills the room and makes the experience more enjoyable.

I was gifted this soap by a friend after they had a bad reaction to the cinnamon. I'm happy to report that I had no such reaction, because the smell is absolutely scrumptious, especially to an apple loved like myself. In addition, the quality of the shave is amazing, though this hardly needs to be said. I would caution people to patch test this one to see if they'll react, but barring any sensitivity issues, I'd wholly recommend this one to nearly anyone.
