Aftershave of the Day

Neither did I. Stumbled into it during a sale with the YouTuber/reviewer I mentioned on my office posts. He was selling the EDT for cheap and I had to try it, and haggled. After a bit I asked that, since he was getting rid of the EDT, would he have the Aftershave to throw in or sell also?

Well, he sold the aftershave prior but he did look and found he had the balm sitting around and threw it in with a bundle I made up. Needless to say, I was pretty well pleased. Always good to ask!

Online you can still, at the very least, buy the modern aftershave splash for about 25 bucks, but the balm is a rare mystery. I think he had it imported from Germany via a friend and contact. I've been trying to locate the other toiletries like the face wash, shower soap, body spray, face/body lotions, etc, but to no luck. I won't even lie to myself in thinking I could find any of the shave soap, but it would be a dream.

I like the skincare and scent. If you prefer a strongly scented or bracing aftershave, then you may not like it. My S. Korean friend and I have an annual aftershave exchange. He has given me several SK products, and I have enjoyed using them all for similar reasons. In return, I keep him supplied with a small batch aftershave (think of a bourbon-based bay rum) made by a local barber in my neck 'o the woods.

I'm... not a fan. It wants to smell like silver tequila and lime, with added geranium and vanilla.

It ends up smelling somewhere between sun block and cheap vanilla body lotion, and a sprite float. If you want to smell like a romantic day at the boardwalk, go for it! But I personally wanted something more rugged.

"Fierce Scent for a Gentleman"

This is a pretty interesting little splash. Technically, it's an "Aftershave Cologne" given it's ingredients. Anyway, it's supposed to be a "uh duh" Drakkar Noir ripoff made by Clubman, but it's more than that. It starts with that sorta spicy shave cream thing, but a little lighter, before evolving into a pretty odd, or rather Unique, burnt leather and pineapple RIND aroma. Yes. It has pineapple as a note but it smells like that rough, Leathery part of the pineapple no one really eats as well as the skin of the pineapple.

It smells more like Lomani Pour Homme than Drakkar, but a little different. I'd say it's as if Lomani Pour Homme made an "Eau Fraiche" flanker with a lighter composition and the pineapple leather twist.

Pairs well with Drakkar and other Drakkar copycats with that DNA, but it's a perfect pairing with Lomani imo... Or, get a spray head and wear it boldly on its own, shave or not.
