This is similar to the EDT version but it has a bit more depth and warmth to it. It’s still smooth but with a little bit of a spice. After a while it starts mellowing out a bit to become very similar to the EDT. I’ve heard a lot of people say they like this one better, but I think both of them have their own personality and are good in their own way. The projection is very good on this, and it smells even better getting a wiff of it from far than it does when you small up close. It lasts very long as well, you’ll get a good full workday out of it.

I think this is a very versatile fragrance, dates, gym, dinner, inside, outside, office. This may be the most versatile fragrance I can think of. It works well in summer as well as winter. If you had to only own one fragrance this would be a very good choice in my opinion.

This is going to be a univerisally apprecated scent, no one is going to find this offensive, unless you go crazy and overspray it, in which case no cologne will be good. Men of any age can wear this. This is a cologne I own, and I am very happy with it. I think it’s a rare occasion where I can offer a blind buy, which might be necesarry considering I wasn’t able to find it in stores around my location.

This has a medicinal smell to it, sweet, tobacco rum vanilla and wood. The projection is not very good on this, I have to put my nose about an inch from my arm in order to smell it and that is just after 15 minutes of wearing it. After 3 hours the scent is virtually undetectable.

This this would be good on a date, a night club, somewhere dark, a hot night. Dating is the only scenario this really works, definitely not sporty, fit for the office. A tropical setting would be especially good. Not for outdoors, the poor projection means no one would know you are wearing anything at all.

At first I wasn’t sure I would like this, but it mellows out after a while and the booziness and the sweetness really come to the forefront. This is definitely going to be something a lot of people are going to like. If you are missing a boozy scent in your collection, this would fit in, but I think that slot might be better reserved for a longer lasting fragrance.

This is obviously a barber shop style cologne. Lots of spiciness with a fresh feeling. The projection is not very good, I have to hold my hand right up to my nose to smell anything and even then it is a fainter than I would have expected. It seemed overly strong and first but it has mellowed to the point where I can hardly smell it. It reminds me a bit of Barbasol. After 3 hours the scent is still hanging around but it is very faint, but it’s stayed at this strength for the remainder of the day.

It is very versatile, I think office wear, gym, date would all be great places for this, day or nighttime. The only thing I would avoid is outdoor environments due to the poor projection.

While it’s a pleasant smell, the poor projection is a real deal breaker. If you want something with a barbershop vibe to it, I think Gurlain’s Heritage would be a way better choice here, and at similar price points.

This is a beautiful scent, masculine, clean, and professional. Oak Moss, orange, cedar, vetiver, bergamot. This would be best for an older gentleman. Office wear, date, etc. It has good projection so an outdoor event would be very appropriate.

This reminds me of something a doctor might wear, and it feels a bit old fashioned. Not something you would expect to come out today, but I personally am a big fan of that older feel. Something your grandfather might wear. If you have many colognes in your collection and are looking for unique smells, this one satisfies that niche.

A hippie type might be able to pull this off pretty well too, even thought at first a doctor and a hippie wouldn’t be two kinds of people you think about wearing the same scent, in an interesting way it would really work for both.
