    I've only used the Grapefruit. Love it. Will buy more TOBS varieties in the future.

    Thanks Obie

    Does it fade away quickly like some? I find the St James makes a particularly hasty retreat

    Nonick,
    Citrus scented aftershaves and colognes, as a general rule, have a short life on the skin. The same is true with Taylor No. 74. A hint of the scent, however, does linger. It's quite a pleasant aftershave, and I'm sure you'll like it. I have used it for years, mostly during warm weather, and will continue to do so.
    As a side note, another delightful citrus you might like is Caswell-Massey's No. 6 aftershave. While not as complex at Taylor's, it is quite pleasing nevertheless.

    Can you or somebody else describe the scent, lasting and lather of this kind? Much appreciated, my Grapefruit is receding.

    It's got a citrus smell to it. It lathers up nice. From my experience, a little goes a long way. I wouldn't say it leaves a lasting fragrance after shaving. That's why I'm actually looking into the Eton College aftershave or maybe a cologne.

    Yeah I agree with you CMmoore. The eton is a citrusy scent but has a gentlemans touch. Nice fragrance an as with all TOBS the performance is great! Only scent I have found that has any real lasting power is sandalwood though. Adding the aftershave helps. I used sandalwood today an it lingered around most of the afternoon. Still haven't picked a fav yet. So far I have tried all the scents in the sampler. Also have eton an st james in large quantity in rotation. You honestly cant go wrong with these.
