I use Arlington shave cream, and it just says classic "enjoyable scent" to me. doesn't really linger beyond the shave since I don't use the any post shave scent. It's my favorite performing and smelling cream.
Both are awesome in soap an cream form. Love DR products. If I had to pick one it would be Windsor in soap. Very pleasant scent. Only way to describe it is like Harold said. "classy" classic an enjoyable. Does tend to hang around a little longer than Arlington I think.
I have those, and for me, it's Windsor hands down.
Arlington I find a bit sweet smelling, a bit flowery, but nice.
The Windsor, it's what you'd expect a Gentleman's Club to smell like in Victorian England. Or like a museum, very refined scent in my opinion. Hands down it's my favorite of the DR Harris and one of my top five soaps.
Can anyone comment on the strength and longevity of the aftershave and colognes?
I'm curious about that too.
Gentlemen,
D.R. Harris soaps are topnotch. I have both fragrances, Arlington and Windsor, and take each for what it is since fragrance preference is personal. To me, both have a traditional fragrance that I find quite pleasant.
While their scents are top notch, they have (at least in my experiences) zero longevity.
Arlington is my favorite aftershave by far. It goes on with very little sting followed by a nice cooling sensation. My wife can't get enough of the scent. Unfortunately it doesn't stick around much after a couple of hours. I'm thinking of getting the cologne.
Well its official! After a few weeks of experimenting with different soaps an creams in my rotation, swmbo asked when I was going back to windsor. Pretty much settles it. I love it and its her fav. Guess i need to stock up.
I have both in the After shave, Arlington doesn't last (as most citrus scents tend not to), Windsor last longer. DR Harris Aftershaves are da' bomb, a little burn, cool, refreshed and my skin feels pretty dam good after application. I have yet to find an AS that's as goodQuote:

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one that has been seduced by these scents. :hmmm:
I haven't tried the Windsor but this thread is making me want to. I have tried the Arlington and the Marlborough. To me, the Arlington is one of those scents that no one will find offensive. It's a good scent, but to me not a great one. Now I find the Marlborough one of those scents that I can't get enough of. To me, it's almost intoxicating. Neither the Arlington nor the Marlborough are really strong and after the rinse, they don't hang around. Some guys like that, others don't. I think it works if you are wearing a different scent AS or cologne. I've been wanting to get another puck of the Marlborough but after seeing this thread, I may just try the Windsor...or maybe both. :)
Str8tlker if you like the other scents Windsor wont be any different. Very refined gentleman's scent. Worth every penny IMO. If you want it to last longer in the smell dept just add the aftershave to your order. It last me most of the day. Comes an goes pleasantly.
I am crazy about the Arlington after shave. It is one of my favorites. Windsor is the newest scent in the lineup celebrating the Queens reign and the reign of the Windsor family. I have not tried the Wiindsor as yet.
Like all good aftershaves the scent lingers for just a few hours as it should.
The choice is simple, Marlborough.
Does anyone know how DR Harris Bay Rum is? Scent wise, comparable to anything I've tried? Dominica, Captains Choice...
I've discovered Bay Rum late last year and can't get enough, my favorite hands down for everyday use.
I have a feeling that I may get the whole Harris set as money allows. ;)
Love both Arlington and Windsor - so much so that I also have the hugely overpriced but delightful shower gel/wash. Marlborough on the other hand...smells like a stale ashtray! Personal opinion of course!
