Just got my cavendish aftershave today its the new alcohol splash. First the scent, it is a very rich blend of tobacco smokey with hints of vanilla to me anyway. If you've ever smelled a black and mild cigar this is very similar. Now it is labeled cologne/aftershave and it lives up to it. Very strong lasting scent so dont do what I did and use as much as I would normally I shaved at 7 its now 9:30ish and the scent is still very pronounced not that its a bad thing.as for skin care my face and head are very hydrated and soft and protected.
