Thread: Signature Scent

Gentlemen,

Post shave fragrance, in a small way, helps define a gentleman's personality. Many of us rotate a collection of fragrances, say from Pinaud Clubman to Ogallala bay rum. Fragrance is personal. For instance, I dislike most bay rum. The last time I splashed bay rum on my Hollywood face, my wife and two daughters made me get rid of it. Yet bay rum is the favorite of many shavers. And so it goes.

And then there is the signature scent. I have two actually: Woods of Windsor, and Spanish Leather by Truefitt & Hill. Unfortunately, Woods of Windsor, a company that dates back to 1770 (the year Beethoven was born), no longer produces the Woods of Windsor cologne and aftershave. I am on my last bottle, and I savor it by using it once in a while. Spanish Leather is still produced by Truefitt & Hill, and I am grateful for that.

These two scents, Woods of Windsor, by Woods of Windsor, and Spanish Leather, by Truefitt & Hill, in a small way, help define my personality. That's why I consider them my signature scents.

What are your signature scents?
