The latter does hang on a while, but not so much as to merit, in my judgment, putting it in the permanent rotation. I will use up this bottle before making a final judgment, but for me, Cat o' Nine Tails is not a keeper. Not bad, just not sufficiently noteworthy to keep buying. The Captains Choice Bay Rum Aftershave is pretty nice, but again, I'm not immediately struck that it's a cut above the other better bay rums I've tried. So far, my favorites remain Dominica and Turtle Bay.
Yes - I've got the Cat as well, very earthy, definitely takes a bit getting used to, it's a so / so for me. I'll put in on simply to use as an AS, but not for anything special. And yes, that so-called, feel the burn, didn't really ever feel it, at least no where close to the point that is claimed....
