Thread: Interesting inexpensive AS find

I was on a business trip to El Paso with my wife. She saw and wanted to go to the Pro Ranch Market. It is a very Hispanic focused place - lots of products you would find in Mexico. I took the opportunity to peruse the shave products and found an aftershave called Tres Flores. "Tres Flores" translates to Three Flowers, but it wasn't clear from the label which flowers were in it . For $4 and some change for a 6 oz. bottle, I had to try it.

I've never smelled the infamous Lilac Vegitol and was a little apprehensive. I found Tres Flores slightly sweet and flowery, but subtle and pleasant. As an aftershave, it is typical of alcohol based splashes. My wife approves which helps a lot.

If this was a review, I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 and recommend it to folks who want something different from bay rum or citrus scents.

I remember Tres Flores as a hair tonic from way back before the wet head was dead and dudes sported Elvis style grease ball hair dos. Didn't know they made an AS.

The Tres Flores a/s comes in a bottle similar to the Clubman a/s colognes. I've seen it as well at a couple hispanic shops out on the west side.
