Aloha JB!

Nice fragrance indeed. I really like Klein's "Obsession for Men"

That reminds me, I got a gift box of Acqua Di Gio by Armani from a friend that I really need to start wearing. The gift box includes Cologne and After Shave Balm. Honestly, I have to say I like Acqua Di Gio in the Summer. Used Sparingly. But the Aftershave Balm has really surprised me. It's very refreshing and feels great on the skin.

Mahalo for the reminder!

EARLY this morning (VERY early) it was Stirling Soap Company Grapefruit and Menthol aftershave.

You may not think that Grapefruit and Menthol would be good together but it works. The Menthol wears off after a while and you are left with the Grapefruit citrus scent. I must say, I like it. Very fresh scent. I shaved with their Grapefruit and Menthol soap as well. Not much to say about Stirling other than I am a big fan of their products.

Mahalo!

This morning was a big disappointment.

I ordered a bottle of C.O. Bigelow "Vetiver and Citrus" cologne. I normally have good luck with C.O. Bigelow products. I was excited to try this as I like Vetiver and I like Citrus.

I do not know if it is that Bigelow's Vetiver is bad, or if I happened to get a bad bottle (old and stale) or if the heat of summer damaged the scent oils in transit, but it is not for me. The best way to describe the scent is "OFF-PUTTING". Hardly any citrus tones and as I say, just a terrible scent. I shaved at 7 AM with application of the cologne around 7:30. Two hours later has me thinking about showering again to get rid of the scent. It's that bad. And it's too bad. I really thought I'd like this. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I only paid $10 plus shipping, so not out a bunch. This may be the very first bottle of cologne that I give away or put in the trash. Perhaps I can stop into a Bath and Body Works and see if they have a bottle to try. This way I can see if perhaps I got a bad bottle. Or it just could be it is not for me, period.

I have showered again to get rid of the C.O. Bigelow Citrus and Vetiver and put on Proraso Vetyver and Cypress aftershave. Ahhh... Much better now.

It's a classic for sure. My favorite too.
