Hi gents,
I didn't forget about you (how could I?).

Just a quick update on the Fine Platinum EDT.
I've worn it over the last two days to get a better idea on how it performs.

The opening is very close to the aftershave but more subtle. It lasts around 5 hours. By this time it's close to the skin. I do get a whiff of it occasionally later in the day.
Maybe it does last longer and my nose has got used to it?

The dry down (which you don't get with the aftershave) is very similar to the original (Creed) version. Which I believe is Ambergris? Musk and salty...which is nicer than it sounds.

Would I buy it again? No but I would buy aftershave again though.

I haven't tried any other clones so can't comment.

I will be using the original on Sunday. A mate has loaned me a bottle.

Completely missed this Rob. Thanks for the mini review, sounds more like Cologne than EdT? Perhaps I'm expecting too much but I think I'll pass on these.

Two packages received today. From the Land of OZ, the Gillette Super Adjustable long handle O4 1969 and the Gillette Flare Tip Black handle N1 1968. From the UK the 1940's British Gillette Fat handle Tech, I didn't realise the fat handle tech is bloody light as a grasshopper.

Do my eyes deceive me or is that in fact a thin handle Tech?
