PIF'd very generously from the Prof. Used this afternoon. Same set up as I have used last while to reduce variables;
Hot shower for prep and faced washed with Molton Brown soap
SS Adjustable with Gillette Bleue blade
Arko shave stick applied to face, lathered with EJ pure Badger.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS; Very nice, good quality bottle and cap. Label on box was a bit insipid regarding colour selection.
BOTTLE; As stated, very good, impressed my wife.
LABELLING; This is my only negative, bit washed out looking, needs a bit more presence.
SCENT; I sniffed from the bottle and got the grapefruit right away. I applied to my wrist and allowed to settle. Lavender and sandalwood came through, very subtle, very nice. Not too strong an overall scent. Perfect for applying another scent later if wished.
BURN; Little to none, felt clean and refreshing.
LONGEVITY; Somewhat fleeting, I believe this is intentional.
VALUE FOR MONEY (£9.99); Excellent, my wife, who buys most of my scents, says she would buy it.
SUMMARY; Overall Prof., a definite winner. I never really noticed the labelling, when brought to my attention I had to agree. BOLDER. During visits to warmer climes I could see me using Grapewood as an AS and as a cooling agent, it is superbly refreshing. I wondered if you added oils/glycerine to your AS's or left it down to personal choice? This would be the icing on the cake for me, however, that is down to personal choice.
