Splash Recommendations

My brother in law's birthday's coming up, and last year I bought him a bottle of Proraso Green Methol & Eucalyptus which he really liked.

Any recommendations for something similar along those lines?

The options I've considered so far include Epsilon Blue, 4711, Speick, maybe even the Cella one? Something reasonably middle of the road without being too offensive. IMO, I find it a struggle to find something for my nose forget for someone else!

Does anyone have any good or bad experience either way with the ones I mentioned?

Thanks in advance!

Whilst lacking in a premium brand label, the two Superdrug aftershaves are good (Forest something and Sierran Breeze).

Assuming the 4711 AS smells like the cologne, I don't think you could go far wrong with that also.
 
Thanks for all the recommendations.

I really like the Superdrug splashes and use them myself, but I think I have to spend a bit more as it's a present!

Perhaps some Stirling aftershave as they are available in the UK now.

Razorock and goodfellas smile are also a good choice

The Stirling ones seem a little overpriced, but I'll have a look at the RR and GFS ones as well.

Speick or Blue Stratos both excellent performers.
I was unaware of the Blue Stratos, I'll have a look at that. Speick so far seems to be the one I am leaning towards, as I really liked the smell of the shaving soap.

Floid Vigoroso, Aqua Velva, +1 on the Blue Stratos.
I saw Gemstone has a few of the above, I'll keep those in mind.

Speick and Floid Vigoroso are both good options if he likes Proraso Green.
Good to see a few more recommendations for Floid and Speick.

Blue Stratos is really cheap, I seem to remember paying 3 quid last time I stocked up so maybe not great for a present but try some out next time you walk past a savers store.
 
Recently I am really enjoying the Extro splashes. They actually manage to last longer than a number of perfumes and EDC's.

4711 is another great splash which is as cheap as chips with a decent orange scent I have found works great for layering perfumes.

Do you have any recommendations for the Extro splashes? In addition to getting my BIL one I've been considering getting myself one!
 
I am using Arancia. Very orange and very unobtainable in the UK. Superb stuff and found it on the BST. Shame and someone in the UK should take this scent on.

The other one I like is Arzachena which I can best describe as very fresh and green. Their Barocco is a little odd and don't think it is for everyone. Rather an upmarket toilet cleaner scent.

I am just musing over which next as I love both their splashes and superb soaps.

My other favourite is Alvarez Gomeaz Barberia. Super scent and old fashion barber shop appeal
