Scent of The Day

Hi Stephen

I really like it - it's one my wife bought me in a Penhaligons sale last year, without knowing how it smelt.
It lasts all day for me, luckily.
I'm told the Parfum version (black bottle?) is a little sweeter, but still very good.

I haven’t tried the EdP. Another Penhaligon’s favourite of mine is ‘Lothair’.
 
How do you rate this against actual Old Spice? Is it a 'clone' or and family resemblance?
It's spicier, somehow, but not as you'd expect. There's a sour berry scent to it which I think melds with the musk to produce a spicy dark edge. Jack Sparrow might have worn Old Spice, but his father Captain Teague would wear Rayan Black. In some ways, if Eucris had a pirate cousin it might be Rayan Black.
