No I haven’t smelt either of those the description of Dracula’s coffin I do quite like the sound of though lolAre you familiar with T&H Apsley or Wickham Gothic Revival? It's similar to those.

It's a great scent. I think you can safely buy it without fear of disappointmentNo I haven’t smelt either of those the description of Dracula’s coffin I do quite like the sound of though lol
I’ve been very kindly offered a sample of the soap to be sent out in the next couple of weeks so will hang on before pulling the trigger but thought I would ask how others describe the scent to get an idea..do you know what the longevity of the aftershave is like or is it better going with the EDP or doubling up with both maybe ?It's a great scent.

This is an excellent description. I imagine Max Schreck in Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu wearing this (the Edt, anyway). He would probably have alternated with Lalique Encre NoireLike Dracula's coffin!
It's a strong musky, musty with something quite exotic behind; there's dark fruit and dry spice giving the velvet undertones, but they're well behind a huge wall of mustiness. Don't get me wrong here - it's not dank, it's mysterious.
The Brut Attraction Totale is along similar lines, but more green and less must. It's sort of an "alive" version if Eucris is the scent of the undead.

If you like Puig Quorum, imagine it centuries old, awakened by ungodly incantation (and bloooood).
I've never tried the EDT but would happily add it to the den based on the scent of the cream. Got a few others to work through first though.I’ve been very kindly offered a sample of the soap to be sent out in the next couple of weeks so will hang on before pulling the trigger but thought I would ask how others describe the scent to get an idea..do you know what the longevity of the aftershave is like or is it better going with the EDP or doubling up with both maybe ?

Thank you for your reply I will have a look at the link you provided.. is it dark and mysterious in the way that Czech & Speak no 88 is or is it much darker than that as some people describe that as dark but I love it but not a big fan of scents that are too dark if you know what I mean

That is much too kind. Thanks!Such a wonderful photo Marco we need a 'Big Love' emoji
C&S 88 ... hold that thought.
Yeah, Gothic Revival is a bang-on clone of Eucris. I deliberately did not use the Wickham aftershave with the Eucris cream.
Haha! Too right ...
But yeah, C&S 88 is certainly in the same vein (pun intended) but I'd say GFT Eucris was darker, older, wiser and more mysterious. It's so musty, it makes your tongue feel dry! C&S 88 is Andy Von Eldritch, while GFT Eucris is Peter Murphy. You might need a google depending upon your knowledge of '80s Goth bands.
In fact, no ... GFT Eucris is Lou Reed!
Thank you interesting that’s honestly a great way to describe the difference..I like it ! I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy it will hold out on it till I get the sample before jumping in but after hearing your description I’m even more eager to give it a go appreciate itC&S 88 ... hold that thought.
