Notes














It’s a good value blind buy. But for me, I’ve evolved beyond Brut. Strong manly scent, but it’s oomph is short lived and it fades quickly. It’s tempting to really splash this one on. It smells a bit like pine/wood with some flowery notes. The dry down is a pleasant vanilla and musk smell. I liked this one in the 1980s. I remember when it became available in New Zealand supermarkets in the early 80s. It flew off the shelves and you could smell this everywhere. I picked up a bottle six months ago and still have some left. I’m not replacing it once it’s empty. It’s cheap, a bit like it’s plastic bottle, and it doesn’t smell as good as I remember it back in the 80s. The smell is ok, but I think there’s newer fragrances that outdo this one now for me. I wanted to re-live my youth when I bought this bottle, but unfortunately it just didn’t work for me.
This is the one that started my olfactory journey into scents, way back in my young teen years. I made the mistake of mentioning it was my favorite scent and ended up with many bottles of this every Christmas. I've seen every iteration of the bottle. The girls at school dug it more than the British Sterling, which seemed to me as made for old men. And this scent doesn't come close to the Pinaud Clubman one; there is no similarity. Look at the Main Notes section. What other scent gives you that much complexity for so little price? So the next time you see an inexpensive bottle of this, buy one for your nephew, your son, or even yourself and feel those memories again. This scent goes so far back, young people will have no idea what it is.
Ultimate masculine classic. This with Old spice, Burberry London, Polo green and Aramis will complete your shelf for masculine classics. I can name hundreds but they all revolve around these, you can also add Dior Fahrenheit. Mix them, layer them have fun. One of my dad's fav scent, too nostalgic and emotional for me to leave this aside, I love it and still wear it. Scent 9/10 Sillage 7/10 Longevity 6/10 Value 9/10 Overall 8/10
Having seen this at Walmart for a mere 9 bucks so many times, I finally thought I'd check out this classic cologne/aftershave. My dad wore this for a period when I was a child (until I thought his bottle was getting too low so I filled it with water). Got it home and couldn't wait to try it. Applied some on my arms and... this is good. Better than good. This is amazing! This deserves much more respect as a fragrance than it gets, most likely due to the price and commonality. For one of the first times I can smell almost every note in a fragrance. It's not that they are separate or not well blended, but they are there if you look for them. The anise, lavender, citrus, geranium, vanilla. Even the basil is there. The oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, and tonka pop their head out as it dries down. What surprises me most is how woody it is. It's a slightly sweet floral wood scent. And I absolutely love the woody aspect. I have some expensive and overpriced fragrances, and I'd put this at the same level as them. This goes into the rotation. I'm rather blown away by it and very impressed. It's a classic, but still relevant. Much in the same way that Green Irish Tweed is. Or Acqua Di Parma Colonia. Or Eau Sauvage. It is a classic male scent that deserves to still be around and get worn. And be respected. Edited to add that I should mention it is the splash on aftershave that I have which means it is very light and doesn't last all that long. I know they have an EDT glass bottle available. May have to try that. I wish they'd do a higher end version that this scent deserves. EDP, but don't change a thing. Just stronger. Like original strength.
I have brut eau de cologne. Nice but no performance. I went out and got the eau de toilette. To test iti put on three weak sprays. It lasted maybe 15 minutes. I guess if I put on 8 sprays i might get an hour or so. A complete fail. That is how these drugstore fragrances were. You would dab it on your hand and load up with it and maybe you got two hours or three out of it. No atomizers back then. I found out you could do same thing with cheaper aftershave. I have many designer fragrances now just trying to play fragrance nostalgia.
