@@TheBTEAMwins I really like it. To me, its powdery and sweet w/ lavender and almond. It sits close to the skin on me (not a big projection) but thats fine with me and it does have good longevity. I'd also say sillage is decent. I agree w/ other reviewers that say it has a mature and classy vibe while at the same time, the sweetness makes it also modern and somewhat youthful. I personally never really go with big bottles for starters (unless its getting a frag is getting discontinued) because there is always the chance you may get bored with it after a while but thats up to you.

Capture that smell of a Dad’s morning routine moreso than a barbershop. Shaving cream and Coffee lingering in the air, hint of Vanilla, A recently lit fireplace, butter and toast, then take those rich warm inviting scents and brighten them up with a splash of lime and a hint of mint. Unfortunately, my much desired fragrance doesn’t exist right now. :/

@shave-a-thon34156 жыл бұрын
Brutworld USA told me that Brut bottle is based on the original Brut formula by Faberge but these young reps from P&G and Helen of Troy/Idelle labs (Old Spice and Brut, respectively) are quite often unaware of the history of the brands. For example, Brut was purchased by Unilever for Europe and uses the weaker Brut 33 formula which was released in 1968. I picked up the 757 ml bottle for $14 during a holiday sale a few years ago and the full bottle looks so great on the shelf that I really don't want to open it! It stands majestically above everything else!

Hey Jean-Luc, thanks for sharing! LOL, yeah that Brut I got from a place in NJ they had older scents in gigantic sizes... I wear it almost daily as an after shave.

Max - I hope you read and others these comments and that I'm just posting for nothing. My comments are not of the usual "Hi, great video nonsense with nothing else from another KZbin reviewer" variety. At 7:00 you mentioned that if this becomes discontinued, the price will rise. I don't know if you're aware of this but Zino was discontinued by Coty in 2010. Even Coty is amazed that so many bottles still seem to be in the pipeline. www.basenotes.net/perfumenews/362-davidoff-zino-relax-and-good-life-all-discontinued Here's the letter they sent me in 2017 two weeks after an extensive conversation: imgur.com/d60u598 Letter to a Basenotes member from Coty in 2013: imgur.com/in1NN4Z Do yourself a favor and check the batch code of your bottle. It's pretty easy as the last digit is the year and the other three are the day of the year. Many of us have 2015 and 2016 bottles according to Checkfresh or Checkcosmetic, which is imposslble according to Coty. The bottle state they're distributed by Coty. The only other possibility (other than being counterfeit and they're too strong and close to the original to believe that) is that the bottles are 10 years old and there were hundreds of thousands at distributors when they discontinued it. Even Marlon Harrison in his Fragrantica article wasn't aware of it until I wrote him. www.fragrantica.com/news/Zino-by-Davidoff-1986--6155.html

Your selections are great but I really think that you need to look at Artisan Wet Shaving Companies that are producing real lavender smelling aftershave/colognes. If you haven't tried The Holy Black Lavender Creeper then have not experienced the ultimate in lavender shave soaps or aftershaves. The "creeper" is a cooling agent that comes on strong and holds on which doesn't foul the lavender smell. Phoenix Artisan Accouterments makes vegan shave soaps and splashes which ride the fence between aftershave and cologne due to the percentages of oil and hydrosols they use. Your eyes will be opened when you see what this shops are doing. I look forward to your wet shaving aftershave video of the future.
