My Signature

My bottle is an older version of the aftershave for men. Right away you know as an aftershave it will not have even the strength of the EDT/EDP, however, what it did have is one of the best citrus moments of my life. Lemon, citron, even a little orange, simply stunning realistic citrus. Was it gone in less than thirty minutes, yes, but who cares it was beautiful. Sometime after I got this bottle I quit shaving and grew a beard . . . that was well over a decade ago. I kept this bottle in a dark cabinet (air conditioned all the time). I recently went back to just sample the citrus (having rediscovered my love for fragrances) and to my disappointment they were gone. A citrus that magical probably just doesn't age well regardless the way it was stored but wow, when it was fresh, what a stunner.
Dunhill Indian Sandalwood is quite the beautiful fragrance even if it is not made with real sandalwood. Just so creamy and warm with a what I consider a masculine and professional scent. I love the smell of this and the feel in the morning when I put it on prior to dressing for work. That said, I do not love how weak the longevity is. I wear it to the office, I don't need to project much more than the few feet around me and really don't want great sillage either. No worries as the projection is minimum for the time I spray it on for maybe the first hour and the their isn't any sillage to worry about. But my biggest gripe is that this is gone in three to maybe three and a half hours after spraying it. I am being generous with that time period too. Additionally, that is with around ten good sprays. So in short, lovely scent with horrible longevity. Can't be that upset with this blind buy as it was only $53. I will search on for a sandalwood with staying power.
Was a very easy mens cologne to wear. Manly yet sophisticated. I would love to find a good deal on still today to have it back in my rotation.
