Morning Sir!
Just thought I HAD TO confess after a few weeks of lurking...
Well, Henry I SO MUCH love your amazing collection of straights and admire your photographer's skills to boot.

Thanks for sharing, thus enabling many of us (I believe) to dream a little every day.

Taylors Victorian Lime Cologne

Hello Sir,

How do these two feel/smell?
I have been wondering about "Lime" more than often/usual lately...
Maybe some side effect of the temperatures rising up with Spring.
Though it is not too hot here, I figured I'd better be aware/ready by next June for Citrus scents are for Summer, right?

Goshhh; I can feel my ADs back again... Itchy!!!

The Sicillian Lime has an earthy lime scent. The Taylors Lime is more of a citrusy one note lime scent. It's my favorite long lasting lime cologne. It was originally owned by another company and marketed as Royal Yacht cologne. Taylors bought the line and renamed it Victorian #74. Thankfully, they did not change the formulation.

Thanks a lot Austin.
Now, how do you think it would compare to the other Taylor #74 cologne, the green one?
I just cannot manage to figure out and tell the difference, even based on reviews read here and there.
Both belong to the citrus/lime family, right?
Yellow=Victorian
Green=Traditional
What am I supposed to do with that? Ever tried the green one?

Good point that it holds quite a bit though, because I love Citrusy scents but they vanish quite quickly on me most of the time (think of my beloved Eau Sauvage; just a 3-hour thrill!!)

Many thanks for your help/reply

The green juice is floral with a hint of orange/citrus. Very nice and traditional. The yellow juice is one-note lime.

How about you Mr DogHair, any view on the subject?
Thanks.

Monday...

Razor: '57 Red Tip
Blade: 7 o'clock Yellow day 5
Soap: Williams
A/S: AV

The Williams is as slick as any soap I've used, if not slicker. Not at #1 on my list, but well deserving of a spot in the rotation.

I get mostly Jasmine out of the No. 74 Traditional. Maybe a little musk. The Victorian Limes is my only lime AS so I have nothing to compare it with but the lime scent is nice.
