Samples from Garry's Sample Shop arrived today: 4711, Lucky Tiger, Superior 70 Menthol, and Clubman. I've since stopped by CVS and smelled Clubman; I'll give it a try, but don't think it'll be a keeper.
Used 4711 after squash today at lunch. That stuff burns more than I've ever imagined. I have the fake Aqua Velva from RiteAid and its burns a bit, but this stuff is a whole new level. And the smell is VERY overpowering for about 5 seconds. Not sure what the first smell is, alcohol maybe? After that it turns into a very strong alcohol/ fruit smell and fades to a fruit smell. 15 minutes later, I can still smell it a little and it's very candy fruit smelling: PEZ maybe? My face feels good, but I really like the idea of a menthol. I'll give this a try at home so my wife can smell it and if she likes it, I may keep some around for times I don't want menthol.
A couple hours later, I can still faintly smell it, but it's not bad at all. I'd prefer it disappeared completely, but it's not bad.
Scent 95% gone after about 4 hours.
