I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of Captain’s Choice Nor’Easter yesterday, which was just released. I won this in a contest here on B&B a few weeks ago.
I used it for the first time this morning, and I like it a lot. This aftershave is based on/inspired by the now discontinued Floid Blue. I have never tried Floid Blue, but I have been eager to do so (or to try one of the other inspired aftershaves). I am a huge Aqua Velva fan, and I had heard that these aftershaves were in the same family, so I was expecting an AV-type smell. Nor’Easter and AV smell very different to me, however.
So how does it smell? (Full disclosure: I’m not good at olfactory descriptions...) It has a very masculine smell with a powdery finish—maybe a hint of leather in there? It has a nice menthol zing as well. This could become a favorite. Definitely worth a try.
Scott/@Captain Pre-Capsize, any plans for a matching soap?
