Item Description
I got this scent as part of my Trumpers Sampler pack. I was intrigued by the idea of the Marlborough Cologne because I love the smell of tobacco. I thought this would be nice pipe tobacco with a mixture of fine english scents.
Boy was I wrong. Fragrance is a very personal thing. I realize that. While some of Trumpers fragrances have not been my cup of tea, I still sing the virutes of their staying power, qulity, packaging, etc. All that is still present in the Marlborough Cologne but the scent I just can't take. It's truely awful. It doesn't smell like pipe tobacco, cigar tobacco, or even cheap cigarette tobacco. It smells like stale cigarette smoke trying to be covered up with floral air freshener. It is really unpleasant. In the spirit of good reviewing, I gave it a full week to see how it changes and develops over time. Not much hope their either. By the end of the day the tobacco starts wearing off and the nice floral scent peaks through. But if that's the case then why not just get a good floral scent?
I can't recommend this to anyone. The only saving grace was that I got a sample instead of paying for a bottle.
