Item Description
I was skeptical when I saw this on the shelf at walmart. I assumed when I saw the name and the modern packaging that it would be a another ho-hum product that smells like your average college freshman. Of course because I am a compulsive buyer of aftershaves (over 30 right now) I opened the shiny box and took a whiff.
Wow!
The first thing you get is a citrus/bergamot hit that is very fresh, clean and brisk. This drys down to a slightly smokey vetiver over the course of the day. Stays close to the skin, very nice for work.
It also has a nice menthol cooling effect to it. Not any real burn to it that I could detect. Did a good job of making my neck feel soothed. Not a moisturizer, but most splashes are not. I am glad that I took the time to open that box.
Also the bottle is a good design. The sides are scalloped for a positive gripping surface. The bottle is glass and I really like glass bottles. Made by Gillette in France.
A great product that I would recommend to all.

This one surprised me. The frag lasts a long time, maybe a bit too long for an AS. It's probably closer to a cologne in that regard. After dry down I get a fair bit of pine. A very nice modern scent. I dinged it for points above because it has no glycerin (easily remedied) or menthol (somewhat surprising for a splash named "Cool Wave"). It is an alcohol-based AS and will burn, but that's not a negative for me. For the price, this one is a winner in my view.
