This stuff is just way too viscous to use as an aftershave, it leaves a sticky film behind on your face. However, it does have a very unique classy scent. I wouldn't call it manly, but it definitely is strong and lasts for hours. I use this more like a cologne on my clothes. The atomizer is also very poor, I've heard this from other users as well; it doesn't really shoot out a spray but a straight line instead. Another great plus is I've used this stuff several times over the course of the past few months, and it's still full. I wouldn't buy it again though, as I've heard they recently released the cologne version. Not a great aftershave, but the scent and longevity of the scent make it a useful buy as a cologne.
