Item Description
I've seen this product for quite some time and never bothered to order it since many vendors who sell it describe it as "a fragrance similar to Aqua Velva", and I've got plenty of Aqua Velva on hand. I can't blame them too much, if they're too lazy to open a bottle and smell it then the blue coloring could remind them of Aqua Velva.
However, I did read a description somewhere else that indicated that it actually was a spice-type fragrance, as it's name implies. I became interested and ordered a bottle. Well, it definitely is no Aqua Velva clone and in fact contains no menthol whatsoever. The fragrance is "barber shoppy" and rather pleasant but nothing to write home about. It has a "spice" fragrance but not like Old Spice... perhaps it could be described as a much lighter Old Spice without the clove component.
The fragrance is fleeting and the alcohol burn is minimal. It felt nice on my face, but lacked both the menthol freeze or the alcohol burn that I crave. It's a pleasant aftershave that is good for its price but probably not worth going out of your way to track it down.
