1805

[Nancy Boy]

Is it just me or does anyone else thinks T&Fs 1805 smells like the woman's fragrance TIGRESS by Faberge from the mid-1960s?

I tried a sample this morning and I smelled like a cheap female chippy. It took HOURS for the clinging madame scent to leave my face.

Thoughts?

That was you this morning?

sorry just sounded good....

 

[Nancy Boy]

Wil,

I'm telling you it was dreadful. I love T&F Almond and Trafalgar, and so glad it was a sample as I ended up chucking the rest out. It was sickening to me and I can't imagine what guy could tolerate it.

I got a great shave with it (as I get from all T&F stuff), but woah!

On second thought, maybe I'd better dig it out of the trash and save it. With my SCAD spiraling out of control, I might need to reapply and start working the streets...

Well obviously YMMV...many people like this cream, including myself. If you do start working the streets I would suggest some GFT Violet though.

Oh, Bob -- the Trumper's Violet is already a done deal!...

I have a tube of 1805 - not sure if it's a bad batch or what but I hardly smell anything at all with it. I've used it twice and I can smell a little something right at first but it goes away very quickly. I won't be using it again - good thing it came as a throw-in from someone else on B&B in a trade as I know T&H stuff isn't cheap.

I like the 1805 scent...of course I am an old madame.

Hi, my name is Jim and I like 1805!!!!

My wife says I'm in touch with my feminine side. Is that a bad thing?

Depends on how and what.... oh forget it. That was just too easy.

This is an interesting one for me since the first few times I tried both the cream and the cologne, I loved it. Having revisited it a few times, though, I also felt it was a bit feminine. I still like and use it though.

SWMBO bought me the 1805 cream and EDT from the T&H shop in Vegas a couple of months ago. She really liked the smell, and likes it on me. I can take it or leave it. Left to my own devices, I probably would have opted for Grafton or Trafalgar, but hey, whatever she likes. I wear scents for her mostly anyhow.

SO, about a year ago I got a sample of 1805. Shaved with it a couple times, liked the fragrance. That weekend, I was out a bar and this girl smelled EXACTLY like 1805. Didn't think to ask her what it was (or maybe I just don't remember), so I don't know if it was the perfume in question.

Regardless, for you single guys looking for a good pickup line, try something like, "Has anyone told you that you smell like shaving cream?"

Worked for me!

It's been a while since I used any 1805, but if I remember correctly, it's a marine scent. I didn't find it feminine.

 

[Nancy Boy]

It's far from being a "marine" scent, John. Trust me.

Looks like I'll having to be buying my 1805 brothers around here some Tigress for Christmas...

But, really, I understand everyone has a different nose.

Maybe there is something wrong with the sample you have. I would have to agree with John's opinion. T&H describes it as fresh and oceanic. Seems right on to me.

Put the rest of your 1805 up FT or FS. Problemo Solvo'd

Damn, that's what your's smell like? Up here in the Tenderloin, they smell like McDonald's and B.O.


... I gotta move back down to LA!

 

[hyperwarp]

As an x-SanFranciscan am glad to here that the City's soft, juicy, nether part aka The Tenderloin has moved up to smelling like McD's 'n BO.

When I left about 15 yrs ago it smelled strong of Eau D'Toilette/Urine...

1805 is one of my favourite shaving cream scents from the several I've tried, so it just goes to show 'to each his own'.
