Ah! Now that is interesting. I was only going off my earliest memory of it. Which was as a kid at my uncle's house, in his bathroom. Saw a bottle of it there. The adults were in the dining room, playing Risk, listening to the Yellow Brick Road album, and smoking non-tobacco related items...
Aftershaves with "staying power"?

Sorry you had to put up with that. At least you got to smell the EL...

Even more clueless than you
I agree that RazoRock are long lasting. Just make sure that staying power is not overpowering. I worked with a guy who was into a musk scent. He must of thought it was great and man was it long lasting. It was so overpowering to the point of being sickening.
Yellow Brick Road was Elton John's last decent effort! It was all Disney soundtracks and whatnot after that!
Fine L’Orange Noir is probably my longest-lasting.
Have also tried Fine’s Italian Citrus (too lemony for me). Not as strong.
Platinum is the weakest of the Fine’s Ive tried - and its the one I like the best - wish it was stronger!
Have some Fresh Vetiver on the way. Hopefully I like that one, too.
The only Razorock I have are Santa Maria del Fiore and Acqua. They are both “medium-lasting” for me. And I really like both.

Pashana Aftershave is my go to long lasting aftershave.
Another option: For the soaps you really like, use an unscented A/S and then use the matching cologne. It could cost a few more bucks, but you'll definitely get to keep smelling it longer. I think I have 5 or 6 I do that with.
Phoenix Artisan Accourtments has some serious staying power, I'm a fan of their stuff! I think you will be too!
Tabac and TOBS Sandalwood last really well for me as does Razorock splashes.
Sadly, Proraso Green has little staying power

it is their knock off of Boellis Panama and it is quite nice.
Stirling Green and Alighieri are insanely strong scented aftershaves. Not sure if it is just a thing with the smaller format Black Friday soaps, but they last a very long time. More like EDT than AS splash.
Do they correspond at all to the originals they imitate, if you happen to know?
I haven’t used Fahrenheit in years but from what I remember, Alighieri seems close.
Stirling Green reminds me a lot of Polo green but it isn’t a dead ringer. I haven’t tried them side by side.
Both are excellent soaps and aftershaves though.
Thanks! How does Green seem to differ from the original?
I’m not an expert in any way but if I had to describe the difference I would say that RL Polo is more woody and Stirling Green has more pine and maybe basil.
If you like Polo green, I would be surprised if you don’t like Stirling Green.
I always remember my best friends dad's bottle of Hai Karate in the "guest" bathroom.......
Can you imagine a company having the gonads to pull off an advertising campaign like "Hai Karate" these days!?I always remember my best friends dad's bottle of Hai Karate in the "guest" bathroom.......
It rises to an almost "Blazing Saddles" level of irreverence...
someone should do it just to prove a point. lol HAI KARATE bring it back and lets go!!!!!!
