I think it's high time this aftershave got a thread of it's own! I recently posted about it in another thread, and @1Cal asked me to describe the scent. After I did so, I thought it really needed to be in the spotlight.
The scent was created in 1968, and is currently produced by Puig. It is available as an after shave and a cologne.
Top Notes
Sage, Lavender, Lemon, Bergamot, Juniper
Heart Notes
Laurel Leaf, Pine, Carnation
Base notes
Moss, Sandalwood, Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver, Leather
If I had to pick out the notes that I think I'm detecting the most it would be Sage, Pine, & Moss, and after that maybe the Patchouli and Vetiver.
I describe it as:
Warm, outdoorsy, and rugged. Mildly herbal, woody and earthy. Smells old fashioned, rustic and masculine. It does not smell like it was concocted in a lab or a perfume house. It smells like someone who lives in the mountains went out and collected some of natures bounty and made an aftershave.
I received a sample of it last year in the aftershave pass box, and loved it. I got a bottle of it for Christmas last year and the more I use it, the more I love it. I realized that this is what I have always been looking for in a scent! I like earthy tones in my clothes and I like earthy notes in my nose.
I still find it very difficult to use any aftershave for more than a few days in a row. I just like variety too much. But if I was going to choose one aftershave to be my signature scent, this would be it!
Who else loves Agua Brava? Has anyone tried the vintage stuff? How does it differ from what is available now?
