What's new

All the World, loves... well, what, exactly?

Boy howdy, did I wake up excited this morning! There was a gleaming, golden light coming from my shave den. A prominent bottle, standing proud among the likes of The Veg and Alt Innsbruck, ready to face the challenge of taking on a Monday morning shave after a weekend break from the blade. Just so I know what I'm getting into, I dab a bit on my wrist and rub it in a bit. All the World, loves a lover. All the World loves...


...that's it? Really? Hmm, maybe that little dab on the wrist isn't enough to get the full effect of the scent. After all, this is supposed to be the stuff of legends, but the Austrian crowd is pointing and laughing. The Veg was... well I'd better not say. Still, a few hefty shakes into my palm, a few slaps on the face... meh. Oranges, sure. And maybe a little musk or something. But nothing offensive, nor amazing. I stopped short of the prescribed method of application, but there was no sign of gun-slingin' flashbacks, no laughing doorman, and certainly no piano.

I'm disappointed. I expected a whole heck of a lot more. All I can say is "weak, spineless scent but decently effective splash". I'll give it another try I suppose, but if you wanted to try this stuff... watch BST. I doesn't do it for me.

this may not bode well for The Nid Hog's venture into the Heart of ___ .
 
MANDOM really is weak in the scent department. But what little scent it has certainly punches you in the nose for a few minutes, then it's gone.

It isn't quite clear....

Did you use it after a shave, or simply splashing it around a bit?
 
Like most Japanese aftershaves, Mandom doesn't also function as a crossover cologne. On and gone. But the burst of Mandomian fragrance when you splash is on--floral, leather, burned rubber, dried blood and neurotoxin--is sublime. YMMV.*
