Barbon

[gaj90027]

Got me a new favorite cheap aftershave splash - less than $10.00 shipped from Hungary on ebay!

The menthol is a little more mild than SCS Blue Line and Mama Bears Mandarin Ice aftershave but it still gives a really nice kick. Nothing wrong with MB or SCS but on those days that you only want to be lightly kicked in the but reach for the Barbon instead.

The scent is heavy menthol but not as strong as SCS Blue Line and I can't smell it at all after 10 minutes or so. No worries about clashing with your cologne.

I like it. Find the menthol to be pretty strong, but I'm sure there are "colder" menthol aftershaves out there. The Barbon shave cream is nice too, and gives a great shave.

I placed an order with most likely the same ebayer last week... I have a nice little menthol collection going! Proraso, Floid and Barbon!

I think I ordered from the same seller--it came a lot faster than expected, and I like the splash. Ended up ordering the "Figaro" splash as well.

The bottle is a pretty cheap plastic number, but the AS is really nice if you like menthol.

Yeah, I've been thinking of getting a bottle of this from ebay, pretty cheap so why not? Can anybody describe the scent for me?

I wonder, does anyone know if the scent is similar to that of the Barbon cream. I wasn't a fan of that stuff.

The scent: definitely menthol/clean/fresh, but there's a "grassy" undertone. It's slight.

I guess if I had to compare Barbon to Mosswood, I'd say Mosswood is woodsy but mostly clean, whereas Barbon is clean but a little mossy, with a little something like mown grass. Barbon also has more menthol than Mosswood, although it might be the same amount as Polar Ice.

Hope that's not more confusing.
