Hey gang,

I've searched the forum and cannot find a review of these colognes, anyone tried or used these that can shed some light on how they wear? Thanks in advance

I'm surprised that no one has used these, or at least has an opinion of their quality

Sorry, but I haven't tried any of those.

You can get good start on some reviews by looking here also:

Run a search on this forum and maybe all of B&B, and some things should come up. I did a test running a search in the body of messages on Marlborough in the cologne forum and got hits. I have tried the AS version of Marlborough but not the EDC. I do not think I have tried the GF Trumper SW or the DRH Lavender!

Not sure what you are looking for in the way of a review. If it is helpful, I have TOBS sandalwood edt and a sample of GFT sandalwood edt. Of the two, I prefer the TOBS (smells better to me in the dry down and is not as expensive). Both are warm, floral and spicy. Best description of each is probably on Basenotes. I am personally glad I ignored the "pans" on Basenotes. I would say that both of them have a lot in common with T&H Spanish Leather and D.R. Harris sandalwood.

In your research, remember that waters are the weakest of the fragrances, meant to be used as a refreshing splash. Lavender waters, by in large, won't last more than an hour or two without splashing on more. If you want a lavender scent that will last longer, then we are into another subject.

Within lavender waters the gamut runs from mint/medicinal to floral/sweet. Believe from researching that D.R. Harris is more towards the medicinal end of the spectrum. Crabtree & Evelyn (my personal favorite) is on the floral/sweet end. One I found to be sort of in the middle is TOBS lavender water. An advantage of the TOBS lavender water is that it is also a good aftershave splash. Suspect the others work as an aftershave as well, but haven't tested them.

Thanks guys, I went over to basenotes and did some reading. Also found a few references here after doing some more digging. I guess I just wanted to know if someone here "loved" or "hated" them, lol. Even though I know likes and dislikes are all subjective to the user.

Thanks again, have some samples on the way and will try them out and make a decision then.
