Fine Accoutrements Italian Citrus

[jeff91605]

I got my delivery of American Blend and Italian Citrus yesterday and had the pleasure of using the Citrus this morning. I've seen a few folks talk about the American Blend, but here's my 2¢ for the Citrus

It has a nice slight burn from the alcohol yet with a good chill from the menthol with nothing overpowering from either. I really enjoying the scent which is holding up so far. I'm not picking up any one particular fruit, but it's a delightful train-wreck of citrusy goodness!

I've read good things about the American Blend and I can't wait to splash that on tomorrow! Has anyone tried the Fine Blue or Vetiver from these folks?

I'm interested in this thread. The Fine Vetiver is something I'm interested in trying. I need to use up some other splashes first. I'm currently using Captain's Choice Lime, Captain's Choice Cat O'Nine Tails, AV Ice Blue and Old Spice. These products all contain either glycerin, Witch Hazel, or something that soothes/heals. I don't see any of that type of ingredient in the Fine AS splashes.

There is some info below. I like the American Blend quite a bit. The Vetiver not as much. As always YMMV.

I enjoy them all. The Vetiver doesn't smell like vetiver, but is a scent I enjoy. American Blend is my favorite, although I'll continue to use the Italian Citrus and Vetiver.

I have the AB and the Vetiver..love them both. I would agree the Vetiver is a little different the classic scent but I really enjoy it. Personally my favorite thing about these aftershaves is the mentholation...gives a nice cooling kick like you get with Alt Innsbruck (which I seem to recall was his inspiration when coming up with these AS)

I did the American blend today and definitely agree about the nice chill from the menthol. I'm really liking these two & will most likely take the plunge down the road to get the Blue and Vetiver also.

I have and enjoy the Italian Citrus, American Blend and Fresh Vetiver....They are all fantastic smelling and soothing...Currently tops in my rotation of A/S beating out my absolute faves...Myrsol. I must say that the Fresh Vetiver is my favorite...it's a different take on straight Vetiver but to me it's like the L'Occitane Vetiver cologne just a tad "fresher".

American Blend is based on YSL's Rive Gauche and is fantastic- my all time favorite aftershave
Fresh Vetiver is based on Tom Fords Grey Vetiver so don't expect it to smell like the Guerlain version of Vetiver.
Both are fantastic performers but the American Blend is sublime.
