Gents-- I've been wearing the B&B cologne sample all week and I've formed some additional impressions.
After its been on me a couple of hours it settles into a mostly woody fragrance; the citrus and spice notes pretty much disappear from my nose. I don't know how Charles did it, but he struck a great balance between subtleness and longevity: the scent lingers much of the day, at least through mid-afternoon, but its subtle and not overpowering early-on. The experience with B&B makes me want to try his Special 218 scent!
I like B&B as a cologne. I don't think I'd care for it as a shaving scent, though that is a strictly personal opinon!
