I bought a sample from Maggard’s just to see what all the fuss is about. Wow. I felt like the kid from Home Alone. It certainly wakes you up!! Well, after my initial shock, it calmed down and made my face feel really nice. The scent seems very similar to my bottle of Barbary Coast Bay Rum. Lots of clove. However, “Cat” lasted a long time- much more than BCBR. I definitely liked it enough to buy a bottle. That sting seems pretty unique. What is that? Is it a super high level of menthol? I really like Barbary Coast. It’s more subtle, but that ZING from Cat-o’-nine-tails seems addicting.
