Thanks to the generosity of Scott at Captain's Choice, I received a bottle of Venture balm as part of the guess the name contest. Along with the prize, he added a small vial of the soon-to-be-released Land Ho! aftershave. I am happy to provide my thoughts after using it..
Land Ho! is a "fougere-like fragrance" as the Captain describes it. My sniffer is not very sophisticated so all I can say is that it is a very clean scent, citrusy at first followed by an earthy smell of fern. It is light and I only get hints of it throughout the day. But that is how I prefer my aftershave anyway. In the end, this is a very nice scent that I look forward to purchasing when it comes out. His Bay Rum and Venture are my favorites, but Land Ho! is right up there with his best scents.

It turns out the Captain will be releasing two versions as a result of tester response, see this link
Land Ho! and Land Ho! Reserve
