Longevity A/S

[coffee4me]

How important is Aftershave longevity to you ?
It sometimes disappoints me that some Aftershaves are completely gone after less than 1 hour.
Or do you just use the Aftershave for healing/soothing purposes and not care about the longevity ?

The best thing about aftershaves is that they don't hang around. You get a pleasant, strong smell to wake you up in the morning, but by the time you get to work you only have a very mild whiff of scent about you, up close. Who wants to be the bloke at work who's fragrance yells HERE I AM!!! before he gets through the door? If you want a scent to stay all day, apply cologne before you put your shirt on. That way it doesn't fade, but the scent stays close to your body. There are few things worse than people who's fragrance reaches out way beyond their personal space and intrudes on other peoples.

You took the words right out of my mouth, right down to the shirt recommendation for the colognes. I really can't add to that.
