Even though I'm new to wet shaving this year I have tried a decent amount of aftershaves and smelled to many to remember lol. Here is my 36 year old opinion on different aftershave scents.
Balms:
Nivea and lucky tiger both were nice mild citrus scents. I liked both the balms but I head shave and have oily skin so balms leave me too oily. if I didn't need an alcohol based aftershave I would use these two more often.
Aftershaves.
FINE- Platinum- awesome scent, smells like aventus
grey vetiver- another good scent, pretty universal to me
L'orange noir- good citrus woodys scent. good example of hermes
barbershop- I liked it better then I thought I would. I rank it as ok
green vetiver- I didn't care for
santal- not for me
lavender- also not for me
Stirling- sharp dressed man- great example of GIT.
bay rum- found out I don't like bay rum
stirling gentleman- not for me
island man- smelled too girlie
dunshire- smelled close to ADG
Captains choice- Lime- ok to me, has a bay rum kick to it. I'm not into bay rum
chiseled face- bananas- smells like bananas, way to fruity for me though
ghost town barber- on the fence, unique scent, still deciding
Sherlock- liked a lot. reminds me on burberry London
cryogen- smells like icey hot. enough said
blackship grooming- captains pipe- wow smells like pipe but to over powering for me
I liked a couple of blackships other aftershaves but cant remember which ones .
mickey lee- kracken- decent scent
grand Havana- couldn't smell much. needed stronger scent
drunken goat- oatmeal cookie not for me
Maggards- tobacco and leather- smelled like a new leather couch, didn't smell tobacco
maggards other scents were nice just not for me though
I smelled a lot of aftershaves at maggards so I'm sure there are lots of them that I forgot. ill add if they come to me. maggards was a great store and great people working there. it was definitely worth going there. I highly recommend them.
My top 5 as of now
1. fine platinum
2. stirling sharp dressed man
3. chiseled face Sherlock
4. fine grey vetiver
5. fine l'orange noir
