Has anyone tried this yet? I have used Nancy Boy's Signature bath soap and shaving cream, and to me, the scent is similar to C&S Oxford & Cambridge. For what it is, I have a hard time stomaching the cost of the C&S (I've just been using a sample), and I'm wondering if the Nancy Boy would make a good substitute.

Oh I want to try it BAD!!
I don't understand why I am so...underwhelmed by their signature scent. I like all three scent components, I even like my Aveda rosemary mint shampoo, but for some reason, I just can't accept mint and lavender together in the same scent. Then again, I did not care for O&C either, so maybe you have hit on a trend for me.

Well, I guess this is too new for anyone to have tried it yet. I bit the bullet and ordered some since it is free to Club members in July.
I bought some and it does smell great, just like the cream, but it isn't for me.
I bought it. Tried it out on my dance partner last Friday. She loved it. I've tried 16 different colognes on her and she has only complimented on three. The other two being Ogallala Bay Rum and MaMa Bear's Chypre Rose. I really enjoy the scent myself. I'll be buying more when this runs out.
I somehow imagined that you were spraying all these colognes on her until I ran it through the processors again.
Now that you mention it, Bay Rum is the only scent my wife has ever outright noticed and complimented me on. Which is a good thing, because I just ran out of my sample bottle
. Hello, impending SWMBO-initiated shave purchase!
Just wanted to chime in on this one. I purchased some over the weekend and it arrived yesterday afternoon. The scent is spot-on. It is subtle but long-lasting on my skin and I have already gotten a number of compliments on it. The body spray also has a nice cooling sensation on my skin which lasts for about an hour- a welcome surprise for my commutes to work in the hot and muggy Washington DC mornings. Two thumbs up.
That cooling sensation is..... cool!
It's a bit feminine, in comparison to what I normally wear, but I am liking it.

I've been using mine pretty frequently. The mint note is quite pronounced, and I definitely don't care for the cooling sensation that it causes. Definitely not something I'll be wearing in winter, but I think it's more of a summer thing anyway. As a comparison to Oxford & Cambridge, I would say they are pretty similar once the Nancy Boy has dried down some. The initial mint blast in the Nancy Boy makes it more harsh/medicinal whereas by contrast O&C seems lighter and sweeter. Both last a long time for me (longer than the advertised 3-4 hours for the Nancy Boy), and given the price, I would say Nancy Boy is a pretty good substitution. For what it is, I'm not sure I'll be able to shell out $115 for the O&C, but my sample is running low.
I put on a bunch of O&C yesterday. To me it smells SOOOO much like Nancy Boy. They NB certainly is a great deal compared to O&C.
