But I heard about Scents to Surrender here from another post by BB user.
Is there a link to that resource? I googled but didn't find anything. I did find a site called surrender to chance.

They make AS? didn't know that.Just picked up a vintage bottle of Aspen AS from an antique store and the scent is fantastic!
Can't compare it to GIT or SDM as I've never used those. But on fragrance websites I am reading the comparisons to both GIT and Cool Water.
To clarify some confusion, the most famous "clone" of the GIT is Davidoff Cool Water, which launched back in late '80s and has been one of the all time best seller men's fragrances. After 30 years of sales Cool Water is still worn by millions of men around the world, myself included. It is ubiquitously available online, as well as in any brick & mortar cosmetics shop. Price wise, the SDM is about on par with Davidoff Cool Water and they both smell like GIT.
If you like GIT, go for the DCW, you can't go wrong.
I think it's closer to Gaelic Tweed. Not too far from Sharp Dressed Man, though. My only issue with Tres Nuit is longevity. It doesn't stick around for very long.My big question: how does Tres Nuit compare to SDM? My CW is running low and I‘m debating whether to replace with SDM or Armaf.

When I wore it, I used to buy my GIT from Fragrancenet.com. Good pricing on the real stuff.
BTW, I didn't know Cool Water was an analog of GIT. Interesting.
I disagree. Related scents, but I find Sharp Dressed Man and a few of the other dupes to be much closer to GIT than Cool Water.Not only are GIT and Cool Water nearly analogues, they were created by the same perfumer. GIT in ‘85 and CW in ‘88. Cool Water has an aquatic vibe with a little mint, but they are very similar. Cool Water is just fine by me, always availabLe and always inexpensive at the rack stores.
Rod over at Stirling makes some wonderful products and some nice clones, but they pale in complexity to established house recipes. They don’t dry down nearly the same and they don’t really last very long.
For $25 I’d rather have 100 mil of Cool Water than 50 mil of Stirling.
But also be sure to get yourself some of that SDM aftershave with menthol and you’ll be all set.
Okay. You're a sharp dressed man!Sharp Dressed Man. I always wanted to be called that.
Thanks Bill, you say all the right things.Okay. You're a sharp dressed man!
I didn’t mean they were identical, but they are clearly cut from the same cloth.I disagree. Related scents, but I find Sharp Dressed Man and a few of the other dupes to be much closer to GIT than Cool Water.
