Something that smells like...

[gregdreg]

Hello gents,
I just got a bottle of proraso AS splash, opened it up took a whiff and WOW this stuff smells AWESOME!!!!!! after doing some research I understand they do not make a proraso EDT so here's my question do you guys know of anything that smells similar to this stuff? Thanks for the help. Greg

Never smelled it but I'm certainly intrigued now.

Please do, I got to use it this morning and I a VERY impressed, this is the first AS that I have used that contains alcohol. I applied it after my shave and it stung a bit and then WOOSH the cooling effect kicked in it felt so good it even made my eyes water and I am happy to say that the scent has lingered on my face for a good part of the day too.

Well, prior to smelling it, I might suggest a few minty mentholated scents off top for you:

Creed's Selection Verte (mints, lime, lemon, mandarin, white pepper, clove, sweet pea) [one of my all-time favorite scents]

Creed's Green Valley (wild mints, violet leaf, ginger, woods, and patchouli)

Heeley's menthe Fraiche (a unisex/fresh mint scent, with great mint topnotes, slight raspberry note I dislike)

Jacques Fath Green Water (mint/menthol, citrus, greens/herbs, and oakmoss) [the older formulations have more oakmoss, newer formulations more grassiness)

Lacoste Booster (very interesting wintergreen and eucalyptus scent)

Cartier Roadster (MINT-chocalate chip ice cream + woods, not to my liking)

Oxford & Cambridge by C&S (Minty lavender)

Guerlain Herba Fresca & Mentafollia (both very fresh unisex mint MINT MINT!)

i tend to really like mentholated & minty scents, if you couldn't tell. I'm sure this proraso will interest me.

Awesome thanks for the suggestions, are most of these available in stores? If not do you know where I can score some samples.

All the creeds can be tested at your nearest nieman marcus or maybe Saks.
Most of the others you can find at perfume shops, except the Oxford & Cambridge and Jacques Fath Green Water, but samples of both are prevalent online.

Cool, looks like I'm going to the mall tomorrow. Thanks again.
