Hi folks, I've been searching Reddit, this forum, Google, etc., and haven't really found an answer for my question, so here goes:
I've been shaving with Stirling Dunshire soap for a little while and I'm really enjoying it. It inspired me to go to the mall and check out the perfume it's based on. I'm finding that Dunshire has an excellent fruity blast in its opening and the jasmine heart seems to last a long time. Acqua di Gio smells pretty similar when sprayed at too-close range onto a sample card... but when applied properly onto my skin I found it just turned into a sort of "fresh laundry" cologne scent very quickly and had none of the sweetness that I enjoy when I use the Dunshire soap.
I prefer the sweetness of the soap over the real thing, and if the Dunshire EdT smelled the same way I think I'd rather wear that than the Georgio Armani! Does anybody know if the Dunshire aftershave / EdT have that same vibe, or do they lean more toward the dryer-sheets scent of the original perfume? I know that the soaps and EdT's don't typically smell quite the same. I can't get samples for the EdT in Canada and I don't know if I want to buy a whole bottle of it blind.
