Remember to forget me!
Shave complete, and aftershave gel would be the best description for the P&B Spitfire. Having now read the ingredients and seen Aloe Barbadensis extract as the first ingredient, that makes a lot of sense.
Very easy to apply and absorbs well. Non-greasy. The scent really caught me off guard.
I knew it was leather, tobacco and juniper, so I expected more subtlety than what I got. As I first raised my hands to my face, I was hit with something strong and medicinal. More wintergreen (root beer) than gin, to start with at least. Once applied, that mellows nicely, and the other scents start coming through. I can detect the tobacco an leather elements, but it evokes other stuff too. Chocolate, cough sweets, heavy machine shops, and a hint of dentist. I like it!
It's still more balm than lotion in my book though, so at some point, I'll be adding a bottle of what many here simply call splash. Not until I've given each of those samples a try though.
