Well, I had read a lot about the Victorian Limes here and I like the T&H West Indian Limes but it only lasts on me for about 3-4 hours if I do a prep with lotion on the area where cologne is to be applied. It's great and I'll eventually order the shaving cream, ASB, and the cologne (probably later this month) from T&H as I like the West Indian Limes so much.
The TOBS scent was ordered from West Coast Shaving about 3 or so weeks ago (it was back ordered, alas, and I had to wait a while. John and Christine were super apologetic, friendly, and understanding since I was a bit nervous and anxious). I was trying it out since a lady I know loves it when I wear citrus colognes and she liked the West Indian Limes but it lacks staying power for me to use on without such prepping. It arrived yesterday, just in time for me to use it before meeting with my friend today. TOBS has a great product in No. 74 Victorian Limes, it has that nice strong lime scent going on and it does fade but doesn't go away. Then a softer lime scent lingers and there are some nice floral notes (someone in a review mentioned fuschia, which is nice). Does anyone know which other scents can be discerned? It's slightly sweet and floral with that lime but I can't figure out what exactly I'm smelling other than that it is splendid.
I wore it today on my date with my aforementioned lady friend and she commented on the new scent and how it trumped my last lime cologne (though she does like both). I'm glad my cologne came in time and this is hugely due to WCS and their great customer service (they were very patient with my anxiousness). I definitely will keep a bottle of this in my collection and I know I will buy it and any other TOBS product from WCS from now on.
