I got a free sample from Shaving Essentials and used some today. I love the scent. Anyone else tried this and liked it?

No but I've been wanting to try the cologne for a while now. How is the scent of the aftershave?
Yes, I have the cologne, aftershave, shave cream, and shave stick. It's good stuff. The aftershave is very similar to the cologne.
Have had my eye on it for a while!!
Just got a travel size tube - will be trying it out first thing in the morning. LOVE the scent...

Hints of tobacco and old leather followed by coffee and wet dirt - oh sorry. That was a wine review I was just reading.
I'm really bad at picking out the individual scents in AS and cologne. All I can say is I like it a lot but I can't think of another brand it is similar to. Sorry about that.
I didn't like it at first, but this one has really grown on me. I think it is in the same genre as AV and Polar Ice, not because of it's blue tint, rather due to the menthol and similar notes during drydown. I have found it to be more crisp and longer lasting than either of them.
I think it would be fair to characterize it as TOBS' interpretation of AV. It is a classy and crisp menthol AS.

the St. James shave cream reminds me of the smell of old Nautica in the aqua coloured glass bottle.
Love the scent. Hate the burn. Worse than any other splash I've tried (even after superhazel).
Tried some on a recent trip to London's in Charlottesville...good stuff!
I just got a sample from Shaving Essentials with my last order. I haven't tried it yet, but it smells pretty good.

I've really grown to enjoy the sent. I think I'm going to buy a bottle. I might try some Jermyn St. as well.
