Trumper's Spanish Leather=Better Than I Thought

[The Nid Hog]

I've posted before that I thought that Trumper's Spanish Leather smelled like some kind of fiendish concoction highlighted by a foul whiff of rancid balsamic vinegar. Well, I'd like to retract that. I tried some from a new bottle this weekend and I like it. Maybe my sample was skunked? My apologies to anybody who threw out their bottle or in any other way changed their life because of my comments. I will try to be more circumspect in the future.

I just got the aftershave (wearing it today in fact) and think it's delightful

It grew on me too. I like it a lot more now than I did when I first got it, but ever since I read a review where someone said it reminded them of dog flea shampoo, I can't help smelling that every time I put my nose to it. At least initially.

That was me

It grew on me, though. I think it's a pretty damn good scent now. Weird.

I think it's a great fragrance.

I enjoy dabbing some of it from my sample after I use some sandalwood soap or cream. Can't bring myself to spring for a full bottle though.

Yet.

I am in the process of ordering some of this Spanish Leather AS (haven't smelt it before but if its good enough for the majority here at B&B, then how can i go wrong!); What shaving soap do you guys use to compliment the scent of this AS??

i used it with tabac today, but honestly i don't usually worry about pairing soap and aftershaves.

great aftershave and scent, but not a lot of skin goodies. that's fine with me, though--i have speick, musgo and proraso when i need those!

GFT Spanish Leather has been my all time favorite for quite some time now. Good juice.

+1!!!
Love the stuff!! I also need to get a bottle of the cologne!

 

[john.crissman]

I really, really like this stuff. I'm wearing it today also. Perfect blend of light spice, musk and lavender. Ahhh.

I got a sample of it, along with several others, from Trumpers a few days ago. I do like the scent, but not as much as T&H Spanish Leather. The Trumpers is really faint on my skin.

 

[Dandaman]

I have the T&H version and like it. Anyone know how it compares to Trumpers?

TESC has the cologne in a plastic travel bottle. It's costs less in plastic than it does in glass. Would the plastic somehow interact with the fragrance over time, though?

I saw that on the on line store too. I bet if you advertised on the BST somebody would have an empty bottle that you could use to decant it.

I have sampled both, and bought T&H. But for a strange reason! T&H, to me, is more spice and very little leather; not unlike the scent of D.R. Harris sandalwood aftershave. Trumper's has more of a leather smell. I like the spice! John

It's a totally different animal.

That was my thought exactly. I really like the spice in the T&H.

That's a great idea. Thanks.
