What Cologne or Aftershave smells like C. O. Bigelow Saving Cream?

If I could have that Eucalyptus and Menthol scent stay with me all day it would be fantastic. Does Proraso After Shave Refreshing and Toning Formula come close?

 

[Wingnut]

As far as aftershaves go, give the Proraso splash a try. It's not a perfect match, but it's very close and compliments it quite nicely.

Just a thought...

Never smelled it, but came to mind because I have seen it in a store before.

proraso? osage rub?

Eucalyptus is a fleeting note and therefore doesn't hang on skin all day, even when used in EdT or cologne, which it infrequently is. Some fragrances that use it to good effect are (in descending order of sweetness)

Penhaligon's Elixir
YSL Body Kouros
Lacoste Booster

The last frag on the list is the only one that in any way echoes the menthol-medicinal thing without winding up sweet on the skin when it dries down. It's also cheap. Worth trying at least IMO for those who love the eucalyptus scent (as I do). Ultimately, though, just know eucalyptus is fleeting and won't be there at the end of the day.

Thanks so much, these recommendations certainly sound good.

I was considering the Proraso for obvious resaons. It's great to have confirmation.

Your other suggestions are now on my list and I'll start working my way through them.

Elixir Green by CO Bigelow Not exactly the same, but close and just very fresh and clean smelling.
