Aftershave journey part 12 - Moss classics for planed skin
I have to admit that besides niche fragrances & some designers (in the future towards Eau Sauvage & co) I find some (general) classics appealing, in my opinion I want to cover many categories in my diverse collection and the range of classics (often very affordable) is one of them.
I have Sir Irish Moss both as an EDT (you can read the review here, even if it comes to a comparison) and in this case as an aftershave.
And yes, it may not be too modern to wear such an after shave, and yes, the "panty-dropper seekers" can say goodbye here "superficially" - I still wonder how you can think how you can seduce a lady based on a fragrance or even scare off ladies, as I was once told ... but I'll leave that for now or maybe one or the other lady might comment on her opinion. I assume that a fragrance does not play the first role, perhaps it can arouse curiosity - but a fragrance is also good if it emphasizes a character or a moment and what I believe even more, if you feel comfortable with a fragrance, then you carry this rather to the outside.
But let's get back to the topic... Sir Irish Moss After Shave goes in the category of classics as well as my aftershave faction.
When applying, I have a massaging feeling on the skin, at the same time "naturally refreshing in the sense of a nature trip". Very compatible & harmonious whether I use my Tabac shaving soap or my Cella shaving soap (with a lovely marzipan scent, by the way).
Compared to the EDT, I have the feeling that the fragrance is a little darker and more intense, i.e. more woody and mossy, and I also notice that the fragrance is less sweet overall, at least on my (planed, razor-shaved) skin, which I think is sometimes the biggest noticeable difference.
I also perceive woody flowers and soapy branches, with a slightly rustic powdery note in the background.
And yes, some would now say Team AS or EDT, I would first use the aftershave when shaving in the morning (in the forest, of course) and then the eau de toilette for a forest excursion.
After the Floid, this was my next aftershave trip in a very short space of time.
Feel free to comment on which shaving lotions I absolutely have to test for this review series.
And which shaving soaps I should definitely use!
Finally, I don't know yet whether I'll write a review next week, as I have my written final exams including overnight stays in a hotel and you never know how you'll be after the exams... Statements will probably be possible.
Thank you very much for reading!
P.S: Have a great time shaving, planing and/or enjoying yourself in general.
