378 Alpa Voda po holení

The Barber from the Neighboring Country
Rrrrtsch - no, a rusty, dull knife is certainly not what our barber would use, but if he did, he would surely have confidently grabbed the Alpa 378 and generously spread it over the moist, open wounds.
But even after a successful shave, this brew is by no means a misstep, as it transports you through its scent to long-gone times, a lovely side effect besides the caring and disinfecting components.
It is claimed that 378 smells like the very old Irish Moss, which I cannot confirm or deny due to a lack of Irish Moss.
378 opens with a disinfecting minty note, quickly followed by some herbs and wood, accompanied by a hint of musk that is soon dusted with a light powder.
Completely satisfied, you leave the barbershop and take one last glance at the pomade jars on display as you exit.
The longevity is typically limited for a cologne, and there is hardly anything to say about the sillage, but you will still be able to perceive the 378 on yourself for a while longer if you take a closer sniff.
A lovely retro trip for all those who do not want to use modern aftershaves (anymore) and feel mature enough for such a similarly mature scent.

Thanks for the sample, Schmörkes. Yes, pure barbershop, a bit like the Portuguese classics (Musgo Real, etc.).
