The best aftershave ever?
Well - yes. The last time I used this treasure was in the late 80s. Somehow it had been forgotten, this fantastic scent. A single mini was all I possessed. Driven by the thought of wanting to own an OF from all my 10.0 fragrances, I recently went on a search...

Damn, as EdT - if at all - it is only available at prices beyond EUR 200/100 ml. But - what is this? It seems there are still (probably very few) bottles of the aftershave available, and at prices that won't make you choke (well, at least only for a moment...). And yes, I had this back then too, and it stood out to me due to its outstanding care properties...

So, I ordered. And indeed, the savior appeared. This AS can walk on water. The grandiose scent notes of the EdT (lots of leather meets plenty of mint) are reproduced 1:1 in the AS, and the cooling and caring effect after shaving is simply sensational. It must be due to this mysterious Karitol, why has this ingredient never become standard in aftershaves?

Leather cannot be interpreted better for me. Amen. Another bottle of the AS is already on its way to me...

the edt is no longer available at a reasonable price. the aftershave has the same amazing DNA! I'm over the moon.

PERFECTION. Finally back in my possession (last had it in the late 80s). The best leather scent ever? Probably.
