Oh dear, aftershave splash pool. I'd rather let others splash around in it :-D

I don't think it's that bad, but it's a bit too vague and wishy-washy for me.

The shadow too. Remember our heavenly witchy, yellow-green Silphium? The rest: shallow crap. @Verbena

The business is tough. Pleasant scents probably sell more easily. It's often a phenomenon - after a spectacular launch, almost every brand tends to drift into shallow waters. @Verbena

P.S. I always regret it when independent brands that start off strong try to adapt in the end. 馃槙 @Seejungfrau

Big disappointment, the scent. Just a mix of random pieces. But at least it inspired you for the Sauventus scale. 馃槏

I don't really perceive much from the mild, pleasingly familiar breeze.
A bit of citrus/sweet creamy Hedione powder.
Artificial wood, vetiver, forget-me-nots, along with a hint of shower freshness. Brand - yellow-green.
The scent doesn't hurt. It's just too insignificant.
I don't know what bothers me more: the promising marketing text (I'm thinking of Skuggan's witch ointment) or the decline of a once outstanding brand.
I'm definitely missing the pepper here.

I only know Eau Sauvage from the Putting Green/Omerta twin.
Aventus was... nice :D!
Here's the AlzD text on
Beaufort London - Absent Presence
#The fifth and final part of the Revenants collection is inspired by the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney. In his sonnet sequence "Astrophel and Stella," Sidney describes the essence of a ghost - the presence of a person that you always feel but never see.
"Now I am, long plagued by the heaviest fate,
So weary that I cannot see,
The reason for this ugly love and lovely hate,
Then teach me, a good man, to endure him,
Whose presence is absence, absent presence;
Blessed in my curse and cursed in my bliss."

The next brand has reached the nucleus of insignificance. Eventually, it seems to hit - almost - everyone. Aftershave vibe? Real men let it burn, like with C艙ur de Noir.
