A foresty green classic

This is a Mediterranean herbaceous piney foresty fragrance that is unfortunately short lived, however it's great for serious collectors like me. Lol. Actually this is my favorite type of fragrance, which lies in the green barbershop fougere realm. This is definitely a cologne that fit perfectly for the era in which it was launched, which I believe was 1968. A sinfully beautiful green refreshing scent that I wish lasted longer than the 2 or maybe 3 hours it gives you. Antonio Puig built this one but this is no Quorum in terms of performance. Use it after you shower and splash it all over LIBERALLY! You won't break the bank when you purchase it so I guess that's a plus. It reminds me of the beautiful but underrated Acqua di Selva, which was my very first Cologne. A unique and very masculine dry herbal product that must be almost constantly reapplied which gets annoying after a while so maybe it's not as cheap as I thought because you'll go through it pretty quick.
Whatever Agua Brava's shortcomings are this is still a fine Cologne. An Eau de Cologne in every sense of the word.

To my nose this also reminds me of Pino Silvestre (1955) and Silvestre EDC by Victor (1946).. It's more complex and richer with a better drydown Very bright with sunny citruses and pine with herbs and sweet cloves on a leather Oakmoss based. Perfect for a hot summer day so splash Splash SPLASH it all over... And out. :)
