C.O Bigelow

A product that I liked a lot this summer was C.O. BIGELOW no. 1674 All-in-one protective day lotion SPF 25. I was non greasy, odorless, and very easy to spread. What was not easy was getting it out of the pump action container. It worked well to about halfway down, then the pump stopped working and the product just would not flow easily out of the container. I would buy this product if it came in a different container.

And more after shaving products

I've recently tried 3 Bond No. 9 products: Little Italy, Sack's 5th Avenue, and Harrods for him. I'm sure they are all quality products, bu I found the aroma of Little Italy and 5th Avenue to be too much herb and floral for my taste. I would not buy these products for myself. But the Harrods had a very masculine scent and lasting power. I would buy the Harrods--liked the aroma and was complimented on it several times.

One other product that I did like was DIESEL Only the brave. It also has a very masculine aroma and feel (sting on the face) and had lasting power.

Aftershave Lotions

FROM TONY:

I have tried the following eau de toilette and have been told that they really all pour homme.
I liked them all to various degrees except for Dirty English-- I found it too musky.
The following had fruity scents that I was neutral to:
L'ArtisanParfumeurDzongkha
L'ArtisanParfumeurPremier Figuier
L'ArtisanParfumeur Fou D'Abisinthe
L'ArtisanParfumeur Menchant Loup
L'ArtisanParfumeur L'Eau D'Ambre

The following I like more since they were scented in a more traditional manner:
Yve Saint Laurent l'Homme
Gris Clair Serge Luten
Lubin LeVetiver
Lutens Chypre Rouge
Calvin Kline Euphoria
Lubin Idole

What I really like in aftershave lotion is Jade East--a throw back to the 60's, so don't take this blog too seriously since as you can see I have no taste.
What I did buy last week (with a gift card, and I'm running low on Jade East) is Prada Amber Pour Homme. It has a great but subtle manly scent, even if it is a spray bottle (not manly), and now I can joke that the Devil does wear Prada.
