And I had stopped after all.
I have to say, the Brooklyn Soap Company surprised me.
There was something tragic-comic about me, as a 28-year-old milk boy without a hint of a beard, testing fragrances from a brand that mostly sells beard care products.
I was very afraid that everything I would be presented with would be masculine, brutal barbershop fragrances.
But I was wrong.
But the reason why I'm reviewing the one I like the least is that the others are all okay, but nothing earth-shattering.
But this one is annoyingly unsuccessful.
First the tobacco doesn't come through at all.
It starts with a dry saffron, with a few spices and something green and woody that I can't place.
Everything I've seen before, nothing new.
Then it continues and the tobacco comes in, but it somehow seems very cheap.
There's also a slight hint of licorice around the corner.
And when it has had a little time, it becomes....naja.... Cigarette tobacco.
I smoked Lucky Strike for 13 years and after a while this fragrance smells as if I had just opened the packet of fags.
The tobacco seems downright cheap, the other notes in the base don't stand a chance.
I really like the smell of tobacco but everyone, even smokers, tell you that cigarette tobacco is the one that smells the
least pleasant smelling.
And that breaks the fragrance.
It lingers well on the skin, but doesn't radiate very far.
For me, it's no good at all.
