Jan from Sensational-Indulgences' home made Patchouli Cologne - 1st use and this is completely beautiful stuff

How long lasting was the cologne, I'm intrigued by the price but worried they just won't last.

How long lasting was the cologne, I'm intrigued by the price but worried they just won't last.

Personally I got a good 4-5 hours out of this so far and I can still sense the scent as being there on my chest


P.S. Nice Pic

MamaBear's Diogenes Club SS
Speick AS

Mmm...great shave this morning...MB's soaps are so very slick and cushiony...just perfect...and the diogenes club scent is amazing (IMHO). A bonus: it doesn't irritate my face!

As usual, the Speick AS is awesome stuff.
