I haven't used this fragrance for quite a few months (over a year?) and just tried it again today. What a great, interesting scent. Unlike anything else, in my opinion. Anyone else enjoy this scent?

Never heard of it, never ran across it in the stores in the last several months (not that I was looking for it, but I was checking out their other fragrances), and can't find it on their web site. I would like more info. Is it a men's fragrance? Are you sure it's C&E? :confused:

Well, I really messed up this post. I meant to write: Caswell-Massey Number Six. Not Crabtree & Evelyn. Sorry about that. That's what happens when I start typing while sipping an Aberlour 12 year old scotch :blushing:

Back to the cologne... It's a blend of Bergamont, Orange Blossom, Rosemary and 27 aromatics and supposedly a favorite of George Washington. Very interesting scent that lingers all day and into the night.

I have Number Six on my radar. I have heard positive things about this cologne, although I understand Caswell-Massey has an overall mixed reputation; mostly when it comes to their soaps. I have the Number Six shave balm which works well with me. Might pick up the cologne sometime down the road.

Believe it or not, I was really into colognes a while ago.

The best one that I could wear all day and get compliments on all the time was a simple mall bought brand.

Ralph Lauren Romance Men

Been wearing it for YEARS.

I use this on a daily basis -- nice crisp masculine, understated scent. I believe it was the favorite of George Washington, according to CM marketers.
