    I own a lot of frags and some very high end ones at that.

    This is top rate shyt. Yes, it has a bit of a Barbasol aroma. Kind of like spicy Barbasol.

    It may be the most versatile scent I own. I would wear it day or night. Casual or dressy. Sweat pants. Tuxedo. Blue jeans. It would adapt to whatever.

    It's also got better than average longevity for a designer frag that's not expensive.

    It's in a little aluminum can, yes, As far as I know, it's no different than any spray frag with an atomizer. I don't think it's an aerosol. I think the "can" is just a packaging gimmick.

    It is annoying that the "can" prohibits you from seeing how much you have left.

    Thanks for posting, i don't have nearly the wardrobe that you do however, your experience mirrors mine. RGph is very versatile!

    i agree that it's a little odd not knowing how much is left, but the can also doesn't allow light in which for what it's worth preserves it better than glass.

    My main near neurosis with frags. I also have had some "cool" looking black glass bottles that cannot be penetrated by light. Ticks me off.

    I really like Clive Christian X, but it is in just such a bottle and I never repurchased.

    I bought my bottle of RG slightly used so i can fully empathize. and im not even sure how much of a benefit the light issue is however, whatever minor bonus it is is what use to justify the irritation.

    I also recently smelled the CC X and thought it was pretty darn interesting.
