    Default Aqua Velva

    Received a bottle of this juice in a trade the other day, and used it for the first time this morning. WOW! Menthol blast or what? I went out to the butchers before brekkie to get my bacon and eggs, my face felt freezing! Scent is indeed very American- brash and loud, I'm getting citrus and peppermint, with lavender and maybe lemon balm. Base seems to be musk. The scent wears off very fast though- maybe a good choice for a working day? I'll review after I've used it a few more times.

    If you like that, you'll like Mennen's Skin Bracer. That was what my Dad used and hence I first used. Aqua Velva became my first personal aftershave. Memories!

    I haven't uses AV in years, but your post just reminded me to go out and buy some before I get stuck with a crappy plastic bottle.

    Every day that i use AV as after shave i always find myself during the day going back in the bathroom to apply more AV.
    It's addictive for me.

    I took a whiff of the AV Original Sport (GREEN) this morning


    I have a HUGE glass bottle

    However, I use it as a light cologne, because it`s too drying as an AS

    Also VERY cooling as a body splash; just splash on your chest, wait a few seconds, and woozah !

    Well, it's time for confessions, so I admit that I use way more splash than necessary, but I just love the cooling effect and the scent
