Was hunting around in Wal-Mart tonight with my girl and noticed something (aside from the fusion proglide preview pack that was 9.99 for one handle and cart with some goo samples)
I have heard a few good things about the Adidas Dynamic Pulse AS Splash so I decided to check it out. The splash is located at the end of the row of AV's, Brut, etc. Upon looking at the box I assumed "ug, this looks like another clone of the Gillette Cool Wave splashes that stinks to high heaven and its just some alcohol and fragrance. However, taking it out of the box I noticed a quality bottle with a very clean label and design. Upon first wiff I thought to myself "I know this stuff...." it smells similar (NOT EXACTLY) but about 90% like my coveted Proraso splash. The scent is very light and clean and gives the impression of it going way quickly (which is what I want in a splash).
Looking at the ingredients I was completely shocked, it IS Proraso Splash, the ingredients are ALMOST EXACT. Here is the comparison:
Adidas Dynamic Pulse : Ingredients; Alcohol Denat.,L Aqua/Water/Eau, Parfum/Fragrance, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Propylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Allantoin, Menthol, Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel)
Now Proraso Splash: Alcohol Denat., Water, Propylene Glycol, Parfum, Witch HAzel Extract, allatonin, methol, hydrogenated castor oil, geraniol, some other chemicals...
As you can see, almost identical, and as I said before, the scent is also pretty close. To me I am very glad to have made this discovery because the Proraso splash is my favorite for its good healing properties and its clean light scent. The only downside to the Proraso was the price and the shipping and not getting it locally; now with Adidas, I can get my favorite splash for 4.80 and it's around the corner.
I encourage any of you who were thinking about the Proraso splash or any middle-tier splash that outperforms it's pricepoint to just pick up Adidas at WallyWorld and give it a try. Sure the brand conjures up images of sweaty basketball players instead of old Italian Grandpas...and that is a con on Adidas's part, but it's the only one I can think of.
