I'm in the midst of some bad CAD and ASAD! I've been working my way through different scents, seing what works and what doesn't work (see this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=154468 )
I was in Walmart buy steaks for a Father's Day cookout and somehow I end up on the cologne aisle. Low and behold, they have 4711 on the shelf!
I snagged it up and tried it as soon as I got home. It's really pretty good. It does start off with a citronella flair, but calms down quickly, with some florals underneath. SWMBO said it was a little feminine after the dry down ( I kind of agree), but it wasn't too girly. For a scent originating in the late 1700's, I consider this one a success. My only gripe is that I've passed gas that had more staying power.
I did try an experiment this morning... I have an 'our version of....' cologne that has a nice light scent (not really a 'version' of anything), but no real complexity to it. I applied the 4711, then applied the cologne after a minute or two. The result....very nice!!! The 4711 added some needed tones underneath and the secondary cologne kind of drug the 4711 for a longer ride.
