Good evening chaps. I rarely post here in the frags forum because I am not a huge fragrance guy. I like them and have a decent assortment of good aftershaves and a few edts. One of those is Trumper Eucris. This looks like an old time scent due to packaging but I believe it was introduced in the early 1980's. Irregardless it is one fine scent. It lists black currant as a note but most do not realise it is the fragrance of the leaves or flowers or whatever currant bushes produce rather than their fruit. It is a blast of herbaceous goodness. Well without thinking I splashed out an amount more suited to aftershave use. Oh boy. I wasn't about to waste it by pouring it off my hand so just splashed it all around my face and neck. It blasted all right. But a funny thing happened. My youngest daughter, who rarely gives any approval to anything I do, told me it was just right. Hmmm. I was prepared to wash off some excess but since she pronounced it okay I left it on. So with some trepidation I attended church and was immediately complimented by two ladies who thought it smashing good. After a thorough round of "please tell me if this is too strong?" routine, I did not wash it off and no one was doing the air sniff to see who 'that guy' was. Trumper strikes again.
You know, I have been as hard on Trumper as anyone. They have right bollocksed their shave soap and discontinued some superior items like Wild Fern a/s splash. However, I appreciate their traditional smelling fragrances. They are so completely different to all the newer stuff from the 90's forward. You usually do not see Trumper descriptions as containing "ozone and oceanic accords". This latter category of scent is so ubiquitous I come near nausea to smell them anymore. Thank goodness for some semblance of old school scents. It may not be Edwardian but it is way ahead of latter day department store scents.
Cheers, Todd
