Taylors No 74 Original Aftershave
[attachment=3105]
Taylor's of Old Bond Street No 74 aftershave is a distinctive classic scent.
The fragrance has notes of orange, lime and bergamot with undertones of rose, lilac and a sweet musk.
This is an alcohol based splash with menthol that provides me with a sting with every application to my freshly shaven face.
I'm reminded of disinfecting rather than being invigorating.
The fragrance is robust to begin with but quickly fades to a subtle lingering scent.
I'm left with a powdery feel to my face.
Price: Average. Around $30, which is reasonable IMO.
Quality: Good. Packaging is presentable and enduring.
Sooth Razor Burn: Good, after the initial sting, it soothes well.
Alcohol Burn: Good, this delivers a bite.
Cooling: Average. Has menthol and is cooling, but not extremely.
Moisturising: Average, as far as A/S go as it (like most) doesn't moisturise at all, but it didn't dry my skin any further either.
Scent: Average.
Staying Power: Good.
Quality: Good.
Efficacy: Good. It does exactly what it's suppose to.
(Rather than assigning numerical approximations,
I decided to score with (IMO) more useful terminology such as:
"poor, average, good, excellent.")
SWMBO dislikes this fragrance,
describing it as "old man" and rates it along side TABAC
(in terms of not enjoying the aroma, not due to any similarities in scent).
I like TABAC and I wanted to like the TOBS 74, but I don't...
