Brut Splash On Lotion, Fresh, 200 ml

Product Information

BRUT is one of the most classic and authentic barbershop smells you can find ,and its aromatic qualities ,sweet and wet talcum powder vibe ,subtle herbals and smooth over all effect declares it one of the best of its genre . Brut classic/original is so versatile and lovable and im gonna wear this big time this upcoming vacation. (splash n stay fresh all day) Brut Splash On, though some men do choose to use this as an aftershave, is not designed specifically for this purpose and doesn’t contain any menthol. The splash is very watered down and almost not detecable when splashed on your body but thats my opinion.

This just smell like hand cream on top notes smell ı really don't like it has lemon and citrus opening is too bad to me. Once the citrus notes fade away I noticed middle and especially base notes way better that turns a bit like barbershop smell thats not bad ı love barbershop smell clean well groomed kind of shaving foam smells love it. From giving it a whirl lately, I can say it still smells pretty much the same although a bit tamer than I remember. Performance wise is about the usual for EDT-concentrations of this age. BRUT has a short-lived sting after a rough shave, but it's tolerable and doesn't last very long. Worse than Skin Bracer, milder than Aqua Velva. That said, it does absolutely nothing to soothe or cool my skin: as usual, I used it on one side of my face and left the other bare, and I really couldn't tell the difference between the two sides of my face post-shave. The ingredient list for the aftershave mentions menthol but it must be an extremely minute dose for it to have no observable effect. I had to wait a long time to review Brut, not that I dislike it or anything, but because I had to learn how to distance myself from it.By steps, and to start with, Brut is possibly- as many from the X generation- a first memory, an imprinting feel hardwired in the collective imaginary. This was the quintessential perfume for male, beloved son of a grand French tradition, conjuring lush undertones as from the bois in the outskirts of Paris (please have a walk in a French Forest and you will understand). Distilled from extracting genial ideas and discernment from Karl Mann, and Cary Grant’s commitment, casted an aura of refinement and became music for the masses, without losing charme - and this as the middle class and the bourgeoisie spirit was well alive in the ‘60es and decades thereafter, and a cologne could have been niche while widely distributed. This is for sure part of the spell. The ladies could immediately identify it as archetypical Fougere male odour, and men use it with confidence as signature- so personal while so well distributed and accessible.

There is something kind of clashing in the blend of fresh, sweet, musky and medicinal, but that may well be part of the appeal, depending on your perspective. Personally, I can only wear this in spring... During any other month it does not mesh gracefully with my surroundings. Overall, I have a funny feeling people appreciate this (when you've applied it moderately) more than they realize.Although that’s the short answer, let’s go through the main differences between these two variations of fragrance in more detail, and also go through how to choose between them. The propylene glycol acts to slow down the evaporation of alcohol by allowing the fragrance oils to be dissolved within the alcohol carrier, so it follows that if the alcohol content is higher then this evaporation is likely to be less. When I was young and foolish, I used to give Brut and any similar priced fragrance a wide berth, cause I was kinda embarassed to admit that I was wearing cheap stuff. I always went for the status of smelling "expensive", and to my vainglorious mind, a fragrance's price tag was way more important than its actual quality. this is the perfect environment for me to enjoy brut and other classics ,im enjoying Classic fragrances in the same way from years.
