June 28, 2023 – US Old Spice
I was going to write a bit about how I realized I actually hadn’t used US Old Spice in years after being in CVS and buying a bottle because it was on sale but… that’s pretty much the entire story. Still smells different (not bad) and still leaves my face feeling a bit dryer.
However, I almost didn’t splash any Old Spice on at all because the scent of Bon Monsieur, which I picked up as a sample at Maggards Meetup is so damn stellar. I really, really like this one despite not being the biggest fan of most fougeres. I’m not sure why this one works so well for me but I pick up the fir in it and that always wins me over so maybe that’s it. Just stellar.
First time using the Sego base as well and it lathered well, though I’m regretting using my MOAR Boar on it since it ate up like 1/4 of the sample and now i have less of a scent I really like.
