If only it lasted longer...
I fail to understand how one could dislike this, it's such a simple and refined formula. Yes, it won't win awards for originality and it's certainly not daring but it's a well made, clean, classy citrus/ oceanic that can be worn in any situation and like all the classic old English barbershop brands, it's relatively inexpensive. It is vaguely similar to L'eau D'Issey but without the sneeze-inducing top notes.

Very (very) similar to L'eau D' Issey Pour Homme.
Not identical, but could quite easily be mistaken. Dry down is not so spectacular, but remains similar.
A little less intense, and lightly less sweet/musky, and therefore a tad less potential to overapply - but overall a very similar effect.
Maybe .. all in all - not a bad thing.
Issey 'light'.?!

I really liked it.

This purports to be an aquatic and it does have an aquatic character. It also prominently features cardamom, which strikes me as a dead weight here (it isn’t my favorite note, but it certainly is blended effectively in numerous fragrances). At any rate, I don’t like this one.

What a weak offering. Too subtle for anyone notice and worse yet it just dies a quick death. There is nothing marine about this cologne, I get teas, I get citrus, and I get woods that's about it, maybe an tinge of ozone but the cologne is so light it might as well not be there because you will have spray it up your nose to catch it.

What's that? You say you love the scent of L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme but that its humorless bottle and funny name are jarring to your anglophilic sensibilities? No problem--you have T&H's "1805." It doesn't have the staying power of Issey, but it's a nice, clean fragrance with a name you can pronounce.

Nice green/citrusy scent with supporting wood notes of cedar and sandalwood. Despite being a cologne strength it's a good one. Meaning even though it doesn't last long, it's quite pleasant. Marine and aquatic, it gets the point across.
