Tabac Original by Mäurer & Wirtz

This is an inexpensive classic - the top note is the best - SOAPY - THE best mid price men's scent - the EDT is not as good as the aftershave - one of the best bottles around too - lovely "sprinkler" The drydown goes a bit powdery though - when I run out of this guess what I'll do......................................

Oxygene Homme by Lanvin

very fresh with a fruity marine note. I can smell the coriander in the top note clearly. Not too long lasting though. Similar to Happy for men. Still - it's well worthy of a squirt
