That Man by Revlon, 1958

This starts off with a gently refreshing lemon-bergamot note with a bit of petitgrain, that later on passes through some mild floral notions. The drydown commences after the first fifteen minutes and is characterised by wood and moss, making this a traditional barbershop fougère. Some musk hints are in the base, but they remain in the background, is never cloying, and the initial touch of gentle freshness never completely disappears. Although a very traditional barbershop scent, it lacks any real soapiness on my skin. This is a very discrete and versatile nice fragrance. Projection and silage are ok, and the longevity is very respectable at over five hours.

Revlons That Man is definitely a blast from the past It presents a gentlemanly arid herbal / wood resinous accord softened by a background of masculine mixed floral texture. Its an accord that I had enjoyed many times in the distant past and I like it even better now than I did fifty years ago. Undoubtedly masculine, and if its outdated, I certainly dont care because, as uncomplicated as it is, it smells so great. Easy to wear Easy to accomplish anywhere from subtle to powerful projection simply by adjusting the amount applied... Linear Moderate longevity Another wonderful classic drugstore fragrance that I wish was still in production.

The header states that this is in production, but I'm not sure that's accurate. It is, however, available via ebay. Definitely of the old school, it's Revlon's best man's scent. It is unlike anything in the current mainstream marketplace, although it is in the vein of British Sterling or Jovan Sex Appeal, both of which are still available. It has a creamy floral undertow more typical of the masculines from decades past (Tabac, Baron) and pretty good longevity. For less than $20, it's easy to recommend this modest classic.

A crisp, clean scent. Not pretentious, not cloying -- just pleasant. I get a LOT of compliments whenever I wear this one.

Too bad this one's discontinued. I buy it often when it comes up on eBay for a reasonable price.

One of my all-time favorite less expensive scents.
