This will be the daily Scent of the Day thread for the members of this group. If you happen to be wearing a powerhouse/old school scent, feel free to post it here.

NOTE: Please don't create separate SotD threads for each day, like they do in the Mens Forum. I'd like to just keep it to this one thread.

Today, my SotD is:

Tabac Original EDC. This is a wonderful fragrance in a floral european barbershop style. I`ve just opened my brand new 10 oz bottle and I`m a happy man. Something was weird though because after putting the bottle back in the box and then opening the box again and smell it, I got an obvious fresh cut ginger note. Ginger is not listed in Tabac`s note pyramid and I wonder if I am misinterpreting another accord.
Another strange thing is that on my skin Tabac EDC has a powerhouse longevity (12h +).

BTW, how noticeable is the difference between the EDC & EDT? I have the above bottle of EDC.

I find the EDC to have a richer, deeper vanilla note. The EDT is a little more synthetic to begin with and is a touch harsher than the cologne. The EDT has more longevity, but I prefer the EDC. Both are Excellent though. Canoe is definately one of my absolute favourie Old Schoolers.

Hey guys, let's try to keep this thread only as a listing of what powerscent/old school frags we're wearing at the moment, rather than having discussions. I'm trying to keep this as the one and only SotD thread, so this is going to ultimately be an extremely long thread, and I don't want to jam it up with discussions. Thanks!
