I don't really have much to say about this. If you like a good modern casual cologne, get this. Its 4oz, you only need about 1 spray vs the cheap colognes where you need 2-3 so if you think about it.. you are saving money and getting a higher quality cologne for you. As far as the smell... best i've ever had. It got me laid in puerto rico and i'm not lieing.

I read a lot of reviews online calling this "One of the Best Colognes under the radar" & "The cologne that George Clooney Wears". I liked a lot of the back story about the cologne. I don't much remember now, but something about how it was created for a Hollywood starlet in the 50s or 60s and that it was British. I mean slap a $150 price tag on those two facts and I was pretty excited to use this cologne. Unfortunately, the hype was not even close to met. The cologne smells decent. But, it reminds me of one of the many dime store colognes I would find on my brother's dresser about 15 years ago. I don't know how to describe it but, it smells a bit common and honestly, a bit cheap. The one review I remember reading that was pretty accurate compared it to a ridiculously over priced bottle of Cool Water. That's pretty spot on. I've got a decent collection of top shelf cologne and this one has received by the far the least acknowledgment from my peers. I would also warn that if you do really like the smell at first (Cool Water) try it out for a day or two. I'm happy if I can smell it after an hour or two, let alone 4-5 hours into the evening! I did order this cologne offline and I've read some reviews that point out contrasting results with department stores products. I can't really claim one way or another on that. If you find it at a department store and like the smell, I would just caution you to try it out for a day and see if it lasts long enough to be worth the price tag. I mean it's nice to feel a bit cultured when putting on a cologne with such an interesting story. However, when it comes down to it, Green Irish Tweed would fit right into the $39-$59 range just fine. Paying anything beyond that for this cologne is honestly just pretentious.
