In other reviews could read, the aftershave would stink or smell disgusting. "De issue is clearly debatable" for taste not argue. Each person has his own natural scent and sometimes natural and synthetic smells do not mix easily. I can wear well woody fragrances. In the top note I smell citrus and some caraway-like, in the middle note I could smell wood and patchouli and the base notes I discovered leather, moss and tobacco aromas. All very balanced and harmonious. This after shave I've known from the 80s, then such scents were popular. If another reviewer believes that all women would vergrellen with this fragrance, then he should even go in and think about whether this really is the aftershave.
