BlueBear Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I really, really loved this!! This reminded me of a commercial scent i’ve smelled but richer, if that makes sense. I believe it’s the Musk that sets it apart. It’s just present enough to make this seem as if the fragrance is emanating from the skin. Very fresh and clean. The sandalwood is not too overpowering, but it is to die for. This was borderline too masculine on my skin for my taste, but I couldn’t stop sniffing it, so i’ll Definitely continue wearing it. Maybe I can get some on the Marine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildegerd Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The beginning was very male, but the drydown is something both gender can be satisfied with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The label triggers all my vintage Hollywood feels because Buster Keaton is . At first I was all, "Aloe game too strong!" because aloe is one of my death notes (except in Summershine, apparently). It's just too totally intensely soapy-clean for my tastes (even my tastes in boysmell). The musk is pretty strong on me too in terms of amplifying those qualities. I get more of the watery-outdoorsy quality in the drydown, to the point where I'm reminded of scents like Emerald City or Moon of the Falling Leaves, sorta. To me this is that classic shower-fresh for guys sort of thing that y'all love and so you should get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietguy Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I am with Luna on the Aloe thing. It took a lot of dry down and melding into my skin for the aloe to calm down and the rest of the scent to really come out. But once it did - it lived up to my expectations for the rest of the notes.

Eastwood22 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) BF says this smells like "a really clean fresh showered after the gym smell. Not too fancy, like really expensive soap that doesn't smell like soap. It smells like 'good hygiene.'" I like it, it's grown on both of us. I am not a fan of green man scents, but there's just enough amber and "man warmth smell" to keep me interested. I think it's sexy. If he worked in an office, I'd rather he didn't wear it to work, or he'd have a bunch of ladies lingering by his desk all day. River and Rain, IMO, would be perfect for a nonchalantly sexually charged brunch date. No sex. Make her wait. The man wearing this holds ALL the cards. I think it would be a good pairing with Charisma. Edited March 11, 2019 by Eastwood22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastwood22 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I didn't, I've got him Mark's Girl Nip, Open Arms, and Bad Boy, and FB's ofTeddy Man 2 and Winner are coming his week, plus Year One and 1969 samples. Also Gargoyle Gargle coming from a trade. He's so picky, and there are so many to choose from: if he doesn't like something he gives sample back to me immediately, but he's kept River and Rain. I'll see what he puts on first when he gets home from his trip. I'd order it for him if he wants, I'd be happy to decant myself a wee bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood22 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I just got my first "I need this LP" text from my man tonight! "Make a note that I really like river and rain. My sample is out" That's pretty damn cute. AND now he's gonna have to wait a minute because I just placed an order today. He doesn't understand, "this ain't Nam, there are rules."

Witty Kitty Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Sometimes these sorts of scents for men are a bit too masculine for me, but this is wearing nicely on me and I'll happily keep this sniffie for myself. There's a bit of casual sexiness along with the clean soapiness. It's an unassuming, office-appropriate scent that would pair perfectly with Swimming with Sharks.

Eastwood22 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Damn, one more I forgot to buy for my man. And I'm sure you're right, Witty Kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiseviolet Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This is really fresh and clean and not too masculine, which I often worry about with unisex scents. It reminds me of fresh laundry but in a good way. It's aquatic with some greenness but the green is very soft, like a pastel green. I don't like when green scents get too sharp but this is perfect!

He doesn't understand, "this ain't Nam, there are rules." Clearly I'm a terrible girlfriend. It's April, he's wanted this since December! He just finished off a sample, "I want to smell like this every time I get out of the shower. In fact, I want it in a spray. I want everyone to smell me and say, 'Wow, he smells clean. He must've just gotten out of the shower.'" It's not my favorite, but that's okay. Green watery scents just aren't my thing, but this one is good and I like that he enjoys it so much. As this forum is my witness, I will not omit River and Rain from my next order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one sounds really interesting after hearing the description of it. If green watery scents aren't your thing you may want to steer clear of Merlin's Blend for him but he might like that one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" description is a bad one for me, watery isn't my thing, and he amps wood like crazy. Hmmm. See what I said there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenappletart Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 This one is wet and airy, but very grass forward. On me, it's not unisex at all, but very masculine. It's really woodsy, which is what I think is giving me that impression. I tend to associate woodsy notes with scents for men. As it dries down, it becomes warmer and more muted. On the long, long dry down it's like I didn't put it on at all, but it transferred onto me from someone else. Or like when you wear a guy's jacket and it smells like his cologne. I like it, but on a man, rather than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopyace Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Oh, baby. This is exactly what a guy wants to smell like fresh out of the shower. Clean. Ever so slightly soapy but mostly just... clean. Very wet, very airy and green with a hint of woodsiness. I got a lot of compliments while wearing this (to the point it made my bride uncomfortable). She's not a big fan of clean scents such as this but she didn't complain about it which is actually a good thing. It means she doesn't mind it. I'm happy with that because I really like this scent!
