Cigar Aficionado aftershave

This was my first use of the shaving cream, and I was just a little disappointed. It had quite good cushion, glide, and post-shave skin feel (all 8/10), but to my old nose its scent was weak and bland. The aroma is advertised as having notes of bergamot, grapefruit, coffee, and leather, but I got none of them except a touch of the grapefruit. And its tobacco fragrance is the straight leaf, which I don't like quite as much as a mixture with the flower absolute provides.
