It is a green floral herbal scent. And I really like it.(04-10-2021, 04:52 AM)Polovez Wrote:I missed this one... from the jar, looks like it was probably in the Reserve base, or no?
What's this scent about?
Ahhh, yes... I actually have Citricuya, the one on the right (Excelsior).
Very grassy.
Haven't used it yet, I'm waiting for some heat
Thank you!
Stirling Piacenza [ADP Colonia version]
Traveling, baseball games in Stillwater this weekend.
Had a nice skin cancer carved out limiting my shaves the last couple of weeks. Should be using a bay rum - pirate scars every where on my old mug. . This shave clicks all the toggles for me - lather performance, fragrance, post products. Just wish adp lasted..... Seriously, gone in 3 hours: and I overspray big time. This puck is 7 years old and the scent is strong with her still. Soap and afs lasts better than the ADP! Good onya Stirling.

It's alright, but I'm not sure I'd want to use it every day. The finish isn't anything to write about.(04-10-2021, 05:58 AM)Bouki Wrote: Mogno v. (Ach. Brito) woody cologneNice info, interesting!
The “Ach.” in Ach. Brito stands for Achilles. I say this name like this: "Akilleez." But in Portuguese "ch" sounds like English "sh." So I guess if I want to follow Portuguese pronunciation, I should call this company "Ash. Brito." Just who was this Achilles Brito? Time to rewind. In 1887 a pair of German chemists, Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schweder, settled in Portugal and began producing soaps and perfumes. Their firm came to be known as Claus & Schweder. In time they hired Achilles Alves de Brito, who eventually took Schweder’s place after he left the firm because of illness. During the First World War, Claus was forced to auction off his company because it was partly owned by Germans. Achilles Brito bought it and changed the name to Ach. Brito. But people still demanded the products sold under the Claus & Scheweder label. So two brands were formed: Claus Porto and Ach. Brito. More expensive products were sold under the Claus Porto label; domestic goods came under the Ach. Brito brand. That’s why a tube of Claus Porto’s Musgo Real shaving cream now costs about $24, while the same amount of Ach. Brito’s Mogno sells for $14. The scents, of course, are different, but the cream inside, as far as I can tell, is the same.
You like the scent, Bouki?
Performance?
