What do you guys think of Geo. F. Trumper Cologne? I've never really bought a good fragrance before but have been thinking about it.
Absolutely love that one. Smells great without being overpowering. Trumper Portugal is also great, more of an orange rind scent in the top notes. Almost all of the Trumper colognes are superior and unique smelling concoctions. Only thing to be aware of is they tend to fade after around 4 hrs. They sell 200ml plastic refill bottles for almost the same price as their 50ml glass spray bottles. Consider getting your own atomizer bottle for $5 and filling it up from the 200ml Trumper refill. Another one to consider is the overused in the US but unheard of in Oz
Just noticed that this store here have them on sale (stock take). Are the ones you mentioned suitable for daily use? Are some more suitable for certain seasons? I'm thinking I might have to ask for a few samples.
Ajaccio Violets is a one note violet scent that lasts only an hour, but man, it's intoxicatingly beautiful. You'd have to keep an atomizer in your pocket to reapply every hour. Not worth the hassle. Geo. F. Trumper Eau de Cologne is a year round scent - probably my favorite but almost all of them are bottle worthy. Portugal is more summery because of the bitter citrusy top notes but it's very unique and memorable. I love Portugal, I wore it as my go-to scent for years. GFT is too similar to the Eu de Cologne, (but not as good - it's sweeter hard candyish smelling) so you don't need it. Trumper Sandalwood is a long, long lasting fragrance best for cooler weather, it's a creamy Sandalwood rather than dry. Eucris is too dirty motor oil smelling , IMHO. Limes is another lovely citrus with too short a staying power to actually consider purchasing unless you only wear it around the house. Spanish Leather is soapy and powdery with a faint cloves smell - very light on the leather. If you're set on Trumper, the one to start with is: http://www.mensbiz.com.au/shop/fragr.../prod_457.html
