    Poland produces a number of great shaving creams and aftershaves/colognes... and Consul aftershave is not an exception.!!

    I just received a bottle of Consul aftershave from Poland, and I'm quiet surprise with the amazing and unique scent. It's fresh, with an attractive sweet herb and citrusy notes "bergamot" kind of lemony but yet sophisticated scent!! Very old school I just love it... definitely a winner in my book. I ordered 2 more bottles for backup!! IS THAT GOODDD!!!

    Wow, years ago when I went to Poland I never thought of buying anything shave related. I went there with a few of my cousins and we went there to visit the former Nazi concentration camps and to say the memorial prayers for the Holocaust victims. It was an extremely emotional trip. :(

    I can imagine my good friend, I'm with you in your pain, and my prayers goes to the more than 5,750,000 that suffered from many kind of terrible things to finally be murdered. :(

    Thank you so much my dear friend.

    My Dad lost almost his entire family in a concentration camp named Treblinka. My Mom’s relatives were luckier because they were constantly on the move.....but even they suffered.

    There's a series of dupes available here in Germany (DM drugstore or online) by Polish brand La Rive.
    Also available on ebay:

    Didn't try them out yet (some have quite good reviews, some not so much), but I like that they sell same scents as either AS, Deo or EDT/EDC. I'm tempted to find out more.

    I definitely have to check out the "Brutal". :D

    Hey,

    Wearing this tomorrow. This thread is what got me to buy and try. It's really worth the small cost and wait to ship. It smells very classic and very classy. Like something you put on a dress shirt and tie and go to work wearing.

    Received two La Rive after shaves last week - Cash (1Million clone) and Cabana (Le Male clone).

    For 6 bucks each, including shipping I can't complain.

    Not much a fan of the Cash (parfumo, fragrantica) but the Cabana (perfumo, fragrantica) I like.

    For anyone interested, here is a list of the La Rive dupes.

    Brutal is great but I'm afraid it's not what you think it is.
