Yes, yes it does. My guess is that to the "average" nose, there might not be a noticeable enough difference....but an aficionado like you would certainly notice: 1) Smoother scent, not as potent 2) More powdery-like scent 3) less menthol The pour spout is wide, and so it comes out in very large quantities if you're not extra careful....and this is the only low mark I can give it. Overall, however, I like it better than the US version :happy088
I'd just like to check in on this thread- At first I hated the smell of AV.... but after that first time, I've liked it more and more with every use and have become a true believer in AV. It's my go to a/s now. I really love this stuff.
Oh snap.. I forgot about you Rich. Don't worry... you'll get yours soon enough, buddy boy...::duel ::kar
I'm 51 and never used after shave until this year. I started out cautiously with a few different kinds like Old Spice and Skin Bracer that I got from my Dad. They weren't too bad but then I accidentally fell into a bottle of Velva. I'm still in there and I won't come out!
Just to stir the pot. I'm still a nay-sayer. I've reluctantly tried some of this cheap garbage, and the negative responses I've received from the ladies fell along the lines of "what the hell are you wearing?". It didn't go over well at all. Even though I do use Old Spice and Pinaud Clubman (these two still get positive responses from the ladies), I prefer the more sophisticated AS/EDTs such as Penhaligon's Opus 1870, Pecksniff's Oriental Woody, Floris Santal, and Knize 10. I've never had a negative reaction to any of these scents, in fact overwhelmingly positive. So label me a blasphemer, call me a witch and burn me at the stake, or maybe firing squad at dawn. They'll be no more $6 AS's in my medicine cabinet!
I used to use and still have a bottle of AV and really it didn't do anything special for me. I never really got any comments about it either. I don't dislike it but I don't see the reason behind the huge following either, except that the colours they come in are nice and vibrant. Not that that should matter..:rofl Label me neutral I guess.
Well, guessing form the last few post, you Velva bunch turn more away than you brainwash into your sinister and dreadful and smelly minions. I remain, smelling so much better than the lot of you Raf
