    This happened to me this morning and I thought it was pretty funny. Thought I'd share.

    This morning I didn't shower, I just brushed my teeth and changed to go to the gym. I do this quite a bit on the weekends. So I'm at the gym, and after the first mile on the treadmill I start to sweat. A few minutes later I start to smell something really strong. At first I'm just catching random whiffs of it and it's familiar but I can't tell. By mile 2 I'm sweating a lot and the smell has blossomed fully. I'm smelling the Clubman Special Reserve aftershave I put on after yesterday's shave, the sweat had re-activated it.

    I've never had that happen before! I certainly didn't use a lot of it yesterday, actually a little less than normal. I thought that was pretty funny. I could've smelled like a lot of other things from yesterday, so I wasn't doing so badly.

    SR like some of the Bay Rum aftershaves seem to sink in the skin and flower out 18 - 24 hours after they are applied on me as well.

    I can almost always smell the previous day's aftershave when I am in the shower in the morning. The only one I can't seem to smell is Proraso green. All the others I use, I can definitely smell the next morning.

    It certainly can last well into the next day-although I use Clubman regular for now. As we've discussed, I may try the Reserve soon. Great story!
