CremoCologne for Men - Bourbon & Oak Mens Cologne Spray - A Sophisticated Blend of Distiller’s Spice, Fine Bourbon and White Oak, Fragrances For Men, 3.4 Fl Oz

I put this as one of the items in my husband’s Easter basket and we were so amazed at how great this smells! It smells like if you were to take a whiff of a stack of leather bound books in the woods next to a pine camp fire and a buddy who has a nice vanilla tobacco pipe. It’s fresh and outdoorsy, while also being warm and manly. Reminiscent of an evening camping in the woods by a clear creek in spring or autumn. Honestly I couldn’t have imaged that a cologne at such a great price would smell this nice. (I liked it so much I even gave myself a quick spray). It’s actually a light scent, not overpowering at all, so it’s a good one to keep in your truck or in your drawer at work to give yourself a few good sprays to freshen up. My husband also has the Tom Ford Ombré Leather cologne and I’d say this is somewhat comparable, just a lighter scent and slightly more fresh (less musky). They’re both great in their own ways but for the price, this one can’t be beat!

Spice & Black Vanilla is very reminiscent of Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme and is hugely popular.It’s a projection, sillage, and longevity beast.However, it can be overly cloying and sickly sweet.It feels like a younger man’s club scent to me - the kind that can cut through the smoke, sweat, and stale beer - think JPG LeMale or Versace Eros.It’s quite good, but I wouldn’t describe it as, “classy”.I prefer the original Spicebomb to Spicebomb Extreme (or Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla).Bourbon & Oak, however, exudes sophistication, elegance, style, and class.It’s very reminiscent of Carolina Herrera CH Men Prive.It opens with a boozy creaminess that has slight hints of mint and citrus.Then dries down to a heavenly base of leather, lavender, and tonka bean sweetness and spice, with just enough hint of pepper from the sage to make it well rounded and balanced.It’s just enough of everything, without being too much of anything.If you’re 40+, do yourself a favor and grab Bourbon & Oak before Spice & Black Vanilla.You’ll be glad you did, and so will those around you!

These colognes off unmatched value, but they aren't perfect. They do NOT sit well on the skin, and reading other reviews I think that's the big difference between people claiming it lasts a long time and those that say it doesn't last at all. I noticed that when you wear this on the skin, any of the scents, they evaporate like crazy and is gone in an hour or two. But when you put it on your clothes, it actually lasts a really long time, easily all day and you can smell it the next day on your clothes as well (although it wont project much the next day).The scent, on my skin at least, is truly offensive, even to myself. As mentioned previously, it evaporates so quickly that you get that overpowering cheap cologne smell when applied to the skin. Contrast that to putting it on your clothes and the scent is actually incredibly smooth and delicious. It smells expensive and sophisticated. When applied to my shirt collar or sleeve cuffs, I find myself constantly putting my nose down to get a whiff. I will do this over and over throughout the day, it is intoxicating. Especially the Bourbon and Oak scent is just incredible on the clothes, but I find myself gagging and suffocating on the same scent when applied to my skin.The sprayer on this bottle is too big, it sprays a very wide cone and way too much volume. I get it, if we spray more out we will go through the bottle faster and re-buy it again, but I'd prefer a reduction in bottle size with a smaller volume sprayer personally. It is just too much with each spray. It also sprays really wide. Getting it on the collar is really hard unless you hold it right above the fabric. Even 4-5 inches away and you are spraying your whole chest.Now each scent:Spices and Black Vanilla: This is clearly meant to be a spicebomb dupe and it does a good job. Its richer in vanilla, but still has the smokiness to it, which I love. Overall I would describe it as sweet and spicy with a trailing note of smoke which will mostly be noticeable to those leaning in to you. It smells sophisticated and masculine, but not like you are trying too hard.Bourbon & Oak: I love this scent, it is my favorite (as long as it is on clothes, i can't stand it on my skin). It is mostly wood and smoke. The bourbon scent is there, but its in the back and its faint. The smoke is Traeger grill type smoke, not cigar smoke. This is a date night scent for sure. Girls will bury their face wherever you spray this (neck for me). This one doesn't project very far, so they will need to lean in to smell it, but again for date night I think that's what makes this good. Its overwhelmingly delightful for those that get close.Overall - I give the scents a 4/5. I give the value a 5/5. The projection is a 3/5. The longevity is a 3/5. The packaging is a 4/5 (loses a point for the high volume sprayer). I'm averaging it all out to 4/5 overall. I think this is a good Saturday morning/afternoon cologne or to spray on workout clothes or something. I would wear it to school or the office as well. For date night or special occasions I would probably splurge for something else. But i am not disappointed with this purchase and will probably try a few other scents. Yes its imperfect, but you can't beat the value for the price.

Muy buen perfume, no es tan fuerte pero dura casi todo el dia, no es un beast mode y aun asi es de los perfumes que mas complementos me ha generado, en la officina me dicen que huele bien, que huele a limpio y agradable. 10 de 10 por el precio y la calidad. Una botella es grande me dura casi un año usandolo casi a diario lo cual es genial!!
