Brut Splash On Lotion, Fresh, 200 ml

Product Information

The green plastic "beer bottle" varieties that are widely available in North America are manufactured by Idelle Labs for Helen of Troy and are available as Original Cologne, Aftershave, and Splash-On. Sometimes it can also be found as limited runs of "Classic" or "Special Reserve" in a 3 oz glass bottle complete with medallion or in a giant 25.6 oz glass bottle. All five versions have different versions of the fragrance formula; the giant bottle follows the original 1964 formula with modern ingredients and the other four are variations on it. The splash is very watered down and almost not detecable when splashed on your body but thats my opinion. In summary, then, Brut Splash On is theoretically more likely to have a longer-lasting scent compared with Brut Aftershave. FOR ME NOTES DISSECTION RUINS THE MYSTERY OF THE SCENT, ITS LIKE PONDERING OVER THE ENGINE AND TYRES MECHANISM OF A CAR INSTEAD OF ENJOYING THE CONVENIENT RIDE ,SO NO NOTES SEPARATION HERE ) I think a lot of people will have similar memories of this being one of the first fragrances they encountered.

BRUT is one of the most classic and authentic barbershop smells you can find ,and its aromatic qualities ,sweet and wet talcum powder vibe ,subtle herbals and smooth over all effect declares it one of the best of its genre . Another thing to ask yourself when deciding between these two products is, what function do I want this fragrance to serve? There's a very soft but pronounced muskyness with a very thin green tone underneath, that wraps the whole composition, this musky blanket is the soul of great BRUT.

Some men also like the cooling, refreshing feeling that comes with the added menthol in Brut aftershave.

My first memories of perfume (or anything else) take me to a long time ago, I remember just a few things of that time, and one is that green plastic bottle of Brut. It was designed to be shaken with energy, so a few drops reach you. My father never liked any perfume, so the bottle became some kind of toy to me. The memory of the ylang-ylang - sandalwood chord still make me feel good. The actual fragrance that goes into both Brut Splash On and Brut Aftershave is pretty much the same. In both, you get notes of citrus, and greens with undertones of sandalwood. On me it smells mossy yet sweet, clean but with a slightly animalic note that adds a sense of danger. Of course, in Junior High I got some flak for wearing a male cologne, but at that time I wore men's clothes pretty much all the time anyways, so I was used to it.BRUT Splash On has only a faint ghost of the citrusy opening and is far less sweet than the aftershave; rather it focuses more on the green, herbaceous, powdery side of BRUT with a hint of woods underneath. It's lighter and less likely to offend, but also weaker: I would say that its duration and projection are about 30% as strong as the Aftershave, with arm's length projection for no more than about 20 minutes and a skin scent that lasts a scant 2-3 hours. It's likely nobody will ever smell this on you unless you completely overdose on it. I usually wear and enjoy it after a shower in the shiny cool winter evening ,when sky is blue and and the sunlight has turned to orange ,sitting in the open under the sky in solitude, sun is landing in the west and full winter moon is rising from the east, it gives an strange feeling of relaxation and calmness, no rush , no one around . BRUT Splash On earns a SpongeScore of 4/10: a milder-scented, slightly less disappointing way to experience BRUT that plays nicer with your perfume collection.

Again, it is the differing alcohol content in both of these products that causes a perceived difference in the fragrance. There was a cabinet with scents and talc powder and i shuffled around in in it...I was attracted by the biggest green, metallic bottle with medaillion, it was BRUT!....I unscrewed the cap and sniffed the plastic splash top....WOW what a burst of Scent molecules drove through my little nose that moment!...it felt bombastic and special!What's in it? The abstract herbal freshness conveyed by mint and basil are brief and inviting, the lavender refreshing (the mint and basil are separate from the lavender, but coordinate well), and the geranium quite pronounced, and tantalizingly citrus-springy. The yang-ylang and jasmine can take some getting used to, the former smelling a bit like plastic-wrapped hard candy, and the latter bringing in the indole of stale flower water, but - weirdly enough- this can become addictive, forming an almost honey-like accord with the well-known woody sweetness of the tonka bean. There are even hints of sandalwood and patchouli notes peaking through, producing moments of actual delight or deliciousness as the scent reacts to body heat. Anisic aldehydes keep things wet, fresh and a little bitter for the first couple of hours, easing in to a pleasant powdery-soapy-waxy continuum that emerges as a skin scent with a ghost of clean laundry musk. Finally, as far as I know, two different versions exist. There's the drugstore version in a plastic splash bottle, which smells like Brut, but it's pretty weak and kinda neutered. Then there's one in a glass spray bottle sold in perfume stores called "Brut Classic". The "Brut Classic" version is supposedly a dead ringer for the original, so if you wanna try Brut, why not go the whole way? By steps, and to start with, Brut is possibly- as many from the X generation- a first memory, an imprinting feel hardwired in the collective imaginary. This was the quintessential perfume for male, beloved son of a grand French tradition, conjuring lush undertones as from the bois in the outskirts of Paris (please have a walk in a French Forest and you will understand). Distilled from extracting genial ideas and discernment from Karl Mann, and Cary Grant’s commitment, casted an aura of refinement and became music for the masses, without losing charme - and this as the middle class and the bourgeoisie spirit was well alive in the ‘60es and decades thereafter, and a cologne could have been niche while widely distributed. This is for sure part of the spell. The ladies could immediately identify it as archetypical Fougere male odour, and men use it with confidence as signature- so personal while so well distributed and accessible. Brut Splash On, on the other hand, does not contain any menthol, so doesn’t have these same properties, but some men may still choose to use it as an aftershave. 2. Alcohol Content The Brut effect, which compliments a man's natural self-confidence and reliability, endures. Hopefully, for many generations to come.
