Fine Snake Bite after shave
Fine Snake Bite after shave
This is a good example of how samples can help, especially when it comes to aftershaves. I recently bought samples of all of the offerings from Fine. I got six because one of them (Italian something or other) is kind of off the radar apparently. The one I am choosing to buy in the big bottle is Snake Bite. It's supposedly without fragrance, but to my nose it smells just about right. The main attraction to me is the MENTHOL. Caps are appropriate because it's a nice big bold healthy menthol. It's great stuff.

I agree. Out of 6 samples, my smelling apparatus didn't seem to register more than one "gotta have it". I envy those who can really understand and appreciate the more complex commercial fragrances.

Re: Fine Snake Bite after shave
Now that I've used up the sample of Snake Bite, and have located a retailer who still has it in stock, I'm about ready to place my order. The rest of the samples served their purpose and are history.

That one would be Italian Citrus, supposedly it bears a very close resemblance to AdP's Colonia:brothers wrote:I got six because one of them (Italian something or other) is kind of off the radar apparently.
I have yet to try any of the Fine AS, particularly since the artisan went back to the original formula, and most online stores don't seem to know which version they're actually carrying. Snake Bite is one of the scents that intrigues me the most, along with Italian Citrus, Platinum and Clean Vetiver.
