Re: SOTD January 24 - January 30, 2022
I recently received a bottle of original vintage Truefitt & Hill Spanish Leather cologne (I believe my bottle is about 20 years old or so, made before the modification at least) and it, fortunately, turned out to be a really pleasant cologne!
Gordon was very accurate with his description of the scent, i.e., it's quite similar to Trumper's Spanish Leather but the T&H version smells somewhat sweeter and more "dressier" (which is how I think he put it).
I suspect that my bottle have lost some of its potency over the years, although the smell is amazing and the longevity is actually still pretty decent.
I can't believe that T&H decided to replace this one with what they sell nowadays!
I went to a local mall here in Stockholm and tried out the current T&H Spanish Leather and I compared it with the older version and the differences are very noticeable, to say the least. The new version is unfortunately just another synthetic, modern, run-of-the-mill "leather" cologne, which hardly shares any similarities with the original at all.
Oh, and this is the first time I've tried Trumper's Rose shave cream actually, I might be in the minority but so far I think prefer Trumper's Rose over Truefitt's (scent wise that is, performance seems to be the same).
