 They have Cypress, they're fresh but they're also different and their niche quality. Hey what's up guys it's Josh here today I want to do a double review on this sandalwood and cypress and this green lavender by the art of shaving. Now the art of shaving has a store nearby at my mall they have like five or six maybe seven different kinds of clones got in there several times you know smelled a few out I ended up picking up one several years ago I did a review on I think it was this green lavender intense later on I ended up going to a discount store TJ max ended up finding this sandalwood and cypress of these fragrances every time I've smelled them I've really enjoyed them they're very very high quality both these are somewhat expensive compared to designers they go after these fresh clean style smells and to be honest the juice almost comes off as niche quality juice I absolutely love the quality of this juice sometimes I feel like it's unmatched by any other fragrance that I've smelled up to this point I wrote up kind of like a mini review on each one and I'll kind of give my two cents in at the end green lavender cologne intense now I want to say real quick it says cologne just by my smelling it just not smell like cologne just not smell like edt it smells closer to edp this stuff is very high quality almost niche quality the scents are kind of like designer scents but the quality seems niche in my opinion let's jump into green lavender green lavender's notes are lavender not a surprise mint cypress rosemary bergamot and moss not a hundred percent a barbershop style fragrance but it has a little bit of elements of a barbershop style vibe for sure it has a lot of herbs in here but did overall because of that mint and other things it comes off a little bit fresh with just enough strong spices in there so it is strong and it is spicy overall it's still fresh and clean which I really really appreciate so let's jump into the pros of this fragrance it's very unique and it has very high quality both these scents in my opinion kind of remind me of Abercrombie and Fitch style scents but they're done with such high quality that if you were somebody who didn't like Abercrombie and Fitch you actually might like these and if you like the old Abercrombie and Fitch style scents you actually might really fall in love with these because they seem like a higher quality version of some of those style scents the pros super unique very high quality like I was saying before it smells a little bit similar to other things that you smelled before but it's also got its unique vibe I think it's the cypress I really like cypress and a cypress was used by Abercrombie and Fitch back in the day and they're Abercrombie and Fitch yellow which what I really like the cypress in that fragrance both these fragrances feature cypress so maybe that's what's giving it the unique vibe but also the Abercrombie similarity to me this just smells like a fresh and clean style scent I would say almost with both of these you could be someone who doesn't really like cologne not really for you but you spray this up it just smells good you could wear it anybody could wear it this one smells more fresh and clean kind of a little bit more out of the shower versus the other one the cons is at the price I think it's about $50 for the one ounce which is a little bit expensive online maybe it's a little bit more the cities have always been a little bit more expensive but you can tell with the quality that it really kind of deserves the high price because you're not going to smell anything with this high quality at like Ulta or Sephora so let's jump into the cons pretty expensive it's not a super beast projector but it's also not bad I would say it's above average so it's hard for me to put that in a con but it isn't super beast mode besides that it's hard for me to find any other cons with this fragrance I would give it between an 8 to an 8.5 for the smell the same thing for likeability 8 8.5 and longevity and projection I'll give a 7 to a 7.5 it's definitely not bad it's definitely above average not beast mode but really not bad when fragrances kind of get bad I start putting about 6.5 and if they're really bad I'll give them like a 6 this one's very solid I would say you probably get 90 minutes maybe up to two hours projection and it'll probably last on skin probably up to 10 hours that seems about where this one maxes out good enough for me especially when it's a fresh clean scent so that one is green lavender let's jump into it number two this one's actually one of my favorites if it's not my absolute favorite by them all these really have this unique likeable vibe that almost anybody could wear it is the art of shaving so it's kind of got this fresh luxurious shower style vibe to all of them I've smelled a lot of fragrances and nothing really has this kind of smell with this kind of quality backed up with it so one of my favorites let's jump into the notes sandalwood and cypress not a surprise kayakwood cedar cardamom bergamont it's a little hard to describe I was looking up online people mentioned this buttery style vibe online and I almost have to like agree with that it's really hard to describe it's very smooth very fresh but also has a little bit of thickness in there and I feel like because it has a little bit of thickness and a little bit of freshness but the fall and the spring is absolutely perfect for this fragrance if it was too hot it might be too much for this fragrance and I wouldn't say it's the best for the cold because it's not super thick it's just a little bit of thickness a little bit of freshness you can wear it really all the time so let's jump into the pros it's unique and near-niche quality same with the other one I would say this one is even more unique than green lavender green lavender is very unique because it has lavender it has a lot of stuff you smell before but it's surprisingly likable this one I would say is a little more unique a little further away from things that I've smelled before but that makes me like it even more to be honest with you guys anybody could wear this I would say that you might be able to wear this a little bit more often you could probably stand the heat a little bit better and it just smells like something you spray out of the shower at any time that you're coming out of the shower just to smell fresh so this one's kind of a little bit more all year round this one's a little more specific still I feel like anybody could wear this at almost any time so the corns is the price and it's not beast mode the same as before these are pretty expensive they don't go saying $50 for one ounce or around that maybe even more this one probably projects just the hair more than the other one here these aren't weak by any means and these aren't like the strongest thing I've ever smelled these are firmly above average and I appreciate that I don't really feel like I have to give you a warning for how little they will last I feel like almost everybody will be at least satisfied with how long they last not be put in a situation where you're not going to be smelling it for very long or you're just going to be having a problem with the projection I don't really have that very similar but they are kind of different at the same time have cypress they're fresh but they're also different and their niche quality I definitely recommend checking them out if I were to give sandalwood and cypress a rating I'd probably give it a firm 8.5 for the smell because this one actually do like a hair more than this and I gave this 828.5 I probably give this a firm 8.5 because I do like it more and then likeability I'd give this an 828.5 just because I think it's likable I think everyone could pull it off but it hasn't given me the compliments yet so I don't want to give it a firm 8.5 to a 9 just yet and then the longevity and projection I'm going to give it about a 7.5 I would say that the sandalwood and cypress protects just a hair longer than this one but then the performance isn't really a negative for me maybe it is for you but I just don't feel like it's really something that's going to be weighing down these fragrances very much so anyways guys let me know what you think of the art of shaving have you tried either one of these these ones are a little bit expensive and at the same time a little less known every time I've smelled these throughout the years I've been impressed every time that I forgot about it not wore it for like six months I always feel kind of dumb the scent style is a little bit designary but the quality is niche and like I said I haven't smelled anything that smells similar to these quality wise these probably will make lists if they qualify let me know what you think of the art of shaving let me know what review I should do next one the road of 25,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without name you guys help you guys are
