Blue After Shave

7.7

Don Draper

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Don Draper Blue After Shave is a fresh, fougère-style men's scent, clean, green and lightly woody, in the spirit of an after-shave splash. It opens with lemon, bergamot, bitter orange, menthol and lavender, a cool, bright start. In the heart, jasmine, vetiver and cedarwood carry the floral-green texture towards a woody line. Musk, amber and leather in the base soften it and close with a faintly resinous, leathery warmth. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays present without being heavy. Most voters pair it with daily wear, leisure and the office, and some choose it for sport. It reads masculine. Maxim's pour Homme and Borsalino have a close profile.

Gold After Shave

8.1

Don Draper

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Don Draper Gold After Shave is a men's aftershave that pairs a fresh, citrusy start with a powdery, woody warmth. The notes read as a single whole: orange zest gives a fresh, lightly fruity brightness, talcum adds a powdery softness, and sandalwood and musk settle everything onto a warm, woody base. Spicy and resinous touches keep the clean, barbershop feel of its fougère character. Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small and the ratings lean positive. It suits everyday use after shaving for anyone who wants a gentle, fresh finish. El Nabil Musc Santal and Parle Moi de Parfum Milky Musk/39 have a close profile.
