Ben Sherman The Original EDT in detail
The Original EDT comes from Ben Sherman. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Its style
The strongest accord is warm spicy (100%), followed by fresh spicy and amber. You will probably like it if you enjoy warm spicy and fresh spicy smells and notes like nutmeg and coffee. Less obvious notes include mint, patchouli and hay.
Which weather suits it
It is at its best in winter and fall. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
The Original: day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its fresh spicy side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Mugler A*Men has more depth.
Is The Original long lasting?
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men and Mugler A*Men last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like coffee and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
