Long lasting aftershaves?

If you get several hours from an aftershave you are right in line with my experience.  One to four hours is about par for the course.  I generally look to EdTs and EdPs if I want longevity.  In my eyes, aftershave is meant to be a post shave tool that happens to smell nice.  Perfumes are the smell-nice products for all day.

Yup. I once tried a teeny dab of Azzaro "Wanted By Night" EDP from a store tester on the back of my hand.
Half an hour later I decided that I hated the scent, but I could not get rid of it for 16 days, in spite of repeated scrubbing and using various products on it. After that tragic incident I learned to use the little slips of blotter paper for samples that some stores provide.

Some aftershave splashes go away but are suddenly rejuvenated when I'm in the shower the next day. Mennen Skin Bracer is the only one that I can recall at the moment.

Freddiep318ti wyze0ne BPman TommyCarioca dominicr Thank you for the FINE recommendation and positive review on the long-lasting scent. We love hearing feedback from folks like you! In regards to the discontinued scents, I will take this to the owner and make sure he knows how much you all want them back! -FineGal

Stirling Haverford is my favorite in this capacity for being long lasting - lasts all day

Well, I like the fact that aftershaves do not project or last as long as colognes, EDT's, etc. In fact, it is my philosophy that A/S should settle down to close embrace fragrances within 30 min of use, and then last for about 4-5 hours, enough to get you through an evening with a lady. And that to me is the issue, a man's A/S should never up stage a lady's perfume. It is her show, and you are there to make her look good. Her perfume introduces her before she gets close, and leaves an impression after she leaves. I believe that a man's aftershave should not do so.

With that as my personal criteria, all of the Pinaud, Floid, Fine, Cella, Proraso and other mass market aftershaves work great from a scent point of view. However, some of the so called "artisan" aftershaves are far too strong and really act more like colognes rather than aftershaves. In fact, one of those brands advertises that its aftershaves "blur the line" between aftershave and cologne. For me, this means that I can not apply those liberally so as to disinfect my face after a shave, as I like to do. So, for me, those strong and exceedingly long lasting "aftershaves" just do not work.

I will not name names so as to not offend anyone's choice or alternative philosophy of perfumery. I know that some of you here are great fans of aftershaves that are very strong, and frankly would probably be offensive in a business environment, etc. However, they are not for me.
