Nov 20, 2024 - BVWSC: Oro Valley

  • Brush: Brochas El Druida/House of Mammoth Tobacconist Chisel & Hound v8 Fanchurian Badger Knot
  • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
  • Blade: Perma-Sharp Super [4]
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Oro Valley - Soap
  • Post Shave: Ariana & Evans - Lavender Noir - Splash
  • Fragrance: Tom Ford - Ombré Leather - Eau de Parfum

I love the interplay between the jasmine sambac and the leather notes in both Oro Valley and Tom Ford's Ombré Leather. Stirling's homage, which is the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club selection for today, is spot on to the original.

I very much want to try the TF frag. I have the Stirling EdT and feel that it wears off pretty quickly (as is typical for their frags). No shade at all, they’re so affordable that I feel 100% fine reapplying if needed. :)

How strong/long lasting do you find the TF?

How strong/long lasting do you find the TF?

Not sahenders, but Tom Ford fragrances are really great in sillage and projection - means you get a long lasting scent from just a few sprays. More than 3 is overkill, 3 is already very strong. If you put one on each wrist and one on the lower sternum, it should last quite some time 👍🏻

Nice, I’ll probably try to find a decant at some point

It's totally worth it IMO 😉
