Black Cologne

Black Cologne by Stetson is listed here as a fragrance. A fragrance opens brightest in the first few minutes; what is left an hour later is the part you actually live with. Two or three sprays is usually plenty; rubbing your wrists together crushes the opening notes and shortens what follows. Discounted listings come and go, and rarely at the same shop twice. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. Whoever is cheapest today may not be tomorrow, so it is worth looking again before settling on the best deal.
