Arran Sense of Scotland Lochranza Aftershave for Men 100ml, Eau de Toilette

I absolutely adore the smell of this stuff. It is virtually the same as their old discontinued product, "Bay Citrus". In fact, I suspect this is just a rebrand of that very same product. It has a "classic" aftershave smell, which makes a welcome alternative to the boring and often-effeminate deluge of same-old-same-old aquatic and sweet scents that seem to be everywhere since the 90s. In contrast, this is a classy - and classic - scent. It's unmistakably and unashamedly masculine, but it's not Brut for the chauvenistic medallion-man. This is the scent for the well-groomed perfect gentleman. It's a confident and approachable scent. It doesn't carry an intimidating aura, it carries a strong and reassuring one. This isn't the pushy-salesman, the bully or the sexist pig's aftershave. It's the mountaineer's, the Dad's or Grandad's, the favourite boxing-coach's aftershave. So what's it like? Well, It's got the classic citrusy/woody type of smell of the aftershaves of decades gone by, with a nice discreet herbal and spicy undertone. If you are old enough, think of what Aramis used to smell like prior to about 1990. Another one I would compare this to is Cerruti 1881 pour homme. The scent reminds me very much of my Grandad, who always wore a nice aftershave. However, it's not an "old person's" scent. Unlike Paco Rabanne or Old Spice in their "original" forms, this scent is very suited to someone in their 20s or 30s. It has a youthful energy to it. It's timeless, not dated. I myself have been wearing it since it was called "Bay Citrus", in my late teens/early-20s. I'm now in my 30s. I always get compliments on this, especially if I have layered the fragrance by using their soap too. It's unique, and stands out. But that's not all. When you are wearing it, you not only smell different to everyone else, you smell far better... and people notice. Unfortunately, the scent doesn't seem as strong or long-lasting as it did when it was Bay Citrus. It's still absolutely wonderful and well worth the money though. It smells much, much classier than any of the other, more well-known fragrances I've mentioned. And it's better value than many of them too. The fact that buying it supports an independant Scottish company that actually cares about its products, is a nice added bonus. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I'm always on the lookout for nice scents and this one didn't disappoint, a little heady at first maybe (don't take a big sniff straight away - let it settle) it soon settles down into a nice background scent. Personally I would have liked the patchouli to have been more front and centre but that's just me, you can detect it but not as much as I hoped for. Over all still a nice smelly to have in the collection.

Prompt delivery + v.good price!

Excellent quality, fast shipping, and great customer service. Highly recommend.

Excellent scent Good value

Love this fragrance and it’s in a small bottle almost sample size! I took it to Naples ( Italy ) and it indubitably wowed the local Neapolitan populace. The new I was a player - they just had to inhale the smell. It’s a great size for travel especially on easyJet flights where economy of space is important. The price was good too - love it ya wee Scottish parfum!!

Love the smell but doesn’t last long when wearing it I should of read about the size of the bottle as it’s small disappointed 😞

Have bought from ARRAN several times this is a lovely brand . But the the box holding the fragrance is grubby, looks like soiled finger marks on the shabby box. I was going to gift it , but , this looks used . The trial size shower gels are a great gift for travel, Shame about the packaging on the fragrance though.

...purtroppo, la durata è piuttosto scarsa (sulle 2 ore). Un vero peccato, perchè la fragranza è fresca, pulita, intensa; in pratica, una delle migliori che abbia mai sentito. Il prezzo è onesto.

J’aime beaucoup ce parfum mais il tient peu longtemps
