Fine® Platinum Aftershave

Great product, has an amazing scent and just the right amount of burn to appreciate a good shave!

Love the Platinum. Great fragrance and very refreshing after a shave!

Great clean and refreshing

Classic!!

The Aftershave is one of the best I have, in terms ofskinfeeling and fragrance. A must have!

The AS does as described, cool off theskinafter a shave, there isn’t any smell, I normally add a bit in with my daily lotion.

The scent is great I own one of each. A great aftershave give them a try you wwon't be sorry you did.

This is great stuff! really feel the burn on theskinand can really feel those pores close up! best stuff out there at the moment, but prepare to feel the burn!

1) This is an aftershave splash. For most users, the fragrance will last well less than an hour. If you have very oilyskinand / or you douse yourself, you may get two hours. If you want to smell like something 4 or 8 hours after you use a product, get an EDT, not aftershave. Similarly, this does not project well, maybe a couple inches from yourskin. Even if you douse yourself, you will not do much to increase the range. Again, if you want the folks at the club to smell you from 5 feet away, get an EDT.2) These scents, as honestly described by the maker on the website, are meant to emulate well known male fragrances. The models (and related Fibe scents) are: YSL Rive Gauche PH (American Blend),Terre D'Hermes (Orange Noir), Guerlain Vetiver (Clean Vetiver), Tom Ford Grey Vetiver (Clean Vetiver), and Creed's Aventus (Platinum). Snake Bite is unscented menthol, and Italian Citrus is no longer mentioned on the website, so no idea what that's supposed to be.3) So, related to the points above, if you already own one or more of the model fragrances, don't buy the related Fine aftershave. Even if you love the scent of Terre D'Hermes, Fine's variant does nothing to improve on the original, and lasts for like 45 minutes or so. If you own TDH, put something else on your face after you shave, and then squirt the TDH on after that. No need to duplicate the $50 EDT with a separate $15 aftershave!4) So to put # 3 another way, the main market for Fine splashes are guys who say "heck no, I would never spend $X amount on smelling like sumptin". For every dude, the X variable will be different. For those whose $X is $45, you can get anything in the line and get the smell of the higher price (briefly) for far less money. For me, my $X is higher, so I own TDH, Guerlain Vetiver, and Rive Gauche, but I would not pay Tom Ford $90 or Olivier Creed $250 for their products, so I own Fresh Vetiver and Platinum. This way, I can smell like smoky pineapple (briefly) for a fraction of the cost of the original.The chosen models are carefully selected to be tasteful unique classics (no Acqua Di Gio or Burberry here), and the scent design work here is pretty good. Fine duplicates the fragrance notes pretty well, but the scent pyramid is pretty highly condensed, as it would need to be for something with a 5% fragrance concentration.If you don't want to spend even $15 to smell like sumptin, well, there's always Pinaud and Old Spice, which are decent enough, but which lack menthol and smell comparatively ordinary.5) These products are not ideal for dry / sensitiveskin. Alcohol and menthol do nothing to makeskinbetter. They may not make it worse if you are toughskinnedor use a moisturizer after the splash, but these definitely will not "soothe" or "moisturize" yourskin. Even the menthol cooling effect is really justskinirritation that many find pleasant. If you want healthier and / or moisterskin, you need to use a balm or supplement your splash with a moisturizer. Pro Raso White and Nivea Sensitive and Cooling balms are quite good, and they are all cheaper than Fine, but they do not smell like anything famous.6) How to apply: use a teaspoonful. Or cup the palm of a hand, fill the little hollow space in the middle with liquid. Rub your hands together for 3 seconds, and then turn your palms up for 4 seconds to air the alcohol. Then apply. If it stings a lot, you have given yourself a bad shave. The sting should be mild and brief followed by a cooling and tightening sensation. You should not be howling like Macaulay Culkin upon application.So given all the above, I like Fine. I know not everyone wants to spend money on male fragrances, and I like the fact that a guy can smell like Rive Gauche or Aventus for less than $20. Fine makes good stuff, and while ideally I'd like to see them stick some botanicals and / or moisturizing additives in here, I know that's unlikely to happen at this price point. (For those interested in the latter concept, try Barrister and Mann, artisan product not sold on Amazon (yet!) as he does complex splashes with useful additives, though admittedly at a higher price point than Fine.Fine accomplishes their mission, and they do it honestly and effectively. I'd like to see them try something more original, but what they have available now is just... Fine!

This after shave is absolutely amazing. The scent is reminiscent of Creed Aventus, if you know it, at a very nice price point. The after shave has a strong alcohol which is great, and it dissipates quickly, there is a light menthol that also dissipates quickly. Whats left is a very masculine scent, which I believe contains cedar wood, definitely a few other scents, but that one comes through, nothing is overpowering though. It is smooth on theskinand not overly irritating at all. The scent is long lasting, at least 3-4 hours, if not more, depending on activity level.

If I could give this stuff more stars I would . This stuff is awesome !! Leavesskinfeeling very good nice mild burn to it . And the smell is the best I have used so far definitely would buy again.

It leaves a nice smooth finish on theskinbut although pleasant smelling is very persistent. So, go lightly with the application.

Great scent. I can't get enough of it. It did, however, dry out myskina bit.

This really is FINE aftershave. Great post-shave performance, for example, cooling, toning, and leavingskinfeeling refreshed. I got the Platinum scent as it is modeled after Creed's Aventus, which I have a sample of, love, and used for scent comparison. In terms of scent, this is definitely not a "cheap knock-off." To my nose, the smoky, fruit top-notes in Aventus are a bit more pronounced by comparison, but they're definitely there in the Fine Platinum. As the dry down occurs, the two scent profiles (Aventus and Fine Platinum) really start to merge, to the point I don't think I'd be able to distinguish unless I knew which one I had used. Silage and staying power are not as strong, BUT this is an aftershave. I still get a solid 3-4 hours, and this is a very friendly scent appropriate for any kind of setting, including work. I do have other aftershaves that have a stronger silage and lasting power, so I would give this the full five stars if Fine ever boosts the strength just a touch. It's pretty much perfect as is. Get it and I think you'll quickly find yourself using it in the morning, and touching up in the afternoon and evening as I do because it just feels good and smells awesome!

I love the clean scent and it feels great on myskinwithout drying it out. I like variety, but I'd buy this again.

A refreshing scent. My wife goes bonkers over it. However it is not for sensitiveskin. It is pretty much strait alcohol.

The product is very good. Great scent, works well, leaves myskinfeeling smooth after my shave.

A pleasant burn that turns to cooling menthol. My wife likes the scent very much. Myskinis left soft and moisturized.

Head and shoulders above all other after shaves I've ever used.Cool, crisp feel on theskin. Great sexy scent!

Love the way it makes myskinfeel. I get compliment after compliment about how good I smell wearing it.

The scent on this stuff is fantastic, one of the best sandalwoods around, if not the best. Has a very nice face feel, not too heavy, but doesn't try out theskin. Scent strength is pretty high, and it lasts around 6-7 hours.

Finally a non-scented aftershave that has menthol and alcohol to refresh and sterilize one'sskin! Most aftershaves conflict with cologne so an unscented is a must. Not to mention, men prefer to smell like their cologne and not aftershave the entirety of the day. Until I make my own formula, this will be my go to aftershave.

I have the Platinum aftershave and American Blend. They're both great and leave myskinfeeling smooth and soothing.

Smells great cleans theskinperfectly.

Good scent. Last throughout the day. Doesnt make myskinirritated

I'm an avid user of Fine aftershaves. This is a great product, scent reminiscent of Hermes, not overpowering. Fine always seems to get the strength of the scent just right. Best part of Fine aftershaves is the finish. Conditions theskinso well. Prompt delivery. Happy with the purchase.

This stuff smells fantastic! The scent is very much like a cologne, but not overwhelming. I have very sensitiveskin, so finding something that I both like and can use as much a I would like can be a challenge. I have never had any issues with Fine's products, however I hadn't tried this one until two days ago. I'm sold and will definitely be buying another bottle when I'm done with this one. In addition to smelling incredible, it also feels amazing, tightens myskinand doesn't dry out myskin(similar to other Fine aftershaves)I have heard many people compare "Platinum" to Creed Aventus. By scent alone, I think this actually smells even better. When it comes to finding a scent I like, it's nice to know I won't have to spend $250+ without a lack of quality. I did have an issue occur regarding the bottle leaking slightly, but I emailed West Coast Shaving and they got back to me first thing this morning and were incredibly courteous. Normally I wouldn't rate a product a 5 in this circumstance, but I greatly appreciate the customer service so far and the product is top notch in itself. Definitely worth it!

Great fragrance, great performance. An outstanding concoction that makes myskinfeel cool and soothed after shaving.

I love this stuff it smells identical to the art of shaving sandalwood it last for about 6 hours On theskin

This makes you feel like you but onskinbracer and then stuck your face in a freezer.
