Arlington Cologne

Trying the aftershave. Bright smooth natural citrus, open and transparent, nice soft woody drydown. Very pleasant. Love it. Pretty weak but nice for a quick pick me up. Similar vibe but different scent than 4711 which is much more neroli dominant and sharper and more floral. Scent: 7.5 / Sillage: 5 / Longevity: 5 Edit (7/17/2024): Revisiting this after 2 years of neglect and man...it's nice. All the previous descriptors still apply but I'd add a hint of English gentlemanly powderiness and lavender. And a splash of methol to cool the skin after a shave. Doesn't last but brilliant. Scent: 8-8.5 / Sillage: 4 / Longevity: 4 Edit (7/26/2024): D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave review...there's no listing so putting it here. Very soft faint notes...there's something there but not sure what. Doesn't last long because there's not much of a note to begin with. Vague floral or citrus scent but hardly noticeable. Not much bite or cooling either, tho nice enough post shave feel. It's ok...nothing I'd ever consider buying.

I found this to be a great fragrance. I have caught myself so often trying to catch a sniff of it mid-day just to find my happy place. Scent profile is right, opens with a lemon drop-like scent of citrus and dries down to a very light fern profile. It's a great light scent but if you want to stand out more than skin close, it's worth going to something heavier. I still have never come across anything similar to it so I'll keep buying Arlington.

D.R. Harris Arlington is proof that a great fragrance for men doesn't have to be overly expensive or complicated. This has only two notes, but those two notes are extremely well blended and the performance is very good on my skin. It isn't going to win awards for complexity, but this is the perfect scent to apply on a very hot and humid day. A fragrance that I will keep in my collection for a long time to come.

Follow up review after I picked up another fragrance deadly close to this. Compare this to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino! Dead ringer. I find NP smells a bit better but Arlington lasts longer. Both are great light citrus fern scents. Arlington is a better deal IMO but I'll keep both in the collection.

A light citrus and fern aroma with a bit of "musk like" finish you will enjoy without doubt. A classy scent suited for any occasion!
