Nelson

Middle aged Georgia cowboy here: Just got in my fragrance sampler (10 samples in just 3 days across the country - impressive) and Nelson is the 10th one I'm trying. Impressed with this one. Similar to Palmer below but a bit more of an Iced tea vibe in the middle For me 7.5/10. Of those in the sample I've tried so far from fave to least: Nelson (9/10) (piney/woodsy/sweet ice tea vibe) Palmer (9/10) (piney/woodsy) Primo (8/10) (smoky/leathery) different from the others so far, very manly Jefe (8/10) (orangey then oceanic with clean hot linen) different from the others so far, very beachy JP (7.5/10) (limey/woodsy/classy) Preston (7.5/10) (citrussy/tropical flowery/aquatic) Vince (7/10) (limey/woodsy) Marra (6/10) (limey/woodsy) Tyler (6/10) (citrussy/coconutty/woodsy) Mikul (5/10) basically Jefe without the citrus in the open but weak.

Great for fall into winter. Lasts long on fabric. Took a hoody off after spraying my neck in my car and a week later found it. Smelled string still Very pine scented wth citrus. Found guy fox in a random surf shop ij florida and this one stopped me in my tracks trying the selection out. It is exactly what ive been looking for out if a cologne. A more citrus/pine masculine cologne with long lasting power. Hilariously enough my girlfriend hates it. But this is for me

Out of the 10 Guy Fox fragrance samples i tested... Nelson is my #2. It kinda gave me pine forrest vibes, but in a sexy, classy way. Super fresh, very dry woody, clean guy scent. No sweetness here. The only other Guy Fox fragrance i loved more (not including Nightcap and Riviera) is JP. Highly recommend Nelson for sure.

It feels very juvenile, but super easy to wear, smell good, fresh, its an elegant green citrus for a daily use. I feel old for this fragance tho, it reminds me the 90’.

Nelson sorta surprised me. The initial opening gave me a hint of apple - not what I was expecting. It started to smooth out as the lavender and base woody notes appeared. While I was able to pick out some of the individual notes, the overall impact is of a really nice, smooth, creamy and fresh scent. Cedar was probably the prominent woody note, but it was still well blended with the rest as to not be too strong, or smelling like hamster bedding or cedar mulch. Yet, the patch and sandalwood weren't very strong either. The eucalyptus in the opening wasn't strong - no vapor rub scent. I guess everything was just nicely blended resulting in a pleasant, masculine and versatile scent that's also fresh but not sour. There were shades of the far dry down of Palmer here but Nelson is the superior scent. Longevity was good coming down to a still noticeable skin scent by the 10th hour while projection is more moderate - something that would make it very good for office and close quarters use. UPDATE (1/18/2025): I've completed testing all of the Guy Fox fragrances available in their two sample sets. One set is for the "Founder's Reserve" Collection while the other contains all their standard releases. Here's my ranking of all of them, with a few notes: First group, ranked in order of my preference. These are the top Guy Fox fumes in my book - full bottle worthy, with Nightcap being the best: 1. Nightcap 2. Fairway 3. Vince 4. Nelson Second group, no rank or order, just grouped together. Nice scents. I like them, but not enough to buy a FB: Aspen Primo Mikul Jefe Preston Third group, no rank or order, just grouped together. OK, somewhat generic. Mediocre performance for some: Palmer Tyler Marra JP Fourth group. Just plain awful. Was almost a scrubber for me: Riviera
