Southern Blend

I have no idea what whiskey smells like, and tobbaco? Only in the slightest sense, so I have no idea if this is like pipe tobacco. I just know I never wore fragrance before I got this stuff and I vowed never to wear fragrance until this. I got into shaving and my Mom mentioned Tim McGraw made aftershaves she thought. Not a fan of him, I decided to look it up anyways and found no aftershave, but fragrance. Next time I was at Kohl's I tried out his fragrances and this stuff I just fell in love and bought a bottle soon after. It's sweet in a rough sort of way, very manly. I am 19 and do not like "cologny" fragrances. This smells great. It's somewhat similar to Ferrari Uomo, but without the leather (which makes it better to me). My Dad works in a shipyard and I remember an old jacket he had and for some reason this reminds me a little of it. So, it's manly. It is NOT what I'd call formal, it's just manly. Everyday and could be worn for whatever you'd like, it's just perfect. I find it works in all seasons myself, as it is not cloying or anything. In the summer it's heavier, but it's not a bad thing. Reminds me of down south. It's a fragrance of hard workers, of being outside. I think the smokiness/tobacco gives it that manliness, and probably why it reminds me of his old jacket, as it is like the smell of the smoke in the shops. So, if you want to smell like pure man without all the musk, get this. One of my favorites. How do the ladies like it? No idea hahaha!

Ran out of cologne, night of 2nd date with new gf. Find this in my roommate's cabinet, wore it with caution - little on the arms, little on the neck and I'll usually walk through a spray into the air. Not a Tim McGraw fan, don't like country at all. In fact, new girlfriend asked me if I was a redneck on the phone before the first date, I said "Hell no!". Ironic, no? Deep, deep scent here. Lots of notes. Very nice. Masculine. Here's the kicker. Mid way through make-out, we pause and whatnot.. I catch a glimpse of her through the dark literally breathing in my scent like a wild animal. It was very peppery and warm. Spicy. I got so turned on by her getting turned on by my scent we practically turned into a couple of wild savages. The bottle is officially stolen from my roommate. 3rd date tomorrow - going to be a good night. I got to her house at 5:30, cologne held on strong until around midnight. Longest lasting I've run into in my (admittedly limited) experience with cologne.

Southern blend I LOVE THIS COLOGNE BUT ITS VERY WEAK I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALOT STRONGER THEN WHAT IT WAS IT LAST ABOUT 30MINS TO 2HR TOPS I ALSO WANT TO DO A Tim McGraw silver REVIEW ON TIM McGraw silver sence its not posted Mcgraw silver is a fragrance that captures tim's core: gallant yet sensual, clean cut yet rugged. A cool, modern scent, mcgraw silver embodies the artist’s ability to remain real while masterfully riding the demands of an urban setting. With top notes of watery aromatics and green leaves, the complex formula of this woody fougere includes mid notes of lavender and orange flower with a warm, seductive base of vetiver, musk, sandalwood and saffron .... i think this is a very piss poor cologne very strong but last 30mins tops i hope tim mcgraw can find away to make a come back becuse the southern man that he is the colognes make him look very weak

Southern Blend is a surprisingly good cologne. I'm usually not a fan of celebrity-themed colognes because many of them aren't well thought-out. This is an exception. The bottle looks very cheap. The leather-textured plastic top, gilded plastic cap, and paper-sticker label don't give a good first impression. But don't judge this cologne by the bottle. The violet leaf and anise provide a nice herbal sweetness and the whiskey and tobacco form a strong earthy undertone. This is an unmistakenly masculine fragrance. I don't smell much citrus, even though it includes lemon and bergamot. The whiskey tones are well-done in that they don't smell boozy or obnoxious. Overall, Southern Blend is a great value and a surprisingly charming cologne. 7.5/10

There is no real "depth" to this, as in not giving the impression of expensive ingredients or in large dose but it smells really nice. If you're just getting started in the whole fragrance collection hobby or just want to smell nice on a budget then this is IT, especially for cooler weather. For what you get, it seems like they're almost giving it away. If you like or seek a boozy/tobacco/sensual scent then this is a place to start and then move on up to Thierry Mugler's Pure Havane or Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. McGraw's Southern Blend is certainly masculine and a keeper, a good number of people on youtube and fragrance review sites talk about lack of projection or lifespan. For me it was good, so keep that in mind.
