Aspen Cologne

It's not that I dislike this cologne...considering the price point it's not a bad deal. For under ten dollars a bottle (As of this writing it is $8.50...if you click through to Amazon.com), the bang for the back isn't too bad. However, this is not a brand I would have purchased myself. I received this bottle of Aspen for Christmas, in a gift pack that also included a bottle of Gravity as well as a bottle of Preferred Stock.

As my title suggests, this cologne is a woodsy fragrance. The top notes are lemon, bergamot and mint, with middle notes of spice, lavender and vetiver. The bottom notes of this cologne contain oakmoss, amber and musk. This combination has a slightly clean, woodsy smell to it. However, in my experience the pleasant notes of this cologne evaporate with the alcohol during application, leaving mostly woodsy tones without the clean aspect. I like clean smelling fragrances, and would probably like this one much more if the clean tones remained after application.

The Aspen fragrance also fades quicker than higher end fragrances. If you intend to wear this fragrance all day, you need to bring it with you. The aroma fades very quickly after application. I don't put oodles of cologne on when I apply it. With more expensive fragrances, it normally takes a small amount to get the job done. One or two squirts will normally last all day, with fragrances such as Issey Miyake, Perry Man by Perry Ellis, Escada Pour Homme or even the less expensive Wings.
