Greetings! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day today, I was going to wait and do this review on Youtube, but I figured I hadn't posted an actual review in a little while on here, so here it is.
Today I have another Cremo fragrance for you, Bourbon and Oak. This is my second review of them, so I hope you enjoy it! I was sent this for free by Cremo, but it doesn't impact my thoughts on them and I do not have any sponsorships from Cremo, nor do I get anything for reviewing this product. Let's get into it!
The presentation is the same as every Cremo, so I will not cover that this time. If you are interested in that, then check out my Blue Cedar and Cypress review.
Notes
Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Whiskey, Vanilla, and Oak.
(This is what I get from it. The official notes only list distiller's spices, whiskey, and oak)
The Scent
Opening
You get a big dose of dry spices right after you spray Bourbon and Oak. A slight nutty nuance from the nutmeg and a subtle warmness from the spice work to start laying the groundwork for the whiskey note. The cardamom then starts to emerge and adds a bit of sweetness, although it is still a bit dry like the other spices.
Dry Down
As the top starts melding into the base and heart notes the vanilla emerges. It's more of a vanilla flavoring smell than an actual creamy or gourmand smell. After this, the whiskey lends its slight sweetness to the composition. The whiskey is not as sweet as most whiskey notes are.
Finally, the most prominent note in this fragrance comes to life, the oak. It's dry, woody, and potent. This gives the fragrance the feeling of an oak barrel that was used to age whiskey in it, not an actual shot of whiskey. The smell is quite pleasant and I enjoy it.
Performance
I get about an hour and a half of projection before it becomes a skin scent. In total, I get around 6 hours from this one. A lot of people on Fragrantica rated it much higher, but that is how body chemistry works sometimes. I am not going to complain about 6 hours though, that is good enough for me.
When to Wear it
This is certainly a cold weather scent. It's spicy and woody with a bit of booze. This is a night out or possibly even a date night scent if you don't enjoy the super sweet gourmands and spicy fragrances that are typically used for dates these days.
You could wear this with a suit or casually, but I wouldn't wear it to work since it does have a noticeable boozy note.
This fragrance is purely masculine to me. The dryness of it doesn't seem like it would work well on a woman, but to each their own, in that regard.
Overall Impression
Cremo has done it again. They made something simple and efficient for the price they are asking. It's quite nice and smells a bit more expensive than its price tag suggests. The oak note is really beautifully done and realistic. For 23 bucks, this is a winner to me. If i was to go out and purchase this I wouldn't think twice about it.
Conclusion
This review was a bit shorter, but I hope you still enjoyed it. My Youtube channel will be launching soon. I am waiting on my logo and some other stuff to fall into place. I hope you enjoy it.
I hope everyone has a great day. Keep smelling great and doing great. Until next time, be blessed.
