Hi guys so I have been in contact with the lovely Georgia Gonzalalez over at TOBS. She has kindly sent a lovely sample pack, for our perusal. It contains:
TOBS Platinum Collection cream x 1
Platinum Collection spray (will clarify class of cologne) x 3
Here it is in a lovely shiny metallic tin (again will clarify if it's plastic or otherwise shortly) as shown below:
Apologies for the poor picture, just got home so frantic. I couldn't resist a few squirts of the aftershave. It is an interesting combination. It starts off to my nose as TOBS St James. Straight up crisp cool cologne. It stops there. Yes literally an opening for a few minutes. The base notes pull through and it's not something I've smelt from TOBS before. It's darker yet sweetened by the top notes. It sticks close to the skin (2 hours into wear) after the opening so hard to detect specific notes. I would guess at, Sandalwood (not the same scent as their cream/soap) almost an incense like tone, light smoke, musk. Hard one.
Anyway try it for yourself. Let's start the pass around. As per usual add your name to list below and let's gather some feedback. I will send Georgina the link to the thread, so I welcome here feedback too.
I haven't used the cream as yet but from the tub it is towards the lighter TOBS fragrances. Many creams intensify their scent profile with the addition of water, so I'll hold judgement.
Let's see how long the tub lasts
