Bath and Body Works Signature Collection Cologne Mahogany Woods For Men 3.4 Fl Ounce

I tried this a few weeks ago in a Bath and Body Works store and really enjoyed it, which surprised me a bit since I normally prefer niche quality colognes and/or perfumes. I didn't buy it at that time, because I wanted to evaluate the drydown and performance. Well, it lasted approximately 8 hours on my skin which I consider to be exceptional, especially considering it's an inexpensive cologne. It's very sweet due to the amber and vanilla with a "boozy" quality for lack of a better term. For comparison's sake, it smells similar to CK Shock (more so on the drydown rather than the initial spray). It also vaguely resembles Perry Ellis M and/or YSL La Nuit De L'Homme, but much less so than CK Shock. Also, my wife loved the smell immediately and wanted me to purchase it on the spot. If you're a fan of sweet smelling perfumes you might want to put this one on your "must buy" list, especially considering high performance and low price.

Ever noticed how some colognes are all, "yeah bro, we're doing this" at 6 A.M. and then like, "Sorry, B... I'm out" at noon? That's this cologne. As a sensitive Gen-X'er, I'm not adverse to ever-bubbly, wonderfully-scented B&BW body wash. I enjoy a full loofah, a dabble of Mahogany body-wash and some deep music in the shower. My most profound thoughts of all time have happened in that cavernous, dark, steam (and most likely, toxic mold) filled, water closet... I'm fond of it. When i found Mahogany Woods, i surrendered Endless Weekend, opting for the more masculine sounding Mahogany Woods, which triggered pool tables, whiskey barrels and lumberjacks in my mind, immediately. I thought of old leather and smoky hair after a campfire... man things. I knew that i was a fuller man immediately. I stopped man-scaping and grew a beard. I crushed beer cans on my head and screamed at the TV during college basketball games... i really went the distance and wondered only, "If i could take this man-smell with me, could i lord over a harem of doting lady-folks?I ordered it the next morning.When it came, i put it on and did three thousand push ups, one handed. I was ready to face the world the next day, going over and over in my head how I'd play coy and bashful when ladies started attacking me and offering their tender bodies to me as food for my masculinity... I dreamed of the king i would become and how I'd have to find a lady-lawyer to get me out of this marriage with this woman who was okay when i couldnt date supermodels, but now, needed to go... I knew it started with a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast.When i woke and showered, i thought about putting "The Woods" on immediately, for a well-worn-in smell by the time I got to work, but decided to deuce it up first, using The Woods as both a bathroom deodorizer and a man magnifier. I went heavy, three or four pumps, two of them in the same spot! My eyes watered as my mind found solace in returning to The Woods. No longer did i have to be in the shower to smell like old-chewing tobacco and straight-razors! I coughed out the blood and puss from inhaling that much cologne and readied myself for work.In my Ford Fusion, i selected the appropriate playlist and backed out of the driveway, trying to tell real objects from the ones i was hallucinating because of the massive amounts of The Woods inside my lung tissue. I cracked the window and started driving. I wasnt thinking about the effect The Woods would have on other drivers, until it was too late. Women were swerving and weaving like drunken sailors, as i imagined tree-forts, tank tops and unnecessarily tall work boots, basking in the mystery of man-scents. They were yelling inappropriate things that i cannot repeat on a family site like Amazon, but we'll just say there was some lewd gesturing as well...anyway, i drove defensively and sealed myself in, now mostly hooked on this strange new hallucinogen. I knew i was going to need a night club name, something catchy, so i went with T-Dog... I would be the guy to know, the guy who still did the Funky-Chicken and the Electric Slide, but with the sort of panache needed to make the Electric Slide sexy, as it used to be. I was going to get to work, let those little rats smell me and quit with a lot of curse words and fanning myself, where I'd fall delicately into the waiting arms of that chick who works three cubicles down from me... Yeah, it was all to be mine...By the time i got to work i was hoarse from screaming profanities at fellow drivers, who i can obviously drive better than. I let those guys have it and then... i dropped The Woods in their lap as i sped off, fleeing the inevitable pursuit. I spilled my coffee as i parked that Ford and let go of my door, which of course opened and thumped the car next to me. i thought.. "as long as there's no dent..." and looked, seeing not only a dent but the paint that was missing from my maroon Ford, now stuck to the "space-age-gray" BMW i'd hit. Well, now there was no option but to leave a note with my insurance information... so i rolled down my window and looked for clues as to whom i should address the apology. I only saw a handicapped visor-thingy and a brand new, unopened box of hot breakfast cereal. Instantly i relaxed and dismissed the idea of admitting anything. that old-bag wasn't gonna catch me.Into work with renewed purpose. Kicking the door open, i did three of the key Hokey-Pokey moves and spun beneath the ceiling fan. as my scent drifted near and far, we heard only the sounds of the Eagles, soaring in their desert abode.(Hotel California was on Muzak, followed by Tori Amos and whats-her-name, from The Titanic...) My boss came out from her office and i dare say, i uh... i think let her have a piece of my mind, and my smell. she stopped in place, having seen me Hokey-Pokey and turn myself around beneath the fan, and looked into my eyes listlessly, before uttering, "Are you high? You're eyes are really red."Aghast at her tolerance for man-scent, i spun again until Judy called security and told them to remove me from the building. I paused, deer in the headlights for too long, before i smelled my shirt collar and frowned. All that lingered was my usual smell of a two-days-worn shirt and hot Funyons... The Woods had drifted away under that sparkling ceiling fan or maybe during those heated, YouTube worthy, road-rage episodes where for free, i told everyone not how to drive, but how terrible i thought they were, at it.I was broken. I was mortal and unemployed. i was stuck with that old lady who'd been living with me for some time. Women walked by me unaffected, as i wept audibly, at Judy's door, begging for her to forget the things i said about her lazy eye and "fair" (albino) skin. Judy screamed something about a tazer and then everything went white for a moment, then black. :)There are stronger, more dependable scents, out there. Try one a' them. I know, little fella. I love the smell of it too.

I had originally bought the body wash after such great reviews. I love the smell of the body wash and this is that same exact smell only stronger and longer lasting. I have a lot of different colognes, none of which I wear regularly or have any preference over. This is my new go to. The smell is soothing enough that it doesn't overpower the nose and it doesn't smell like traditional colognes meaning no one complains about it. The one thing I can describe it comes from the memory of walking by Cinnabun in the mall. A sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon with a hint of smokeyness. I have had a lot of compliments from it and a few of my friends have even bought it much to my chagrin.

I really enjoy the complex smells of this cologne and have received compliments about it, however, I find that it doesn't last nearly as long as advertised. Within an hour it has faded considerably, and by the second hour its almost completely vanished. I would expect a much longer lasting presence out of the product.

Not a long lasting scent like described and way to much money for this item .

Item was as described and arrived on time

The product did not meet my expectation. It's strength was 3 out of 10. The cologne scent didn't last 5 minutes. Unacceptable in every respect. I ordered two bottles of an inferior product.

LOVE this cologne. It's so damn hard to.find and I'm 90% sure they've stopped making it for SOME I
