T&H is famous for its shaving products, not its colognes, and they don’t offer EDT or EDP. All their fragrances are derived from their shaving lines. T&H Freshman smells citrusy and aromatic, very well-executed and balanced, super fresh and perfect for summer. HOWEVER, it has a major flaw that stops me from buying it: the longevity is ridiculous, on par with Álvarez Gómez (and even the barber shop version lasts longer), lasting less than 2 hours. The same goes for its sister scent, T&H West Indian Limes. I understand it’s an EdC and that citrus notes don’t last long, but in a cologne priced at 60-70 euros, you can’t be expected to reapply it constantly like those classic Álvarez Gómez or 4711 EdCs.
