Lidl Aftershave

If you live in Italy is Proraso aftershave not dirt cheap at about £3 a bottle?
I've never tried Proraso but is it hugely different from Boots Freshwood?
People rave about Palmolive sticks, and they are fantastic, extremely cheap and very common.
 
I have the EDT version of xbolt, I have tried it a few times but I am still not sure, I can't tell what it smells like to be honest, Its not a bad scent and for the money I think its ok... maybe ..

I'll have a look at Aldi tomorrow when we go, a friend works for a local sea food packer/distributor and often passes on freebees, the packs of mussels that go to Aldi and M&S are exactly the same apart from the label and price. In my mind its not that Aldi are cheap its more that the big players have been pulling our pants down for far too long.
 
I like Aldi/Lidl but I've never bothered looking at grooming products. I received a gift set called 'Laghmani' one year. The name alone says it all. You know in seaside towns, those jars of sweets you buy that taste like the smell of the inside of the shop? Dusty and damp. Laghmani had the same vibe - it smelt like a musty store room. I would imagine Lidl aftershave to smell similar, although recent blind smell tests in the media tell me otherwise.

I just always saw fragrances as a luxury item that you buy and use sparingly. Using £1 'jollop' seems like smellies for the sake of smellies.

EDIT: A/S balms on the other hand, I will check those out if I see them. Maybe I'll finally find something equivalent to Nivea Sensitive or Trumper's Skin Food!

Few years ago I worked in logistics analysis for a big supply chain management specialist, and from what I gathered the story behind cheap and cheaper fragrances is a bit more complex than cheap=not on par.

These fragrances get sold in volumes much higher than the expensive stuff so nill fu--ck ups permitted, the resources invested in creating a knock-off like x-bolt are probably not far off than what got invested in creating the original H.Boss, it's just how they do business (ie narrow margins/no share holders/high volume production).

X Bolt half price ie down from the ridiculous £3.99 to £1.99 this weekend

Surely the shelf has room for one more bottle at the price of less than a pint of beer

I love the scent of HB, and this is a cheap clone might get a bottle later today when I go to get milk.
