Murphy and McNeil - Vernal Equinox - 鬍後水 - 100ml

The black currant and leather base notes really anchor the bright herbal opening—it dries down so nicely and lasts for hours on my skin.

The mint and lemon top notes hit you immediately, making it feel incredibly fresh and invigorating after a shave. It settles into a warm leather and woods base that lasts for hours without being overpowering. Really pleased with how complex yet balanced the scent is.

I was a bit skeptical about the leather and musk base notes mixing with the mint, but once it settled on my skin, the combination was surprisingly well-balanced and lasted a good few hours. The splash itself felt very mild and didn’t sting at all, which is a first for my sensitive skin.
