Review on Grave Before Shave Cigar Blend by Sandra Allen

Well, it doesn't smell like cigar or tobacco or even pipe tobacco (I see it was mentioned in some reviews). Nothing like any tobacco product I've ever sniffed. To me it smells like...well...something like Coke. It's definitely a sweet smell, and a hint of vanilla gives it a weird cola or root beer smell. It's not necessarily bad, but it was totally unexpected. And that's just in the bottle (before use). For some reason, when it hits the beard, it smells slightly different. The vanilla tones definitely stand out more, but the smell of tobacco is still not there. Just a pleasant smell, not overpowering but again unexpected. For moisturizing purposes, it does its job. My beard and skin felt great and they looked great too. What I liked most about the product is that the smell just goes away instead of turning into a new, bad smell. If you've tried as many scented beard oils as I have, you know what I mean. Instead of switching to something less pleasant after a few hours, the smell just goes away, which I really like. All in all I would buy the product and this fragrance again.
