The dude was legit jacked for the time too
He's awarded as an "Outstanding American" in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Lincoln in in there too, though he actually was a wrestler / brawler
Also didn’t live in his mom’s basement, have a neckbeard, or a layer of Mountain Dew and Doritos around his gut.
Probably took as many baths as most redditors, though.
What are you wearing, George?…..Caswell-Massey #6, Baby!

I've never heard anyone say they want to smell like the founding fathers.
"All right. You know that shower in your house? Rip it out!"
Woah you’re right 😳
Sure, sure, but JFK didn't do too badly, right?
I like to think that the last thing that went through his mind, other than the bullet, was that he was wearing the same Cologne as Washington - Red.
I wonder what it smells like. I can never tell when they just explain it. I have to be able to smell it.
It smells great!! Clean and subtle, not chemically overbearing like a lot of men's cologne (and it does come in a cheaper cologne version). I got it for my 22 year old son and he loves it! The company was founded in the town where I live and the Caswell family built my house!
It really is an amazing scent!
Got to try it out! Thanks for the info!
Oh wow that's awesome! I hate overbearing cologne. Perfume too. I can only imagine how old your house is if the Caswell family built it!
My house isn't George Washington old, but it's pretty old! 😂

We need someone well versed in ASL. American Smell Language
That would be so cool.
It is lovely.
Same!
$225. That must smell really good!

Thank you for bringing up 4711. I haven’t thought about it in years - My mother used to wear that. It was in her regular rotation.
I feel like everyone’s mother and/or grandmother/grandfather wore it at some point.
There is a Guerlain that smells a lot like it as well, forget what it is called.
Fun fact: the term "eau de cologne" is named after the city of cologne where 4711 was founded. There is even an older perfume company in Cologne (Johann maria farina).
Maybe I'm just easy, but I love 4711. I'm allergic to anything musk-based and the lightness of 4711 is very appealing.
$225 is quite a sum but is not crazy as far as French perfume go. A very basic Channel No 5 that smells like your grandma costs 75-250 bucks depending on bottle size, and that's before import taxes and stuff
You can get the soap on a rope for only $20!
It’s been relabeled for contemporary men as Sex Panther.
Bits of real panther in it...
How often does it work?
60% of the time...
...it failed the other 40% of the time 👍
Almost usually
Hmmm. I too, wish to smell like dead guys.
🤣
I figured they'd smell like unwashed ass and wig powder.
…what do you think the cologne was for?
Or maybe Washington was giving Lafayette a subtle hint? 😯
The description actually sounds pretty nice, but that price point. Are there any similar scents out there for less?

>>This edition of Number Six was re-mastered in 2018 by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec, who selected floral and herbal varieties true to the types of oils available when the fragrance was originally created and combined these with newly available molecular captures, distillation, and blending techniques.
So not the same one. A new "remastered version"
new old fashioned recipe?
Farina 1709 is a wonderful cologne as well with a long history as well.
And those guys are all dead. You can keep your death stank thank you very much!
Hard pass if it comes in a spray applicator, way too much comes out with those
and napoleon wore this fragrance that can be bought for 88 euros. i hear it smells like a typical old man cologne.
