Thumbs up Lookee what my folks have offered me...



And as you can read on the bottom of the box on the right, it's official stuff, licensed by JLR...
But the leaper is not enough: there's also the lil' growler on the cap of the bottle:



Ah, I just love my folks...

Yeah, quite a bit...
I'm not much of a perfume kind of guy, so I most likely don't have a very educated nose when it comes to that topic, but I think it's manly in a discreet, not in-your-face-caveman kind of way. Elegant. Like our XKs.

A few times, I wished I had some perfume to put on, for instance on special occasions, like a fancy restaurant or things like that, but I never really bothered to try several to choose one.
So basically my parents chose for me, and did a pretty good job at that IMO. A nice gift I'm thankful for.

Does it smell a little bit like coolant?

It smells much more expensive, like premium unleaded gasoline!

Closest thing I got to that was "English Leather", sort of fitting to someone who drives a Jag.

That’s what I smell like after a drive in my E-Type.

I use the red one. Coincidentally, it is only aftershave I have found that doesn't make my nose stream!

My only regret is that on mine the bottle is opaque.
Even if, given how rarely I use perfume, it will last a while, it's a bummer not to be able to see how much is left.
