Real talk
Proper without being precious. Some colognes try too hard to modernize, Gold Medal doesn't bother. It won its gold medal in 1878 and figures that's still plenty good enough.Gold Medal
If you want a fragrance that announces itself from across the room, this isn't it. Moderate sillage means you lean in. The trade-off is a freshness that doesn't scream.Eisbach No. 5
