The Father's Day gift men are calling 'better than £80 designer aftershave'
Father's Day is around the corner (June 21, to be precise), and Brits say they've found a present that's guaranteed to impress the old man.
With hundreds of five-star reviews, men are raving about a little-known aftershave that has been hailed 'better than designer'.
The £35 fragrance in question is described as a 'sensory experience' online and boasts top notes of bright cardamon, palo santo and dry papyrus.
The best part? Some shoppers have claimed it's just as good as top brands such as YSL or Mont Blanc, but without the eye-watering price tag.

"I get more compliments on this bottle of cologne than I do on my £80 bottles," one review reads. "Different in a good way is the best way to describe the smell."

"I get so many compliments on this scent," a second chimed. "People think it is from a big name department store with a hefty price tag."
A third added: "I have worked with French luxury perfume companies for the past 20 years and this scent hits a home run. It's long lasting, has movement [and is] wearable year round, plus suitable for day or evening wear."
What is the aftershave everyone is raving about?
Cremo's £34.95 Palo Santo Eau de Toilette is flying from the shelves, and blokes say they've been flooded with compliments since wearing the aftershave that allegedly lasts all day.
"It is unique and not too strong, but perfect for when that special woman gets up close and personal," one shopper shared.

"She catches the scent, and I can tell she's thinking about it. What is it? What kind of a man is this? She's intrigued, interested, and she wants to learn more. Need I say more?"
Another added: "Amazing, I get nothing but compliments. It also keeps fragrance all day."
"This cologne is better than great," a third said. "I have received more compliments everywhere I go since I began using it, asking what I was wearing."
