As a longtime user of AdP Colonia I had high hopes for Stirling’s Piacenza (I took a gamble and got the whole set, from soap to oil to shave soap to after shave to this EdT). Expectations exceeded! Not only does this EdT smell like a dead ringer of AdP, it has the wonderful added benefit of greater longevity on the skin. My one and only beef, historically, with AdP, is the short life it lives on the skin (not an insignificant complaint given its high cost). Not so much with its neighbor, Piacenza, which lingers for such a delightfully long time. And when you begin with Stirling’s soap and continue with a shave in this wonderful scent, finishing with a few sprays of the EdT, it’s such a great, uplifting, and confidence-building experience. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a bottle of this magical potion. Bravo, Rod and Mandy!
