A man who found himself single at age 40 says he discovered an aftershave that dramatically changed his dating life. The fragrance in question is Cremo's Bourbon and Oak Eau De Toilette Cologne Spray, now available at a 25% discount as part of a limited-time Prime Day offer. Customers can use the code PRIME25 at checkout to receive the reduction, which runs until July 7.
The man shared his experience on Reddit, stating, "ended up being single at 40 and found that holy sh** man, women looooved how I smelled. Like every date I went on the girl would make a comment about my 'cologne' smelling amazing. I'm pretty sure Cremo [Bourbon & Oak line] is the reason I was able to marry a younger, more successful woman lol."

Customer Reviews and Reception
The Bourbon Oak Cologne Spray has garnered nearly 200 reviews on Cremo's website, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. One customer commented, "Bold, unique and layered all-day scent that my wife loves. I loved the body wash so much I thought I'd try out the cologne and I am glad I did. This is now my signature scent. Highly recommended." Another reviewer wrote, "An amazing scent for an amazing price! Getting back into colognes. Used to buy the super high end bottles. Won't name drop. Provides a masculine aroma without the cheese. The wife digs it."
However, some users had mixed feelings. One noted, "Admittedly, when I first got this scent as a body wash, I was on the fence about it. Sometimes I loved it; other times, not so much. As I've learned over time, scent is subjective, even to oneself, depending on day, mood, weather, etc. Long story short, I finally got this cologne over the last few days. I love it. Better late than never." Another gave a detailed review, saying, "The cologne however is very strong/powerful. I normally only use one or two sprays at most and that can be too much for me to smell on my own body and I am sure for others too as they interact with me."
One man also agreed his wife loved it, adding, "Fantastic. My wife loved it on me." A third chimed in, "I get so many compliments on this scent. People think it is from a big name department store with a hefty price tag."
