CRABTREE & EVELYN-Nomad aftershave balm

Boring and oily. I don't know how anyone could say Nomad isn't oily - unless I got a bad batch. Smells exactly like Polo, but the packaging is cool!!! I like the camel.

I have the Nomad trifecta; the shave soap, AS balm, and EDT. All 3 are exceptional quality products.

This balm is VERY balmy. If you are familiar with aftershave milk, know that this stuff is way, waaay thicker. I think it's just slightly thinner than proraso pre/post cream. It's that thick. I like it.

Price is about average. It doesn't get a 10 because it just doesn't steal the show, making it an AS balm that rarely gets used in my rotation.

Quality is very good. The AS is nice, and the bottle and atomizer are superior to others I've seen.

No cooling sensation. No problem.

Scent is amazing. I love the earthy, bamboo-like scent of Nomad. It is truly distinct and classy, IMHO. It's very masculine also. Not for the faint of heart.

I believe it to be very moisturizing. After all, it is an AS balm. It was designed to restore moisture to freshly shaved skin. Works quite effectively too, might I add. My skin doesn't feel greasy after application, just very supple and smooth. I will have to say there is a very slight tingling sensation upon application. Only lasts for a few seconds. Not that big of a deal to me, as the pros outweigh the cons.

I would recommend this product.

A quality product, loved the scent and the non-sticky-to-the-ground bottom coating of the bottle. However the balm went bad after few years, which is sad on one hand but positive on the other (perhaps it shows good list of ingredients).
