Acqua di Parma aftershave balms

[ChoppedGarlic]

So i am using the AdP Collezioni Barbieri shaving cream and i am loving it so much that i am thinking of buying the aftershave balm to match. The thing is that i have a slightly oily complexion and the Collezioni Barbieri ASB seems to be more appropriate for dry/normal skin. Anyone willing to share his experience with this or any other AdP balms? I am looking for something light and moisturising and definitely without alcohol, so lotions are out of the question. Original Colonia and Intensa are my favourite scents from the lineup, i don't care much about the others. Thanks in advance.

Badabump!

Has anyone tried any of the five AdP aftershave balms (Colonia, Assoluta, Intensa, Collezioni Barbieri and the new Essenza one) and has any feedback?

Love them. Pricey but good. I use the Collezione Barbierie shave cream (jar) and aftershave lotion (splash) and the Colonia Intensa aftershave balm and cologne. Very soothing and the scents are second to none.

I was looking to pick one of them but don't know which. The Collezione Barbieri ASB seems to be geared more for dry/normal skin (i have somewhat oily skin), the new Essenza (not crazy about the scent) may be right for my skin and my favourite scent of the lineup is Intensa. Decisions, decisions.

I'd go by scent. I wasn't aware they were really that different for skin types.

I think the balm would be OK for you. I have very dry skin and it wasn't greasy enough for me when I owned a bottle. Go for it, it's a great line!

I really like adp in the jar. A great cream. The ASB and splash smell great but work just ok. Truly not with the money.

The best aftershave balm I've ever used is MDC Copra Oil: http://www.savonnerie-martin-de-can.../341-huile-de-coprah-camomille-et-citron.html

Its scent is very complimentary with adp.

Which scent is lighter & more suitable for the tropics? Something which has a fresher feel. R
Recommendations anyone?
