Title pretty much says it all. I'm after a nice sweet style balsam fir/Christmas tree scent for both an aftershave and cologne. Doesn't have to be the same brand. Also looking for something on the more affordable side if possible
Looking for a nice sweet balsam aftershave and cologne
- Thread starter NEPA507
- Start date
Antonio Puig - Agua Brava
Pino Silvestre - Aqua di Pino Fougere
4711 Acqua Colonia Intense Wakening Woods Of Scandinavia
Coty Aspen for Men
With the exception of Agua Brava all of the above have a fir note in them, Agua Brava is pine. Some of those also have a conifer note.
All of the above are very affordable scents; I didn't include any expensive ones. I do have to note though that I don't own any of the above scents, but I've been looking at Antonio Puig, Pino Silvestre and the new 4711 scents for a while now. I might just pick up one or two of my own recommendations at some point.
On the aftershave side, Noble Otter - 'Tis the Season comes to mind.

Thanks I'll definitely check these out. Walmart used to carry Aspen when I was a kid i feel like. I like Stirling evergreen forest as a reference and plan to stock up this fall. Some vendors have it left over now but I'll get through the summer easily with my Scotts pine sheep. This is more of the tar pine/pine-sol type scent though
Probably difficult to find such scents this time of year. Stirling has a few seasonals "Christmas Eve" and "Evergreen forest" but i've personally never tried either- you'll have to wait for these to be released, anyway. The best one i've tried in this scent category would be "Taiga" from Barrister & Mann- also a seasonal and currently not available.
cedar might also work for this.
several nice options.
altho not especially cheap.

It is seasonal. Just be careful ordering it out of season. I had their smoking bishop separate on me due to I’m guessing improper storage by the vendor
Stirling’s Ozark Mountains is a great pine/balsam fir type scent
Barrister and Mann "Taiga": This is a solid choice for a balsam fir aftershave. It’s got that woodsy, evergreen scent you’re looking for, with a nice touch of sweetness. Barrister and Mann is known for their quality, and their aftershaves tend to be nourishing for the skin, too.
Chiseled Face "Midnight Stag": While not purely balsam, it’s got a rich, woodsy vibe that leans towards that Christmas tree scent. It’s a bit more rugged and has some leather notes, but the fir is definitely in there.
PAA "Pineapple Bay Rum": If you’re open to a twist, this one blends the Christmas tree feel with a hint of sweetness from pineapple. It’s unique, affordable, and gives that festive vibe with a tropical twist.
