Thread: Which Castle Forbes after shave balm?

OK, so I thought it would be fun to make this a poll. I love the Lime scent as I can pair that with any other EdT or EdP that I own (well, roughly) and I have owned it in the past. But the Lavender is marketed as suitable for sensitive skins, so it may be more soothing/gentle, although I've not tried it to see for myself.

I also tried the 1445 at one point and that was a whole good scent all on its own!

So, which would you go for and why? Please vote!

I wish I could answer your question. But I've only tried the CF Limes balm. The other 3 are on my acquisition list but there's only so much $, shelf space/mental space and days of the year to try new product. I had a TSA/travel size of both Limes SC and balm and found them both wonderful in scent and performance. Is the 1445 different enough from limes to be worth a try?

The 1445 is a whole new scent on it's own. It's a resinous fern-like scent with hints of sandalwood. It makes for a very good cologne on it's own, in fact is pairs well with the 1445 cologne, but I personally couldn't wear this balm. It has a "smell" that lingers for more than I can accommodate as I prefer to wear cologne separately to my AS balm.
