    Default SCS Aftershaves..which to try?!

    I have a few different samples, Oakmoss Lavendula, Lavender Milk, and the Blue Menth balm, and all three of them work great. So great in fact that I need such a small amount that even these small samples are going a long way.

    That said I think I really want to try one of their splashes...but I am having trouble deciding which. I am tempted to try out the Blue Menth splash as I dont have any splash with menthol in it and I do love a good cooling effect. The Hydro also seems good as I am guessing that has a cooling effect to it as well, but then at the same time I like a Sandalwood and Lavender scent too..its just so hard to decide!

    What do you guys recommend? Going for the splash route..

    I have the Sandalwood and the Savory Rose splash and they're both exceptionally nice.

    I love Med. Citrus. Blue line is also nice if you like a menthol kick.

    Woods is nice, too. Can't go wrong with any SCS AS/ASB.

    Mediterranean Citrus has a nice scent and has a bit of menthol that gives a nice, calm cooling effect starting about a minute after you put it on.

    I just put a order in for samples of Bay Rum WAT, Coconut and Lime, and Blue Line.

    It's hard to find a bad review of SCS stuff. BTW, those samples are HUGE!!! 1/2 oz of a good Aftershave should last a long, long time.

    A few drops will suffice. That Blue Line is some frigid stuff.

    I love SCS Aftershave Splashes. I have the Sandalwood, the Blue Line Menth 1, as well as Lime Extract and I have to say, I prefer them to any other aftershave splash. I, like you, ordered the samples and now I am hooked.

    I also have Sandalwood and the Savory Rose. Would recommend them highly.

    I have the Sandalwood, and I recommend it!

    Savory Rose is also a fantastic scent if you dig on the Roses.

    I ordered 4 of Sue's splashes just recently and the Med. Citrus really stands out!

    it's a great scent that really is "Mediteranian", it doesn't last too long and feels phenomenal on the skin.

    My 2 favorite SCS splashes are Lime and Dagger. The Lime is outstanding and long lasting. The Dagger is similar to Musgo Real IMO, but more affordable. I also enjoy the Dagger Cologne.
