    Default Crabtree & evelyn worth the price of admission ?

    Im heading into C&E next week to refill my nomad, was thinking of picking a few shower suplies up but as the title suggests was wondering if the a/s is a good performer to match scents with, does it heal well and leve your face feeling great?, does the scent last long ? any thoughts on it would help me deside thanks ?

    I have the Nomad balm. It's one of the best you can buy IMO. Scent has very good staying power for a balm. Highly recommend.

    I'm wearing the balm now and it is one of the best. The scent last all day and my wife loves it on me. It is expensive, but lasts forever.

    I'm also using the nomad balm, and I love it. It smells great, no residue... and it really does last a long time. You just need a tiny little bit the size of a pea for your whole face.

    I went to C&E for the first time today and was surprised by the price. After hearing the good reviews here I might give it a shot.

    I have the Sienna balm to match the Sienna soap and edt I have. The balm does work very well. Truth be told, I don't need my aftershaves to have incredible moisturising properties, but it still does the job for me. The scent lasts for a long time too, which is great because it smells terrific.

    I have the Sienna and I really like it. It's one of the best balms I've tried. I want to get Nomad next. I love the scent of the Nomad cream and so does TWGW.

    I have the Nomad (more than one bottle, it was on sale for half price at some point). It works great, and the smell is great. I just wish it didn't have parabens in it, but it has a cocktail of several. I won't buy any more once I finish my current stash because of that alone.

    I was in C&E today and picked up a bottle of the sienna, had a great shave with the soap as always and used the balm i had no burn after shave anyway so not sure if it helps well with that but my face feels great and smells awesome it is thick balm for sure but it feels very light and no oily feeling i am very happy with my pick up, thank you all for the recommendations here and to anyone who stumbles upon this if your not sure you can count me as one more person who thinks you will be happy with it

    They actually have a nice pump on this thing that lets you control the amount that comes out, and considering how little you need to get a good result im not so sure i would say it is expensive i think the bottle will last me a long time, specially since i will leave it in rotation along with the soap so it will only get used two or three times a week i think i can get a year out of the bottle if not more
