M&S Woodspice

[DeeCee]

I was gifted a set of 3 of these and really like the scent of them. I do however find that they are very drying on my skin and cause spots if I use them...... Does anyone else find this? I might try them again just to make sure it wasn't a complete coincidence.

 

[Nishy]

Not had those issues myself I found the product to be quite oily on the skin.

Occasionally been tempted to try them, I like the look of the bottles and the price is right but I'm always turned off when I sniff them in store. As such I can't advise regarding them causing breakouts but can tell you some aftershaves have the same effect on me so it's very much possible.

The autograph a/s is definitely worth a punt, a nice strong manly profile which lasts for a decent amount of time too.

Thanks Nishy, I'll give it a sniff next time I'm nearby. The only one I can recommend unreservedly is the Aqua range which is a 99% match for the original 1994 Issey Miyake, no splash unfortunately but there is a balm. Harvard is their Eau Sauvage clone which seems to fly under most peoples radar

 

[Nishy]

Ah yes I did buy Harvard as well. To my undignified nose it smelt very similar to the old Ferrari a/s. Hits you between the eyes, very manly and heavy

Sauvage in other words (savage/wild)

I must admit I've not really paid much attention to their other offerings... Must take a look next time I'm in town. I think I'll persevere and see how I get on!
