Cooper & French Benediction Barber Aftershave Balm 4 oz

Benediction offers an enchanting bouquet of several different scents in combination. A woody base provides an even feel to the profile, while a very slight floral undertone brings freshness to that earthy base. A higher citrus note brightens the mix with a slightly sweet lemon peel that remains relatively mild and tickles the nose with a scintillating refreshing tingle. There is still a bright herb-inspired note that smells like freshly cut grass in the morning with dew still resting on the surface.

If the sound of this scent seems interesting - it should - the Benediction lineup was chosen in our double-blind scent polling. It lost by a single vote, having been tested by the sophisticated shavers attending the 2019 Big Shave S'west expo in Chandler, Arizona.

But the entire story of Benediction Aftershave Balm cannot be told through the lens of that beautiful, inviting scent alone. The way the balm is absorbed quickly into your skin and doesn't leave a greasy feeling after an application is impressive, while the lightness and moisture retention of the formula offers significant skin feel improvement post-shave.

Our aftershave balm is light and absorbs easily without feeling greasy. A great alternative to an alcohol-based splash.
