My male friends are always grumbling that blog posts, beauty bags, magazine articles and beauty tips nowadays are only about WOMEN. Have we all forgotten about the male species? I hope not.
Crabtree and Evelyn has a blooming range of men's skin care products that are wonderful! The West Indian Lime does not only have such a sexy and exotic name but it really does live up to its name! With its masculine scent and its beautiful texture,it is a definite choice for a Valentine's Day gift, birthday or anniversary gift or....even if you just want your man to have that sexilicious smell! RAWR! This British West Indian Lime reveals a zesty smell of freshly picked lime and vetiver. Limes? I've heard.But 'vetiver'??
Just in case you have never heard of vetiver, it is also commonly known as perennial grass of the Poacea family,native to India. The best features of the vetiver is the aromatic verdancy, the fragrant rootiness, the refreshing citrusiness and a wonderful hint of woodliness.The oil is one of the finest oriental perfumes with a persistent fragrance and is known for its cooling properties.
In the West Indian Lime range, I would like to highlight these 3 products. The set of three soaps, the body wash and the cologne.
BODY WASH (300ML)
A zesty body wash which creates a rich lather that cleanses and deodorizes with a refreshing blend of lime, ginger and vetiver.The West Indian Lime body wash is sleekly designed in a sophisticated tinted glass bottles and has a very unique smell that will definitely enliven and awaken your senses especially after a tired day at work.
Lather up for a refreshing shower or bath, and follow with the West Indian Lime Cologne for an invigorating and energising scent.
Fragrance: Fresh limes and vetiver blended with nutmeg, ginger, coriander, and juniper
Personally, this body wash is special. It doesn't dry skin and feels great. It is extremely thick and a dime size can be used for my whole body. This bottle will last about 6 months just using a pea-size amount. Here is the great part, the scent! It smells great! Its that office kind of smell that smells professional and clean, not over powering but manly clean. The best part about this is that not many others have this scent. Unique! The scent lasts for about 4 to 5 hours before it starts to ease off. Give it a try!

COLOGNE (100ML)
Sophisticated cologne inspired by the ingredient rich West Indies, composed of notes of fresh limes, vetiver, nutmeg, ginger and coriander and blended with deep base notes of woody musk.
Don't expect this to be the average aftershave lime splash, as instead of putting the usual mixed citrus accord on top, they put tart, fresh smelling lime, and a bit of vetiver to spice things up. Underneath that you'll find some ginger and a floor of mellow sandalwood. Now, vetiver is something I personally don't think too highly of -- used in excess, it makes a scent smell like bug-spray. Here, it's about enough to make this smell a bit like a modern "sports scent" as well as a classic chypre.
Longevity is about 4-5 hours, great for a citrus scent. Fresh clean vibrant with a muskiness of an old pirate ship, sensual, but not heavy, or overpowering. just right for when you do not want to wear a perfume, but, enough to be noticed and not be overwhelmed.
Retail Price: RM148Strongly recommended! |
