Review (4/5): A nice little starter, or travel, set
For Christmas I’d bought my guy the Rugged & Dapper candle that smelled like a walk in the forest in the winter! I wanted to keep it for myself, it smelled so good. He loves it.
So, I ordered this travel-sized set for him to try. He’s a kind of wash-and-go guy but I this set will be a nice set for him to try out something new.
Do note these bottles are small—they are travel-sized; think travel or sample sized. They won’t last long. This is a starter set or something you do take to travel with.
There is a shampoo/body wash, a facial scrub, facial moisturizer, and a lip balm.
The shampoo and body wash has almost the same type of scent as the candle—not as spruce tree forward but it does have a pine-y woodsy scent. I see other reviews compare it to floor cleaner but I like the scent—the reason people may think that is the pine scent may remind some of some types of floor cleaner, but for me it is a fresh woodsy-pine-scent.
The facial scrub has tiny beads in it. The scent isn’t quite as apparent in the scrub as it is in the shampoo/body wash. It does have an exfoliating quality to it.
The moisturizer is unscented. It’s a light moisturizer. It’d be good for my guy in winter when our air is particularly dry.
I like the lip balm a lot. It’s very emollient and feels super good going on (I tried it!) It has a cool refreshing feel to it after you apply it. Really nice lip balm.
I think my bf will like this set a lot to try out using specialized skin care products instead of just using soap on his face and go.
Rugged & Dapper is a little on the pricy side for someone who’s doesn’t follow a skin-care regime so I don’t know that he’d purchase these items again; however, the price isn’t all that bad for someone who does regularly use specialty skin-care products.
He’ll enjoy this set, but if he does not like something, I’ll come back to report that here.
I hope my review helped you today.
