BLACKBIRD'S BEARD OIL IN ASKMEN

The first thing our testers noted about this beard oil was its intense scent. “The smell is strong and not my personal favorite,” said Marc.

“The oil was far too pungent,” Guillaume added. “In fact, my eyes watered for a time following application.” He felt the “manly, lumberjack” scent would appeal to some guys, but it was a bit much for his own taste. 

The testers also found it made their skin feel a bit irritated immediately upon application,  “as if I had applied cologne or aftershave,” described Guillaume — so if you have sensitive skin, this may not be the best option for you. 

On the plus side, Marc says, “It was easy enough to work into my beard and didn't come off as too glossy or shiny.”
