Dropped into Pasteur and bought a bottle of Respect aftershave balm. My experience with balms is fairly limited--Proraso (all of them, I think); Nivea Sensitive Skin; Neutrogena; Razorock, Art of Shaving.
The scent is lime and patchouli. The latter dominates after the first half hour and it's a truly wonderful patchouli. I love the fragrance and would've bought the Respect soap but am on a self-imposed soap moratorium.
The balm is fairly thick. It's easy to dispense. It felt wonderful with a light menthol kick. My face loved it, soaked it in. Enormously soothing. And reasonably priced.
I have a new favorite balm. Will go back next week for another scent.
