The scent is wonderful, I love it, so I recommend an oil with this scent. As for the beard wash and balm it is average. I don't have a long beard at all or an incredibly thick beard, and I have to use a lot of beard wash to get the whole beard washed out, making the bottle go down quickly. The balm doesn't quite work as well as I'd like, as it's still hard to style the hair so it doesn't stand out. Overall the downside is the size of the bottles, but this is a secondary issue for me. In short, I recommend the oil, because the smell is great, and as for the rest, I would advise you to think about it, or take a "risk" and test it yourself.
