Thread: confusion, or i am just daft.

What is the difference between aftershave, cologne, edt etc. I know (i think) that cologne and edt are similar, but one is stronger / more concentrated. Thanks in advance

For me:

aftershave - a facefull
cologne - three drops

aftershave has 1-2% essential oils and has skin healing, toning properties in. cologne has 2-4% oils so is cheaper but doesnt last as long. edt has 4-8% oils so has better sillage and longevity. if you use edt after shaving the amount of oils will more likely make your skin blotchy

also you are definitely daft

After an impromptu experement today I found out that A/S doesn't sting anywhere near as much as cologne. I also discovered that I really don't like tabac that much, after nearly drowning myself with a tester of it, but I do like cussons original, smells kind of soapy and clean, its a bit like a cleaner old spice.

Sorry to hear that Bombay.

my name is Pete by the way. thats ok, i will set up a foster home to adopt men and teach shaving, aftershaves, fly-fishing, growing tomatoes in Newcastle and stirring a gin martini

James bond would not aprove you know that don't you Pete, he would make a good man teacher, well for most things anyway. I believe J.R Hartley wrote the seminal work on fly fishing .
