Thread: Almost Scent-free or Low Scent Aftershave

I would be interested in trying a low/no scent alcohol based aftershave. I don't really like the creamy kinds of stuff. It might be nice to make something myself.

Would it be possible to get something and "cut-it" in alcohol? My favorite scent so far was called something like "Oud de Quinine" from Trumpers, but I didn't put it all over my face.

This may seem like a bit of a redneck solution, but I really enjoy using straight up vodka for aftershave. No scent either.

YMMV

I really enjoy Taylor of Old Bond Street 'Eton College'. It has alcohol, and it has a very mild scent.

If it works it works (redneck and all)

While most creams are greasy and yucky to me, the proraso pre/after shave cream absorbs very well, without being greasy, almost no scent at all and gives you the minty blast of your life.

I usually cut balms with a little witch hazel ---- in the old hand,

Purell Hand Sanitizer. Very little scent, no residue, easy to apply since it's a gel at room temperature but liquifies completely at skin contact. Just enough aloe to protect your skin from the alcohol - it's designed to be used by health care professionals who might have to use it every few minutes. One pump isn't quite enough, but two works great.

Agreed, but I cut my favorite aftershave 1/1 with witch hazel by adding it directly in the AS bottle.

A little odd looking since it made the AS turn cloudy but it works the same. The WH is a good astringent, it tones down the scent of the AS so it is much more subtle and it makes the AS last longer!
