No, no! Don't rub the worm on your face! That's for the hanging worm test.

Now I have to get some Tequila to compare, lol!

But...I have never made that connection and I use Dickinson's after every shave.

Ditto, I use WH after most every shave. While it's been quite a while since I've had tequilla, I've neve really made the connection. I get more of a rubber (i.e. new swim fins or the showroom of a tire store) kinda smell out of witch hazel

Has anyone else had this experience or am I just crazy?

Yes, it smells EXACTLY like tequila! But, the smell fades almost instantly. Witch Hazel is the best aftershave out there because it's actually good for your skin, and, more importantly, it doesn't stink you up like an adolescent male ("too much cologne is not enough!") or a recent male immigrant from a third-world country ("what do you mean, waiters should not wear cologne, I wear it everywhere" -- in response to cologne-scented coffee, eggs and toast).

Hmmm. I've been here a few years now, off and on, and I must say witch hazel appears to be one of those magical things that is different to everyone who perceives it, reflecting the inner nature of their souls. For me, I get a woody herbaceous smell, which I like. Some people seem to think that it smells like the dank development of "aroma" found in a men's locker room!

I agree, I thought the same thing when I first smelled uncented witch hazel.

Thayers makes some nice scented witch hazels. I use the Rose Petal after every shave...............Again, ...Personal preference. The scent is short lived and doesn't interfear with any aftershave/cologne applied afterwards............
