There is all types of essential oils out there that you could add to which Hazel to change the smell of it and make it to your liking.

i've tried adding essential oil of clove to dickenson's and all i got was a white cloudy mess that still stank of witch hazel.. perhaps you have had success with other brands?

the dickenson's contains 14 percent alcohol.. which i would imagine would help.. however.. it didn't.

Gentlemen:

I use Thayers Super Medicated Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera after every shave and love it. What's more, it has no significant fragrance that I can detect. I follow it with balm and aftershave lotion at spaced out intervals.

Never used Witch Hazel,but I'm a big fan of so far all the Clubman scents except for the Lilac Vegetal.True they are alcohol laden,but they are very old skool scents and I'm a huge fan. love the Clubman Special Reserve and the Lime Sec is really good.Just my opinion though.

Of the Thayer's Toners I use, the only one that smells like Witch Hazel is the "Thayers Alcohol-Free Original Witch Hazel Toner". The Rose Petal, Lavendar, and Unscented Toners do not. I can't speak for the others. Hope this helps.
