    Default which aftershave do you match up with the bomb?

    my new obsession being the bomb.. i'm wondering which aftershaves you match with the different scents.. i know the easy way out is to get the matching balm.. but for those of us who love a good alcohol sting. which aftershave do you match with which scent.. here's my current setups..

    calypso with pinaud clubman bay rum
    goodfellas with old spice or pinaud clubman original
    bogeda with jovan sex appeal
    boheme with english leather

    unfortunately i only have those 4 scents right now.. the aftershaves i've chosen seen to not necessarily match the scents exactly.. but more so complement them..

    which aftershaves have you matched with the bomb?

    I've never had the scent of a cream or soap linger long enough for it to matter and just use whatever I feel like.

    You should try Proraso cream and Proraso splash, feels like you've dunked your face in a bowl of icewater. Talk about refreshing, smells great as well.

    On of my most difficult pairings is the SRD Sweet Patchouli Soap. It's a great scent that lingers for a while, one of my absolute favorites. Only problem is the lack of patchouli scented aftershave balms or splashes...

    the jovan sex appeal is patchouli.. it's like a spicy patchouli and sandelwood.. it's a real stupid name.. but smells great.

    It is a stupid name. So stupid, in fact, that I've never even considered it! I may have to find a tester somewhere...

    i don't think it comes in testers.. i got mine at rite aid.. it was $13 for 4oz.. it even has a real cheesy box with a promise that women will flock to you.. kinda like the whole hai karate adverts.

    With calypso I'll use one of my many bay rums. Since talking scent, deodorant one of ogalla bay rum mixes.

    Palmero sometimes osage rub. Deodorant ogalla sage and cedar

    Goodfellas sometimes clubman pinaud or vanilla

    But mostly witch hazel astringent for all bombs except the Calypso. Deodorant Thai crystal stick.

    As you mentioned, finish it with the matching aftershave balm.
