Thread: Home made aftershave splash - howto and ideas

Have you ever made a lime aftershave? I started with lime vodka, 750L - added about 40 - 50 drops of Key Lime essential oil ( I guess that would be my base oil) and then I added about 30 or so drops of Kermit's cold pressed true Key lime oil for color and for that extra added lime scent strength. I just used my nose and skin for a test? So far it has turned out Ok. I perhaps could make it stronger if I wanted to. Though, I think you have to be careful with lime oil because it can burn your skin or cause a reaction if it is too strong. I thought about using the Key Lime zest and putting it in the bottle as if I was making my own lemoncello and allowing the zest to age like the drink - but since I have the true lime oil why bother. Do you know if there is a better recipe out there for lime cologne & aftershave? I would just like to get it in it's proper proportions.
