I was recently able to pick up a large bottle of my favorite cologne (Creed BdP) at a great price and can now wear it much more often. I typically only wear one scent for at least 3 - 5 years at a time, although I do not wear cologne every day. I want to select an AS for days I wear cologne that complements, enhances, or has no impact on the cologne, but not one that detracts from it. I am not sure if I should focus on matching the top, middle, or base notes when deciding on an aftershave?

I only use AS balms or thick lotions due to dry skin and while I have quite a few shaving soaps and creams, I tend to be somewhat limited on my selection of aftershave balms, mostly due to superior moisturizing requirements. Currently I am using Castle Forbes lavender AS balm which works amazingly well for me, much better than skin food or any facial moisturizers. I am also open to a scentless balms.

Below is the information about the cologne if this is of any help. I'd appreciate either a general rule of thumb (i.e. focus on base notes, top notes, etc.) or a specific scent listed below that I should use to select an aftershave.

Thanks for any help! I've searched through a few threads, but not found anything that has answered my question.
