    I use T&H Trafalgar but haven't tried the 1805. Pretty much anything from them or Castle Forbes is going to be good. It's about what you like, since you're the one who's going to wear it!

    My favorite. It reminds of going to the barbershop when I was a kid.

    Ice cold river water if you happen to be stuck in the woods, but I guess your not stuck so Alt-Innsbruck or Clubman special reserve is good.

    Edwin Jagger has a sandalwood aftershave lotion that is, in my opinion, fantastic.

    Have you thought about Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar? It's a great, long lasting, quite strong scent that's really citrussy and fresh, yet at the same time 'gentlemanly' enough for the office. Probably more of a spring and summer scent than a winter scent.

    I find (found, I haven't used it for 30 years) Old Spice to be a sweet smell. Dominica Bay Rum is very sweet; but maybe not an 'occasion' scent unless mixed with an Eau de Toilette. 'Whisky' by Evaflor goes really well with Bay Rum, and extends and complicates its scent further in to the afternoon...

    However, if you want a balm aftershave for the cooler months, you can't go past Madame Scodioli 'Step Right Up' aftershave. This stuff is so 'balmy' it's like something you'd anoint someone feet with or something. The scent is intoxicating; it's essentially a drug, I'm sure it would be banned in some countries...

    Oh, I see someone already said T&H Trafalgar, so plus one for them.

    I would stay away from the Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood, unless you have smelled it before and liked it. Very different from other sandalwood scents, I have braved almost throught a jar of the shaving cream because it is good cream, but I would not want to smell like that for an extended period of time. The other scents from the line would be fine though.

    My favorite aftershave right now is the Floid Blue followed by some Clubman talc.
