    Default Maybe a weird post. But recommendation on Aftershave.

    Hey!

    I am looking for an aftershave that 1. Contains Alcohol and 2. Smells fruits, but not a lime scent. Something along the lines of Armani Code aftershave but with alcohol (the Armani aftershave is a balm similar to Nivea, it either just doesn't work for me as a moisturizer or I am allergic to something in it that is not found in other aftershaves).

    Thanks so much!

    Edit: Sorry for being so specific/picky

    I used Channel "Allure" for awhile. It had a citrus tone to it also. I am pretty much stuck on the Channel line of products. They smell good but don't enter the room before you or stay 2 hours after your gone. Can't remember about the alcohol content.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Not familiar with Armani code off-hand. Based on the recommendations so far, I'm assuming something citrus? 4711 is good stuff. Especially if you are into vintage. But 4711 lasts about 2 seconds. Then there is Lanman and Kemp Florida Water. Also very vintage, old school with citrus. My favorite, still assuming citrus, is Caswell-Massey's No. 6 aftershave and cologne. Was reported to be George Washington's favorite.

    I have this on order, DR Harris Arlington - Citrus, Fern AS from SRD and some Osage rub gearing up for spring/summer here. I have the Arlington shave stick and like the scent, it's light and not overpowering, it reminds me of 4711, but may have more staying power. I use DR Harris Marlborough AS and it has a nice effect, good stuff!

    T&H Trafalgar is very citrusy and I think it contains alcohol...It also has really good staying power...
