It’s a great aftershave on the skin. Has a goodly amount of soothing witch hazel and just a hint menthol which cools pleasantly. The scent is marvellous - got the EdT on as I type. The AS actually has good longevity scent wise. I can recommend it very highly.
That’s why I’m so fond of Boot’s Freshwood having the castor in it. I got a wee bottle of food-grade pure vegetable glycerine and I added some to my Benjamin’s along with peppermint and West Indian Bay EOs (I already had these lying around from prior beard oil jiggery pokery buggering about). Ruddy marvellous, so it is! Just enough peppermint to offer the background cooling without being too minty on the scent and super enriched with that wonderful bay stink. I have some organic castor oil somewhere too and have read that it has emulsifying properties so may have to slop some in. Watch this space…
Are these aftershaves or EDT's?
All are aftershaves
Pix or didn't happen...All are aftershaves
O ye of little faith. The Givenchy and Paco Rabanne are later purchases of ones I've had before and decanted into spray bottles. The Givenchy came as part of a travel(?) set, with EDT and soap. I have other vintage aftershaves, too - Polo, Hai Karate, Brut, Fahrenheit, Goya Cedarwood, Yardley Black Label, Imperial Leather, Old Spice and Tabac. I'm given to smelling like a tart's handkerchief (borrowed from a James Bond film).
