Naked Ape said:Ian, perhaps Trumper's Extract of West Indian Limes aftershave might make a good compromise?
Most reviewers of it on basenotes testify to its fleeting character -- around 5 mins. I've tried a sample and agree: it really doesn't last long (on my skin). But its inital fresh burst of lime really is wonderful. Just a thought.
(I may have just talked myself into buying a travel bottle of this stuff :roll: )
Professor Blighty said:You could try this mix at home...
two thirds witch hazel
one third distilled, or clean bottled water.
then add up to one drop of essential oils per mil of witch hazel.
Example, to make 100ml home made aftershave.
65ml witch hazel
35ml pure water
20 drops lavender essential oil
20 drops geranium essential oil
25 drops eucalyptus essential oil.
obviously if you don't like lavender or eucalyptus, then change the essential oils to suit yourself, but don't add more than the percentages stated or the oils won't dissipate through the witch hazel base, and then can lead to a skin infection. The one drop per mil is a maximum, if you have sensitive skin drop it down to one drop of essential oil per two mils of witch hazel.
