Cologne. After shave.

[WelshGin]

Forgive me, I thought I had already posted this.

My favourite after shave was 'Edition' produced by Dunhill. I do not believe it is available now. It was fresh, envigorating, clean and vibrant. Citrus, spice and, well something else, eastern origin possibly.

A few weeks ago while in the kitchen using my Airstill I spilt from a trial jar some 60 - 70%Abv Gin, re-distilled with fresh botanicals including orange peel, Rhubarb and ginger root. My wife at that time walking in and asked what the smell was. She commented on its familiarity with what I used to where as aftershave.

I saved some of the fluid in an empty SS essence 50ml bottle. I ninitally forgot, however, perhaps one week later, I applied it to my ugly old freshly shaved face in the morning. Yes it woke me up! Later that day while on a production line attempting to explain torque upon a soft fixing to an Eastern European assembly operator, she asked what I was wearing. I looked at my company shirt, she said it smells nice.....

So. Who has any experience of producing fragrance/cologne/after shave?

Needless to say, I do not have sensitive skin.

No, but an interesting thought and most purfume is alcohol based.

Gin that makes you smell good.

Thank you. I will explore this subject.

I liberally throw large quantities of Gin down my neck. I know 'er in doors
really does not like the belching and farting which accompany this rugby
watching habit and as for the grand finale the snoring for which I am all
alone!! Not once has she commented on my scent. Maybe it is masked by
the second activity.

Consume even more Gin. Farting will become eu du Parfume.

Snoring? Switch a Still on! Distract your wife, has she not developed tinnitus yet.

My wife has turrets, live with it, ignore it, give her the good grace of understanding.

Because it pleases me......
