A good warming aftershave for winter?

[Laslo]

Hi folks,

Curious if anyone knows of a good "warming" aftershave to use during cold months? For context I really like my Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic A/S with Menthol, but it's a bit too "cold" for me to use during winter right now.

Any suggestions for something that will "warm up" my face?

I do like aftershaves with alcohol, because I love the burn.

If it helps, my process is: Shave ==> Thayer's ==> A/S ==> Nivea Balm

Thanks all!

To my knowledge there is no „warming“ AS formula but there are warm winter scents. For instance I like Proraso Red with Sandalwood.

Tabac Original would fit as well

Just an idea.

ok, cool. maybe a I just need to "walk away" from Menthol during the colder months (in addition to adding a warm winter scent)

That’s what most guys are doing but some warm/talcum Barbershop scents have just a little bit of menthol and can be used year around.

And if you like burn, Pinaud Clubman delivers and is a good, strong, winter splash.

Many years ago L'Occitane had a Cade AS splash. This had cayenne or capsaicin in it (a very small amount) and would slightly warm one's face. To date after trying a WHOLE LOT of AS, it's the only "warming" aftershave I've ever encountered.

Usually when any product causes my face to become warm, tingly, or hot, it's a good indication that I am allergic to said product.

Leviathan smells like a cozy old den, definitely one for the colder months.

Proraso Red is a staple for me this time of year since I find it well moisturizing, and it does leave my face feeling kind of warm. Could be just in my mind, though.

I usually do the Nivea first, then the splash, only because I like the scent of my aftershaves better than the Nivea scent.

Captains choice cat o nine tails may fit the bill.

Wow, capsaicin?!?! I would be so stressed about getting that in my eyes and/or nicks & cuts.

I never had any issues with it when I used it. But yeah if you had a rough shave with sloppy technique or a bad blade it would let you know.

About as warm and comfy it gets!

I'm not aware of a warming agent in any soaps. But for the colder months of the year, I particularly enjoy Martin de Candre Fougere.

Myrsol Formula F./Extra is my wintertime aftershave splash. That, and Myrsol Emulsion when I need a balm.

Great winter combo! I also find Blue+Emulsion nice on a crisp cold morning.

Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve. Smells like an old library with leather coaches, old pipe tobacco while you're wearing a tweed jacket and a turtleneck reading the Wall Street Journal. It's very strong. I remember cutting mine with witch hazel.

You could check out Massacre of the Innocents from Declaration Grooming. It’s a dupe of Herod the Perfums de Marley cologne, it’s known to be a warm spicy scent profile if I remember correctly.
