I've found FW is deceptively dominant in mixes. i use Zatgai's orange spice with 2 parts old spice and 1 part FW.

It overpowered Aqua Velva.... which says a LOT!
This continues to be intriguing ... agree that 4711 is a valid component; more AS than cologne.
What WOULD you call VIBR+Tabac? ... tempted to try that.
And again all those Crusellas Kolonias are fair game for the B&B Jekyll n' Hyde Laboratory ... something great must result.

. What do you think about "smoking pirate"
Yeah. Edward Teach/Blackbeard with the smoking fuses around his head ...
tobacco and rum = Cuba, though.
"Tierra de tobacco y ron... " Bene More

How about the rum beard the pirate
Whatever you think; I didn't think of that one! and still have to try it.
Got plenty of Tabac, though.

Stumbled on one today by mistake, but WOW... IS IT AMAZING! I put on Tabac, then got distracted and left the bathroom. When I got back I grabbed my 4711 and Florida Water and applied liberally. Then I realized... I had already used a small amount of Tabac. Smelled my hands and realized that these three work very well together. The Tabac is mellowed, and I think the 4711 and Florida Water are enhanced and the longevity of the 4711 and FW, imho, is increased.
Of course I really love my 4711 and FW so I may be a bit biased.

I'll go with Napoleon on the Beach with 50/50 4711 & Florida Water and
Rumbeard the Pirate 50/50 VIBR and Tabac
not an original, one of bootleggers this morning: English Leather, Classic Vanilla and Special Reserve. I love this smell.
I just finished taking out my spring and summer aftershaves and storing my winter and fall aftershaves. I mixed up a fresh batch of Bootlegger's El Dorado also, to refill it's bottle and store and let it age until fall.
Gene Autry would of used El Dorado.
I splashed on some Clubman Vanilla a few minutes ago, and as I put the bottle away I saw the Aqua Velva Musk and thought they might be good together. Splashed on a bit and the blend is fantastic! No measurements or anything, just a quick pour of each. The Manilla Velva.
What would we call a Vanilla Lilac Vegetal blend? The Vagilla?

I hope not. That reminds me of ... *something else* ...
ahem. I mixed Osage Rub and Lilac Vegetal to make Frozen Veg.
not claiming it was a good thing, however.

I sometimes mix a splash Pinaud Clubman and a small amount of Dove post shave balm.. It smells exactly like clubman, but doesn't leave your face feeling as tight/dry. Awesome for the winter. I guess you'd call it ClubDove?
While we're at it, I do the same thing with Barbasol's pacific rush.. I call it smooth sailing.

A kick in the cuts:
100ml Captain Morgan Spiced Rum (Or Kraken Spiced Rum - Especially Kraken Black if you want some ladies)
100ml Johnnie Walker Blue
50ml Vodka, if you're feeling fancy use Vodquila if you can get it.
30ml Sake - Gekkeikan is my recommendation, as it gives the aftershave a syrup consistency.
10g of Cloves
3-5 Bay Leaves
2 Cinnamon sticks
A single sliced up Aloe-vera leaf (Only if you like, not required)
Half a teaspoon of Glycerine
Blend everything, then add the cinnamon ticks into an airtight container and let it sit in a cool dark place for 5-14 days, depending how scented you like it.
And then strain through a whisk, then pass through 2-3 coffee filters, one at a time.

This is not a thread for homemade aftershave, there are other threads for that. This is for blends of other aftershaves.
Apologies.
I did try mixing Brut with a bit of Vetiver EO. Tip one, it takes very little of the EO to make an impact. Once balanced, it's a better basenote for Brut than before.
Just mixed up a small batch (around 2oz) of orange spice (1 part Florida water 2 parts old spice). Smells delicious! Going to give it a test run soon. Thanks for all the recipes on here, hopefully I can come up with something and share eventually
