I was doing some web surfing and found that there is this thing called "Solid Cologne", being a frequent traveler (business mostly unfortunately), I think that maybe a liquid free carry-on would improve travel experience (a lot of one day trips ).
I searched locally for shops that could carry some (I want to smell them before I buy it) and found none.
So I decided to make my own... One part beeswax, one part coconut oil, one part Shea butter and a good helping of Tabac (which I have, is not expensive and I like).
Well my kitchen smelled quite strongly and so did the final product, but next morning the scent was almost gone from the cologne.
The pomade/balm was OK, nice as a moisturizer, beard pomade and even hair pomade (it holds it's shape), but the smell was all but gone.
Has anyone tried to do this before?
Should I use essential oils instead and make my own fragrance?
Do I need a better cologne than Tabac?
Should I just buy Alfred Lane and be done with it?
Any and all comments are welcomed
