Cologne to match Indain Shaving Creams

[ulmmlu]

Hi!

First time on Badger and Blade!

I've recently became a fan of Indian shaving cream, Park Avenue, Fa Oceanic, Godrej, Axe,. I love the distinct Indian smell!

I'm interested in finding a cologne that matches Indian creams.

Any suggestions?

I usually pair the citrus (Godrej & Dettol) with Pinaud Citrus Musk. Menthol goes with Aqua Velva. i don't really have anything fixed to use with Godrej Rich Foam, although I've been going with Alt Innsbruck lately.

Thanks, I appreciate your suggestions.

I've been hearing a lot about Alt Innsbruck and I'm going to have to picke up a bottle of it!

Great question! I love adding Godrej to my Proraso to tone it down a bit (and add some of that wonderful barbershop smell).

The best ideas I can come up with are to try Grafton by Truefitt & Hill (and it's brother Mr. Taylor by TOBS). I'm thinking one of these classic barbershop smells would pair nice with the Godrej. Also, if the cologne smells anything like the cream than TOBS Eton College (and Shaving Shop) may pair nicely as well.

Let us know what you find out.

I have never tried Grafton by Truefitt & Hill or Taylor. What's your opinion of them?
