long story short, what's the best way to dilute a Eau de toilette or cologne?
The long story. I recently discovered the miracle that is an alum block as deodorant. It completely eliminates odor, lasts forever, and costs practically nothing. The only downside is that sometimes I'd like a little bit of a scent like a regular deodorant. I recently ordered a few sample sizes of the Stirling Eau de Toilettes thinking I could spray a small amount under each arm after I apply the album block. This proved to be a too strong for my liking so I'd like to dilute them. What should I use to do that? I've heard alcohol or even witch hazel. Anyone have any experience diluting an EDT or Cologne?
On a related note, does anyone know how long the scents in the Stirling witch hazel and aloe splashes tend to last? Considering using those for the same purpose since they come in a wider variety of scents.
