Low/no scent aftershaves for respiratory issues?

[tthoms]

I've been battling post-nasal drip for the past three weeks, and irritation to lungs and stomach have forced me to be more selective in what I wear. It's inspired me to do a review of aftershaves that someone with asthma or respiratory issues might use.
Currently I'm considering: Witch Hazel, low/no sent mentholated splashes like Sta-Cool and Osage Rub.

Any other suggestions?

Do you have a scent preference if it is light? A lot of things in the "Colonia" scent family like 4711 are short lived.

I think those options would be worth exploring. I'd also like to see about aftershaves/splashes where there is little or no fragrance. I'm open to any suggestions.

I thought B&M had a splash, but it is a balm. What I do is go to Maggards and go to pre/post tab and you can narrow down to aftershaves and then unscented. You do want menthol and you do want alcohol correct?

Ethos is pricy, but it is my top aftershave. You can get unscented, but you may not need to. They have custom scents too, like Rose. You need to order the menthol drops though.

Lucky tiger, weleda, stirling has an unscented wh which you can spike if wanted with some scent

Lea has a proper Sensitive Lotion that is also alcohol free.

Lucky Tiger for the lightness of the scent, 4711 for the “shortlivedness” of the scent, and Nivea Sensitive balm for even less scent.

Lucido aftershave from Japan only has a slight alcohol scent when first applied and zero scent afterward. This used to be readily available at a reasonable price but has gotten harder to find.

Fine Snakebite.

Witch hazel regular has 14% alcohol and that should be all that you need or another alternative is Alum block and apply wet after done shaving for 30-60 seconds and rinse with cold water is what I have been doing for 4 years when used. The reason to rinse is to remove the potassium salt residue from the skin. Alum is used in a lot of products and your drinking water from town would be treated with type of alum to remove suspended solids by congealing them and dropping out to the bottom of the tank to be removed when water treatment plant is making potable water safe for public consumption.
I prefer regular witch hazel because it is gentle to the skin (Dickenson's) and use it to also dilute strong scented aftershaves. Witch hazel has a mild quick pungent scent that dissipates quickly and is healthy for skin issues from my limited research.

Fine snakebite if you can handle being simultaneously burned alive and frozen solid.
It’s crazy stuff but is pretty much scentless and does a great job

That's a neat looking bottle if nothing else!

La Toja has a very light scent that is fairly unnoticeable.

Lucido is OK. But the alcohol smell is pretty strong/obnoxious.

See if you can find Gatsby After Shave Water from the same company. Very light citrus that's gone as soon as it's dry.

 

[Noodles]

Maol Nothing. Which does smell like alcohol…’cause it has some. Works great.

 

[Wvbaldeagle]

PAA sin is awesome. Great face feel. Stirling has an unscented one also. You can’t go wrong with either.

 

[dmshaver]

If you're still looking for options, I suggest Ethos Unscented Skin Food splash.

 

[Dapper Gent]

Witch Hazel. I like Dickinson's the best because it's the purest. They do not dilute with water. Very soothing and the witch hazel aroma goes away rather quickly.
If you have real sensitive skin you could try Thayer's. Water is the first ingredient, witch hazel is the third. Does not smell like witch hazel, really has no aroma.

 

[Boghopper]

speick is very lightly scented and any scent disappears very quickly. It's also great stuff.

Pinaud Eau de Portugal has a very slight dry orange scent that lasts a minute or two. Spectacular splash. Very affordable.
