making an edt scented cream???

[usqview]

i think i read some were that you can add your own edt to a non-fragrenced shave cream. has anyone done this to good results? how much edt do you add?

here is what i am thinking- pick up a tub of non-scented cream from mama bear or other place and mix up a few different edt scented creams using my favorite edts.

cheers,

to be honest the creams that i am going for are ones the do exist but are too darn expensive for me right now.

floris- santal
penhaligon's english fern
penhaligon's blenheim bouque

another one that i think would be interested in exploring is a hoyt's scented cream. love hoyt's cologne, great everyday scent.

cheers,

I do this, only I don't use EDT's because they have alcohol. I buy unscented cream in bulk, and add essential oils. I wonder if you could burn off the alcohol in an EDT and then add it, hmm...

As for how much to add, I generally don't like to go over 3%. It gets pretty strong, and if the EO or fragrance oil is an irritant, you can really feel it.
