I have some empty aftershave bottles that I want to reuse. They are the flask like bottles that Fine Accoutrements used to use and that many other aftershave brands still use. They did, in fact have Fine aftershave in them (American Blend and Santal Absolute). I have pulled the stopper out, rinsed them in hot water, soaked them in heavily saturated oxyclean water, and ran them through the dishwater. They still smell like a full bottle of aftershave...not that it is a bad thing.
I was wondering if any of you fine gents have a tried and true method for taking aftershave odors out of glass bottles? If not, no biggie. I am putting other aftershaves in them (Bootlegger's Bay Rum and other Bootlegger aftershaves, Avon aftershaves, and other blends). So if the scent doesn't come out of the bottle, I will just match scents as best I can and hope for the best. Not that I wouldn't mind a Santal Absolute scented Bootlegger's Bay Rum...hmmmm....that gives me an idea!
