Suggest a (light or even fleeting) aftershave to pair with MFK Oud fragrance

[Cigar Guy]

I usually pair my woody fragrances with Captain's Choice Sandalwood aftershave but I have been on an Maison Francis Oud kick

lately and would like something that would pair well with that. Nothing that would overwhelm The MFK since it's kinda light

on it's own.

I generally don't even like the smell of Oud but the MFK just clicked with me. As a matter of fact I have never even

sampled any oud aftershaves.

I'm in the process of placing a WCS order ( Fine Aquamarine is back in stock!!) and I would like to add some other suggestions.

Which MFK are you using? The EdP?

Yes sir. Although I really like the extract too, I haven't pulled the trigger on a full bottle yet.

FWIW, with such a grand cologne, for myself, I wouldn't use a highly scented aftershave.
Perhaps I'd use a woody shave soap or cream, then a light aftershave, a witch hazel, or even just a water rinse.
On me, even with a 'light' cologne, it would last and last.
Especially oud.
Just my personal experience!

This is a togh one.

My first inclination is to use something essentially scentless.
Fine snakebite
Barbedeaux
Le pere lucien nature


I know I’ve sampled mfko before, but I don’t remember exactly how it smells. Based on fragrantica reviews and notes, i still can’t tell.

When I wear a fragrance, I use only Osage Rub for my aftershave. I get my menthol fix, but, the scent only lasts about 15 minutes, so, it won’t clash.

there are many other unscented aftershaves on the market.

Correct. Unless, of course, he WANTS to smell like a fetid combination of MFK and nursing home.

Yeah. I have been using Noble Otter unscented with the MFK but I would like to something with a light oud note.
I am finding out that it just doesn't exist.

This is what I like to use if I don’t want my aftershave scent to linger for very long.

Thank you for the suggestion. Reviews are scarce for this product. Would you mind dropping a few comments on the scent and strength.
