Unscented A/S

[uk_HBer]

Hi, I'm after an unscented A/S (splash, not balm), that won't interfere with any fragrances I decide to wear for the day. I love Tabac A/S, but I cannot wear it without it clashing with whatever fragrance I'm using.
I've heard Speick may have a fleeting scent that will not interfere.
Looking forward to your replies.
Cheers.

AOS also has a nice unscented balm

Here ya go.
Or you could use their "Aftershave" witch hazel if you'd prefer a splash with some alcohol in it.

Hi there,
You might look at the 'Lucky Tiger A/S and Face Tonic', most commonly available at Nordstroms. It has a very faint orangy/ citrus fragrance that's gone in 10 seconds. No alcohol burn, and I actually prefer using it with an atomizer for convenience. Very nice, especially for the warmer months. I found the LT liquid shaving cream to be a nice product as well (similar fragrance).
Hope that helps,
Martin

+1 on the Lucky Tiger. It works very well. Its soothing and has zero burn. In the summer I leave it in the fridge and it feels great going on cold. It does have a light orange scent, but like most splashes it fades out fast. It is sold at Nordstroms and I've also seen it at Caswell Massey stores. A little off topic, but the entire LT line (the new brown bottle/gold cap) is good stuff. I got the shave cream, tonic, moisturizer and face wash in the retro tin for like $70.

See if "one of the locals" offers an unscented aftershave. I'm pretty sure you'll find something from Mama Bear, Saint Charles Shave or QED.

SCS Mediterranean Citrus has a very light scent that fades very fast.

Good thinking scoop. I hadn't thought of that, but that is an excellent option.

TGR's unscented ASB is very kind to the skin and it doesn't interfere with other scents. It might be a tad heavy if you live in a very warm climate, tho.

nothing for me to add-the collective has spoken!

+1 on Thayers witch hazel. They're available in alocohol (10&#37 and alcohol-free versions. I have very sensitive skin and had a bad reaction to high-alcohol aftershaves, but my skin absolutely loves Thayers.

I really like the lemon scented Thayers. Available at Whole Foods for around $9 for a very large bottle. The good thing is that the lemon scent masks much of the witch hazel-y scent and makes for a very refreshing splash, but it fades so quickly that it doesn't interfere with colognes.

Yeah, I tried the Thayers lavender today and really liked it.

Now that I'm thinking about it the "locals" I mentioned carry unscented balms but I'm not so sure about splashes. Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

Yeah, I wonder if the ingredients in a splash prevent it from being unscented.

As far as balms go (I know you didn't ask) I'll throw Proraso out there. Extremely light scent that fades almost immediately.

i have played around with making my own aftershaves and they turn out pretty well. witchhazel and aloe vera works great. here is an interesting one that popped up in a search:

vodka, witchhazel and water is pretty common too.

jason has a nice unscented 6 in 1 that works well.

i dont use as splashes very often for the same reason- i like my edts too much.

i stick stick with balms with a scent that fades quickly. pre de provence and trumpers skin food fits the bill for me.

cheers,
ryan

Now I'm curious to mix a bit of my Tanqueray Rangpur with witch hazel and aloe vera gel...
