Which AS when you can't smell?

So I've caught a cold recently and as I shaved the other morning I considered my options for aftershave. Then it hit me, I can't smell a thing with this stuffed nose! So what's it going to be? It was a test of performance vs. scent...I went with Speick. The scent fades so quickly anyhow :)

What about you? Which aftershaves would you use if scent didn't play into the decision—based on performance only?
 
It would be a tie between Masters Bay Rum and AV Ice Blue. Both have glycerin for performance, it would just depend on if I wanted the menthol cooling that particular morning or not.

Yes, I was gonna say that anything with menthol can be felt even if not smelt.
 
If I'm lucky enough to have this happen soon, I will use Proraso splash for the duration, since it's one of the most soothing best healing aftershaves I've ever used but I can't tolerate the smell.
 
Mine would be pinaud bay rum. I love the smell but the cooling, tingle, burn sensation just makes my shave seem oh so worthy.

Osage rub would be my pick or plain witch hazel
