I prefer an after shave with a somewhat lower alcohol concentration and try to avoid using EDT/EDC/EDP on my face.

Witch hazel does make a lovely diluent. Smile

Will, I already use the unscented Thayers Witch Hazel as toner after the shave, but before the After shave application.
I will try the Thayers Lavender and see how I like the scent.

But I'm probably buying the Caron Pour Un Homme after shave soon, as I just saw a great offer on the 125 ml after shave.

I know it's a lavender, vanilla & musk fragrance, but the lavender is enough in the foreground for me to call it a lavender fragrance.

Have you tried Herbs of Bulgaria Lavender After Shave / Lavender water? One of my favorites.

I hope you get a chance to try it. It's inexpensive and a great scent IMO. I always have a couple bottles on hand

I like Alt Innsbruck as well, but some days I get a grape scent and not lavender Herbs of Bulgaria always has the correct scent by my nose.

Santa Maria Novella Lavender splash is my favorite. Seems low alcohol as it's moisturizing & doesn't irritate my skin. Scent lasts, but blends well with frags imo

Could you list the ingredients? I checked the site but didn't see them there.

It's a re-creation of the famously rare Caldey Island Lavender, which is still in production but so difficult to obtain that it may as well be discontinued. It's actually my personal favorite of all of the finished scents.

Thank you for your response and sharing your inspiration. I will see if I can some reviews (maybe on youtube). Prior to my shave, I was checking out a video review on Invasion Barbare, the fragrance from Stephanie Bokouche. It was neat to hear about the base of Fougére Aromatique before shaving with it. I'm on a lavender appreciation kick as of late.

By the way, any really nice lavender fragrance made oils versus essential? Not looking for any brands, but simply wondering if it may be worth looking into some nice smelling lavandula.
