You can also make your own and customize the strength as you like.

The basic ingredients for old-school aftershave or cologne are fragrance oil and grain alcohol. As you can see at the below link, the difference between aftershave, Eau de Toillette and cologne is the percentage of fragrance oil.

I like soaps from popular shaving soap makers with their scent inspired by Green Irish Tweed. Their aftershave doesn't work well for me because they add witch-hazel or something else that does well for many, but makes my face burn.

So, I found someone's scent inspired by Green Irish Tweed on Amazon. Under $20 for four ounces. I also ordered some small colored bottles. I dropped by the liquor store and got some grain. I messed with the amount of scent oil relative to alcohol until I got it just the way I wanted, which is aftershave that lasts for an hour or so and then is gone.

I first ran in to Scentbird on Instagram. I guess they’re advertising a lot everywhere, right now.

Great information in your post, Agon, thanks for sharing it all!
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

No problem. One more decant site I forgot to mention is Scent Split. They offer niche houses only. But they have some stuff you won't find on places like decant shop or notino.

Creed's Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water are yummy.
If you want the real deal in Creed fragrances, you could round up others interested, buy a Flacon and split up the cost.
With a Flacon, the per oz. cost is really sweet.

Or you could find some duplicate/clone/copies/inspired by fragrances. The Scentsational Shoppe is a place that I have and will again purchase from.
