No scent is definitely best for a job interview. Many workplaces have fragrance free policies these days and besides you don't want to accidentally wear something that reminds her of the ex that cheated on her

Best AS for an interview?

Honestly, for a job interview, I would skip the aftershave entirely. Not necessary, and why take a chance on making any kind of impression on this day other than simply "neutral". This is one occasion where I would definitely skip it.
This thread has inspired me to conduct an experiment with my wife, who smells everything. I hug her everyday before I go to work, about ten minutes after I've applied my aftershave. She never comments on what I'm wearing, except when I wear the Veg. ("Talcum powdered cow patty.") When I wear cologne (EdT) in the evening, she smells it from across the room. I'll start asking her what she smells during our morning hugs.
I can't smell any of my aftershaves, except in fleeting instants, more than an hour after I apply. With a 40-minute commute, I think I'm safe. I'll see what she thinks.
As I said earlier, unless you're greeted with a hug rather than a handshake, I can't imagine any interviewer being able to discern a scent from your aftershave. Aftershave is like bath soap or deodorant--an element of personal hygiene.
Just don't wear the Veg...

Congrats on the job. Good thread. I never thought of this to wear cologne/AS to an interview
