    Default AS followup to AoS sandalwood cream?

    I just switched to Art of Shaving sandalwood shaving cream, and I love it (more importantly, my wife loves the way it smells). I've been applying my normal eShave tea tree oil aftershave, and the first time I did this after shaving with the AoS, I realized this isn't going to work. The eShave scent is totally different than the AoS scent, and masks it--or even worse, kind of mixes with it.

    So basically I want to find a decent aftershave to use after my AoS shave. I have a few choices I guess. I could go with something odourless. I could buy the AoS sandalwood aftershave (but it's a bit expensive). Or I could perhaps find something that complements the AoS sandalwood scent a bit better than the teatree scent.

    What is your gents' takes on "competing vs. complementary scents" when it comes to shaving creams/soaps and aftershaves?

    I like proraso AS splash with my TOBS Sandalwood cream! Ymmv but I find both to be kind of old man scents (in a good way I swear) and think they compliment well for me. I hope that helps!

    I use the AoS sandlewood balm and my wife as well enjoys it! A tiny amount goes a long way.
