    Does anyone else mix their aftershaves, especially splashes? (When I say mix what I really mean is layer different scents.) For example Captain's Choice lime and bay rum mix very well.

    I don't. Don't see any reason or need to.
    But that's me.

    I try to coordinate my scents. I have found several combos i enjoy. None last very long, i can understand no making an issue about it. But i do tend to match similar items or combos i like.
    Sandalwood/ rose
    Lime/coconut
    Lime/Florida water
    Orange/Florida water
    Aqua scents/mints
    Citrusy themes including lemon/lime/orange/grapefruits all mix nicely.

    Like i said, i may be the only one enjoying the smells, because they dont last very long. But I'm good with that.
    Their mine, I'll enjoy them my way.

    The only thing that goes into my aftershave is M-Bomb.
    I do cross scent soap/aftershave.

    Rethinking this, I guess I do layer my scents.

    My shampoo has a different scent than my
    Bath soap that has a different scent than my
    Shave soap that has a different scent than my
    Aftershave that has a different scent than my
    Cologne that has a different scent than my
    Pit stick.

    And my wife always tells me I smell good :angelic013:

    RyX DoH!

    I have "layered" only one combo - Osage Rub followed by Murray & Lanman Florida Water. It works!

    I have not tried mixing aftershaves, but I have mixed soaps of different scents with much success. Stirling orange chill with Stirling glacial lemon chill worked quite well for me.

    I have a mixture of three I use since individually either they are either too week or too strong:

    Approx...
    40% Shea Butter AS
    40% Imperial Barber (with some added essential oils)
    20% Pinaud Clubman

    It has a nice citrussy smell that does not quite linger as long as Clubman does on its own.
