I am putting together an order from TSD, and am wondering about scent conflicts if I start to layer post-shave treatments. Does the scent from witch hazel last? If I plan to apply a scented AS splash or milk after the witch hazel, am I safer to just go with unscented WH?
Unscented WH, true. I use Dickenson's. No issues putting an AS such as Brut or Clubman, or a spritz of cologne on top of it. However, I've found that I can still detect the faint scent of roses 6-7 hours after applying Thayer's Rose Petal WH with Aloe Vera. If I'm using the Thayer's, I don't follow up with anything else.
I first apply a small amount of Proraso Dioibarba Aftershave Lotion (Liquid), followed by a liberal amount of Lilac Vegetal (mixed 1 part water to 2 parts Veg), and top it off with just a few drops of patchouli oil. Smells great to me, with no weird objectionable conflicts. I say layer away!
