    I have a sensory processing disorder so I can't take anything super scented that lasts a really long time. I already use Lucky Tiger, which I love but I'd love some more suggestions if you have any.

    The Shea Butter aftershave sold at most stores has all natural essential oils for fragrance. It is a nice, light grapefruit scent that does not linger. And usually reasonable at <$8 for a 4 oz bottle.

    Sorry, Otto. I neglected to say, I'm in the U.K. It would need to be an internationally available scent. That does sound really nice.

    IMHO it's hard to beat Lucky Tiger. That being said I also really like Edwin Jagger Limes and Pomegranate AS lotion.

    I think I've found one at Boots the Chemist; thanks @Jorvaljr :) Bull Dog original AS balm - wait for it. £5.40! Full of lemons, limes and other good stuff. Edwin Jagger Limes - mmm. I could end up with more than one.

    Check with you Essential Oil supplier. Lime oil is potent and might be added to other products to your desired sensitivity level. It's a fast fading scent so reapplication through out the day might be needed to maintain.

    Since it is already orangey, I added lime EO to Lucky Tiger lotion and it's grrrrreat!

    For what it's worth try Royall Mandarin, Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime and Ogallala Bay Rum Limes and Peppercorns. There is a lot of product out there but these three are in my arsenal. Good hunting!

    Now that I'm actively looking, there are lots of products available and tons of lime shaving soaps. I'm struggling to choose, to be honest. I'd really like some Pinaut Clubman Lime Sec but I've read that the scent is really strong. I won't be able to cope with it if that is true.

    Using perfumers alcohol or witch hazel you might thin it down. Pinaud products are heavily scented in my experience.

    I use Pinaud Clubman Lime Sec as a splash on cologne in combination with Lucky Tiger aftershave. It works for me. I don't find that the Lime Sec smell is strong, but it does last all day.
