Product Information

There are so many options out there when it comes to aftershaves all with a unique and distinct fragrance, so shopping around is definitely a must. A shopper wrote: 'I bought this as a treat for myself, it’s my favourite perfume the smell is gorgeous and summery, only a little spray is needed.' The woody notes of almond and tonka bean complement the sweetness of vanilla to create a warm, full-bodied fragrance. We’ve mentioned the classic bump-fighting combo of tea tree oil and witch hazel before, but add lactic and salicylic acids to help exfoliate and even out a complexion shadowed by skin issues of the past, and you have a winning combo against ingrown hairs. Oat kernel is meant to protect against further irritation while shea butter and jojoba oil keep skin moisturized. The purpose of aftershave is to re-hydrate the skin post-shaving. Shaving can dry out the skin and cause it to feel itchy and irritated, so the proper aftershave can really help soothe the skin.

Combining citrus and woody notes, it's an elegantly sophisticated scent that's perfect as an everyday fragrance. After all, in the words of designer Tom Ford: 'Good manners and good cologne is what transforms the man into a gentleman.' That's why we've rounded up the best aftershave for men. Floris is steeped in history. Opened in 1730 by Juan Famenias Floris on Jermyn Street, it is still run by the family today in the same shop.

They’re more liquid in consistency than lotions and balms, and often contain astringent, disinfecting properties thanks to ingredients like witch hazel. Though they’re fresh and lightly scented, splashes are typically formulated with alcohol (which can irritate the skin and tighten up the pores), so be wary of using such products if you have dry, sensitive skin. Splashes are best used for those with oily skin, as they’re less likely to contribute to the grease (which lotions and balms may do) and instead tone the skin. Ultimately, if you’re a fan of that tingling sensation, a splash is for you. This offering from Prada is a little less musky and a little more spicy than some of the others on this list.

Aftershaves are the holy grail of soothing inflammation, calming razor bumps and nourishing the skin after a shave. But the process of shaving can still pose some side effects if not done meticulously—you are dragging a sharp blade across your skin, after all. Aside from avoiding dry shaving (that is, shaving without the use of water, creams or lotions), the best way to prevent a razor burn is to nail down two things: your pre-shave process and a high-quality razor. Here’s how to prep your skin before a shave to prevent razor burn: Most men are reluctant when it comes to caring for their skin. Skincare products should not only be for women but also for men. One key product that men should have is men’s aftershave. With the right balm, shaving can become a more pleasant experience.

The miniature set includes 12ml bottles of Colonia, Colonia Ezzenza and Futura, which are all inspired by the fresh, revitalising nature of the Italian sun. Clean your skin: The first step to a good shave that doesn’t involve razor burn is making sure you’re shaving clean skin. Whether you have a beard or stubble, use a mild cleanser to get rid of dirt, oil and grime sitting on your skin.

Known as 'the first prestige men's fragrance to be sold in department stores,' it's still going strong all these years later, whether worn by men who remember it from the first time around or those who are only just discovering it now.

Some fragrances can last the whole day while some can wear off in less than a day. It greatly depends on the kind of cologne that you choose as well as its strength. Why wear aftershave? Men's perfume began to transform into its current iteration in the late 18th century when grooming at home became more common, and men needed to soothe post-shave skin.
