Title: Androgyne Sents
Post by: Joann on August 13, 2012, 05:12:36 PM
Wondering what would be a good Androgyne replacement for my after shaves.
I'm mixing mint, wintergreen, rosemary and a tiny bit of cinnamon oils to my body lotion and its ok but someone said
" You smell like a candy cane. I want to lick you"
I didn't want him to lick me. I used this years ago. doesnt smell either masculine or feminin

Don't really use aftershave but I brought up this topic a couple of months ago, and I mentioned if anyone found a nice mix of perfumes for androgyn personality.  Here is the link (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,108606.msg816755.html#msg816755).

Back when I still had to shave my face on a regular basis I came to the conclusion that aftershaves were not a good plan for anyone wanting to have youngish looking skin as it all has alcohol or other drying agents that are clearly destructive to nice skin. It always leaves one dry and in the winter months promotes red, chapped skin. I switched to Clinique moisturizer several years ago, it's the way to go for nice youthful looking  facial skin.

As far as scents go, I present androgyne and avoid scents altogether other than femme antiperspirants and any hair treatments. I leave the scents up to the really feminine girls, it's their domain and since I'm living on their perimeter, it's best to leave that to the women among us.

I shave with either a lemon or a rose scented shaving soap. I also wash with spicy-cinnamon soap and lemony hair stuff. I suppose I go for fresh. Jean-Paul Gautier has a lovely male scent which has a very feminine element, it is lovely.

i've added rosemary and lemon oil to my peppermint castile soap. Smells fresh and unique without smelling like a candy cane.
