Introduction

Aftershave is a liquid used mostly by males after shaving. Even though most people think of aftershave as a cologne for deodorising purposes, it's true purpose should be as an antiseptic agent after cutting yourself shaving. The biological compounds which make the scent are mixed with water and alcohol to make the liquid. The alcohol is the substance which will close pores, avoid infections, and prevent irritation after shaving.

Above, will find a small selection of the top retailers online to find a bargain. The reason why some retailers can offer such low prices is that they sell testers and grey imports from the far east and other markets. But, many retailers can offer you big savings on aftershave, simply because they are sourced directly from the manufacturer. The overheads saved by e-tailing are huge, and postage costs are tiny for fragrances.

Testers and Grey Imports, a warning

Admittedly, our list will include retailers which will only sell imports and unused shop counter testers. There is usually a drawback with anything which is cheap. The most popular time of the year for sales of aftershave is Christmas. Therefore, most of the aftershave bought will be purchased as a gift. Of course, few people will want to give a tester as a gift. Mainly because it will either come with an opened box or without a box.

Therefore, if you're still after a bargain you will need to purchase a grey import. What drawback is there with an import? Even though many fragrance sites do a great job of stocking cheap aftershaves, there is no guarantee where the items have come from. The next problem is that aftershave bottles rarely come with a manufactured date. Therefore, you will not know how old the fragrance is, or the conditions in which it has been stored.

Finally it will be up to your discretion whether you want to take the risk of saving money on aftershave sourced from shady locations. Well known retailers, like Boots, source their fragrances directly from the manufacturer. You may pay more but you have a guarantee of quality. If you're trying to impress a loved one with a gift, then you could be taking a risk with a product that could be past it's sell by date. You will have to decide whether for a few pounds it's worth taking the risk.

Tips

- Make sure if you're buying an import you won't be charged customs duties.

- Look for no delivery charge, the postage charge is tiny for aftershave so you should expect it free.

- If your buying in a store always apply the spray to your skin. It will smell different to a strip of paper with the scent applied. It will take around five minutes for the base note to come into effect. This is the scent which will last the longest, so it's worth waiting a few minutes before making a decision. How the scent smells will depends on a person's skin type.

- The more moisture in the skin will help to retain the scent for longer. So for people with dry skin you may want to find ways to increase the moisture. Balms can also help redness after shaving.

- An aftershave should last last between three and six years if it's kept in a cool dry location. But some people have noted that quality perfumes can last up to ten years or longer. Generally speaking, the less concentration and cheaper the aftershave the less likely it will last five years.

- A pure fragrance should have concentration of up to 40%. After this the most powerful type of fragrance is eau de parfum, and then eau de toilette and finally eau de cologne.

- Always store your aftershave in a cool dry spot and out of the range of direct sunlight. It should also never be exposed to oxygen, so keep it in an air tight bottle.

- It's advised to stick to using one fragrance at a time. Otherwise the fragrances can mingle, and your skin, coats and jackets can end up creating a unique nasty scent.

- It's also a good idea to own a different type of aftershave for the seasons of the year or time of the day. Most experts believe a lighter fragrance is ideal for daytime and the spring and summer months. And a heavier scent is ideal for winter and autumn months and during the evening time and romantic moods.
