A relative works in the perfume industry, meaning that for Christmas/birthday, I often get a nice perfume that she could buy with her employee discount.

An issue, is that as a person who has facial hair, I shave regularly, and most after shave balm/lotion are scented. They don’t even smell that good, but mixing a nice perfume with an after-shave seems like a major faux pas as the smell will interact with each others, meaning that I don’t use my perfume as much as I wanted

    That’s a fair point. Yes, nice skin care products can be a bit pricey. I only mentioned the Tatcha because it’s on my bathroom counter and I gave it a sniff to make sure I was remembering correctly. I don’t sell skin care products. I do math for a living.

    My point was that splashing on Old Spice isn’t the best for your skin, even if you were to locate an unscented version. Someone in the business - whether at the counter in some fancy shop or a beauty advice vlogger - would be where I’d go if I wanted to get away from scented and possibly less than helpful products.

    But just between us, the Tatcha product line is awesome. My partner got me hooked and I am a fresh faced math nerd as a result.
