Simple herbal aftershave

The only fragrance British men were allowed to wear during Queen Victoria’s time was lavender. A contrast with more southern countries where there was much more choice, for example, rose, orange flower and violet. Some British men persist to this day, using only an English lavender water, such as Yardley’s Old English Lavender. Our formula also contains lavandin, a spicy variety of lavender.

Supplies

• 100 ml (80 grams) cosmetic hair water [29550]
• 2 ml (2-3 grams) glycerine [10630]
• 60 drops (2-3 ml/g) essential oil Lavandin Abrialis[20138]
• Bottles with closures for approximately 100 ml of aftershave
• Pipettes, beakers, funnel

Procedure

Mix the raw materials in the order indicated, or vice versa, it doesn’t matter. Put the aftershave in one or more suitable bottles, for example twice the 50 ml aftershave bottle Florindo. Alternatively, you can also fill three quadro bottles with this recipe. The shelf life is usually at least 12 months. The essential oil and glycerine are best dosed with a plastic dropper pipette [30110], do not forget to order these.
