#1 I would like to make aftershave - the splash to use after shaving. What ingredients will be beneficial for skin? I will dillute it with grain spirit and would like to make it unharmfull even if swallowed accidently small amounts, so probably only ac that can be used as flavouring agents. The scent should be faint, not overpowering. Safety first #2 I have made some splashes, sprays, and oils for facial use but be sure to do your research.

I suppose I'm just seeking reassurance and a friendly nudge from the veterans here Thanks, in advance, for any and all advice! #2 #3 No. They're all completely different.

Some months ago wear-count statistic on SOTD page stopped for Vent Vert but it continues on wardrobe pageI checked links from both pages but the url seems the same one

I discovered this bug. Often I forget to log my SOTD. So for example today I know I need to log my SOTD for yesterday and also the one for this morning. I open the two fragrances in two individual tabs. I then click SOTD on the first one, and once that's done I move to the second tab to click SOTD on the next fragrance I want to log.
