Notes.

1. There are several schools of thought regarding fragrance on men's faces. Some men only wear aftershave. Others prefer wearing Eau De Toilette (EDT) on their bodies, and only applying a light aftershave on their faces (or none at all). The difference in strengths outlined above should be seen in that light, rather than as any inherent criticism of their relative strengths.
2. The only decent aftershave splash I've ever used is Mennen Skin Bracer. It may be a splash, but it is nearly as good as a balm. It's a shame that aftershave makers haven't followed Mennen's lead in this, preferring to stick to the tried and tested non-soothing, stinging formulas.
3. The stronger aftershave splashes listed above, are at cologne strength. So they can be used as colognes if one wishes - they tend to last an hour longer than listed when applied under clothing.
4. If you react badly to A/S splash, but you want the stronger fragrance of the A/S splash on your face, or you want to use one that you got as a present, all is not lost. Just apply a fragrance neutral balm like Nivea for Men - Extra Sensitive, wait 10 or 15 minutes, then apply the splash.
5. Some aftershave lotions are sold as more expensive sprays rather than splashes. For example, the 50ml Drakkar Noir spray bottle costs as much as the 100ml splash one. The advantages of sprays are, a. that the fragrance doesn't deteriorate with the opening and closing of the bottle and, b. that you don't waste lots of it from its running through your fingers and getting stuck on hands. You can achieve the same result by either buying an atomiser for your splash or, looking around the house for a pump spray bottle to do the same. I've found that those little pump bottles filled with eyeglass cleaning fluid are ideal - since the spray is a bit more directed.
6. If your A/S splash is too weak for you, and you have the EDT (a common occurrence with gift sets) you can always spray some EDT into the splash bottle to bump it's strength up a bit.
