What IF????

Hello,
I was wondering what happens if i put some eucalyptus oil in alcolado glacier menthol cologne? I know its not a very good idea to mix stuff like this, but i don't think it would be harmful. I like the proraso smell and i was thinking if i add some eucalyptus oil, it can be extra extra refreshing.

Would be a lot easier to buy some menthol crystals from the chemist and just pop them in
Less chance of irritation as well

Thats a good idea as well but, alcolado glacier has a strong menthol smell, but got no eucalyptus. i want that menthol and eucalyptus combination.

Don't forget camphor then.

How about a small 'special reserve blend' experiment rather than risk the lot as I suspect you'd have to put a fair bit of essential eucalyptus oil in there to cut through the menthol (but I'm very prepared to be wrong). Too much oil and it might be a bit irritating on your skin.

You probably already know judging from your original post, but the proraso green pre/post has plenty of eucalyptus smell in there, much more than the shaving cream.

Ok gents, i tried in a small bottle and the result is not as good as i expected LOL, as a matter of fact not nice at all.
