I am seeking a new fragrance/quality in my aftershave lotion/splash. I have tried the traditional ones like Brut, Aqua Velva, Old Spice, and Nivea Men.

I don't want to go overboard but I would be happy to try something a bit more pricy.

I live in the USA.

For aftershave splash I use Calvin Klein Eternity, which is also the cologne I use. This is if I want a nice smell with it.

I generally prefer to use unscented product though. Just normal Cereve after shaving if I think I didn't cut myself, then I can use my choice of cologne afterwards. But my beard isn't as thick as others. If you have a stubborn beard, I think you might need to stick to either the splash or balm. Calvin Klein also has a nice smelling balm, but it is a bit pricier than the ones you listed.

I think you will have to experiment a bit. I don't have just one aftershave or cologne. I have my favourite and then I get a smaller sample to experiment with. Scent is very personal, what you like might be very different to someone else. As well as facial products, what works for me might lead to a breakout for you.
