Alt Innsbruck

I would rather have an atomizer bottle for splashes, be they aftershaves, colognes, or eau de toilettes, rather than a flow restrictor.

Hi Freddy, I have never used an atomizer.

What is the benefit or what do you like most? Thanks!

I like the simple control and the fact that I can spray into my hand or directly on my face/body.

One of the very best..Love putting it on..Wish they had a regulator in the bottle neck..it tends to come flying out..

I used the "thumb over the hole" method and just eased some out. Do agree that a flow restrictor would be great though.

I love Alt Innsbruck as well.  The scent, performance and lasting menthol-cooling sensation make it one of my top five splashes.  The method I use for application, which I find gives me the perfect amount, is index finger over the opening and exactly four drops.  I've tried 3 and it wasn't enough and 5 was just too much scent for me.

I may be in the same boat or similar. I love the menthol, found it very invigorating but I left the house at 6a this morning and am still going strong on the scent department at 3p local.

It has dissipated to a very pleasant level but would like to start closer to that and taper.

Good tip and thanks!

The staying power of both the scent and the menthol are very impressive considering how neither of them are overwhelming upon application. And the scent is so good I'm ecstatic that it sticks around so long.

I believe I may have just overdone it this morning and if I cut back will have it dialed in...

As I was putting on my dress shirt this morning my eyes were actually watering a bit

I definitely pick up more tobacco this afternoon which is great.

Oh yeah, that sounds waaaaaay too intense. Although at the moment I'm still working through a sample I got. The sample bottle is really stingy when I try to squeeze some out. But I will make a note of everyone's comments when I get a full bottle.

And yeah, I'd agree that the scent got better as the day went along. I wasn't completely sold until about mid-morning.

I would definitely say for me a "handful" is too much whereas it works great with other AS, even those I consider on the stronger/longevity side.

MHeys had a good tip thinking drops vs. splash but I really did love the menthol this morning and would like to use enough to duplicate.

We'll see next time.

Kevin, if you like menthol and you like it strong enough to make your eyes literally tear up, try Fine Accoutrements' Snake Bite.  Its basically alcohol and menthol no fragrance - fire and ice man.  

This is their description:

The Original Burn & Quench, Snake Bite after shaving tonic contains no fragrance oils, but five times the menthol of our modern after shave formulation. The resulting tonic “Burns like the devil, freezes like the Rockies, and cures all that ails you.” Apply sparingly, and keep away from women and children.

^This! I love the Fine Snake Bite. I need to get some more of it.

Thanks and good call- I have not used Snake Bite but as soon as my Fine AB is gone thought I would grab a bottle.

Glad to hear that it brings it!
