Another piece of advice: you can use first very little of an aftershave balm or cream (unscented and without alcohol) to heal/treat the skin, and - when the balm has penetrated into the skin - add a scented aftershave (based on cologne for instance, i.e. containing alcohol) to smell good (you can do that also with little fragrance, as it was done before the invention of the spray if you don't want to buy the scented aftershave AND the fragrance). I usually do that as I have a very sensitive skin: nourish first, the scent after.

Maybe it will help.
