A member asked:
Spraying cologne in cut after shaving accidentally any risk for infection etc.? same as aftershave? ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite low: Realize that most fragrances, including cologne's have an alcohol base, which makes it difficult for many microbes to survive. The same can be said of many aftershaves, at least from an alcohol base perspective. Your more likely though, to create irritation of the cut related to the chemicals rather than cause an infection.
