Why are unscented after-shave so uncommon, most of after-shave I can find at a reasonable price have that typical cheap cologne smell which is going to wreck any perfume you wear.
But when looking in most shop, most of them still have some fragance in-it and often, so looks like that people shaving their face buy-it

I imagine it’s about trying to minimize the alcohol smell.
But I don’t realy know.[off topic?]
I’ve used witch hazel for years. Mild scent and not as astringent as rubbing alcohol.
Mho, Likely because decades of marketing studies show it sells better.
The scent is largely to cover the alcohol smell. Buy nicer aftershave if you don’t like cheap stuff. Even the ‘good’ (expensive) aftershaves have imitation scents available for much less, many of which are great copies.
Tax reasons perhaps? In some countries ethanol with (certain kinds of) perfume mix can be taxed as denatured alcohol, otherwise some other kind of denaturant would be needed
I have used cold water, followed by an alum block, then cold water again after I let the alum sit on my skin. Then I just apply unscented noncomedogenuc lotion. I usually use Neutrogena ultra gentle daily facial moisturizer.
