Alpa 378 After Shave – Classic Floral, Citrus and Moss Fragrance
Traditional Czech aftershave with floral-citrus freshness and a distinctive mossy accord. Glycerin, allantoin and menthol complement the alcohol-based formula, leaving freshly shaved skin feeling refreshed and pleasantly supple. Its woody, mossy fragrance recalls classic men’s grooming from the 1930s through to the 1970s. Presented in a compact 50 ml glass bottle.
Alpa 378 After Shave is one of the traditional shaving lotions produced by the Czech company Alpa. Its presentation is as straightforward as its name: a small angular glass bottle, a nostalgic label and a classic alcohol-based formula intended for use after wet shaving.
The aftershave refreshes the skin and helps remove any remaining shaving soap or lather. Moisture-binding glycerin and skin-conditioning allantoin help counteract a dry skin feel, while menthol provides a lightly cooling and invigorating finish.
The Effect
With an alcohol content of 62%, Alpa 378 delivers the immediate invigorating sensation associated with a traditional aftershave splash. It may sting briefly on particularly closely shaved or sensitive areas. After a few moments, the skin is left feeling clean, refreshed and pleasantly groomed.
- Refreshes the skin after wet shaving
- Contains glycerin for a supple skin feel
- Contains allantoin to condition stressed skin
- Menthol provides light, invigorating freshness
- Compact 50 ml glass bottle, also convenient for travel
Older product descriptions mention Cetylpyridinium Chloride, also known under the trade name Septonex. This substance is no longer included in the product’s current ingredient declaration, so the former product claim is not used here.
The Fragrance
Alpa describes 378 as a floral-citrus fragrance with a mossy undertone. On the skin, it develops into a classically masculine composition with fresh, spicy, woody and gently powdery-sweet facets.
Fragrance enthusiasts may be reminded of familiar German moss-based aftershaves from the late 1960s and 1970s. Alpa 378 has a somewhat softer, more floral and slightly sweeter character. This comparison describes only the perceived fragrance style; Alpa 378 remains an independent Alpa composition.
- Opening: Floral and citrus freshness
- Character: Spicy, woody and traditionally masculine
- Base: Mossy, gently powdery and sweet nuances
The Compact Glass Bottle
The small, thick-walled glass bottle takes up very little room in the bathroom or a travel bag. Its angular shape, understated label and black screw cap reinforce the product’s nostalgic character. The narrow opening also allows economical dispensing.
Directions
After shaving, rinse the face thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. Pour a small amount of Alpa 378 into the palms and apply evenly to the freshly shaved skin of the face and neck. Avoid the eye area, mucous membranes and damaged or severely irritated skin.
Those with dry or particularly sensitive skin may follow with a neutral aftershave balm. A patch test on a small area is recommended before the first extensive application if the skin is sensitive.
Complementary Recommendations
For a similar barbershop feeling with a more modern and distinctive choice of fragrances, explore the Don Draper After Shaves. The green aromatic character of Don Draper After Shave Green pairs particularly well with traditional moss and herbal fragrances, while Blue and Gold provide further distinctive options.
Complete the nostalgic barbershop routine with Sweet Georgia Brown Hair Tonic. Its warm, powdery fragrance and conditioning formula complement the vintage character of Alpa 378 particularly well. Within the Alpa range, Alpa Fougére Eau de Cologne offers a more generous and distinctly herbal-mossy fragrance alternative.

Schwerer Duft mit Charakter
In der Flasche riecht es etwas altmodisch und erinnert mich an den schweren Duft in Wasserpfeifenläden. Beim verreiben im Gesicht fällt auf, dass es nicht so gut "gleitet", wie die meisten anderen After Shaves. Der Geruch im Gesicht ist sehr angenehm, etwas schwerer und kräftig. Eine tolle Sache für Leute, die einen Duft mit viel Charakter suchen, den man nicht mal eben im Laden um die Ecke bekommt. Vor allem bei dem Preis eine klare Kauf- bzw. Probierempfehlung.

Feines oldstyle Aftershave
Eine etwas altmodische, aber feine Ergänzung zu meinen beiden Favoriten unter den After Shaves, dem Alpa Windsor und dem Dapper Dan After Shave Blue: Ein angenehmer, aromatisch-würziger Duft, voluminöser und länger anhaltend als das feinherb-wacholdrige Windsor aus dem gleichen Haus. Nicht ganz mit der erfrischenden Wirkung der beiden oben angeführten After Shaves, dennoch eine klare Empfehlung an Männer, die wie ich das Zeitlose eines Klassikers schätzen.
