It's "aftershave lotion". But I must have something terribly wrong elsewhere as I am really stuck:

21a: b?t?n?/s?i? (potential source of slip-up 6,4)
42d: ?a?s/?r?? (deep instrument 4,4)
56A: l???n/?h?e?e (conserve 5,6)

As for 42down, I can't even think what "deep instrument" means! Can anyone please help?

56 lemon cheese?
Is deep instrument bass something? Nothing beginning with R springs to mind, though.

Check the T in 21a - doesn't fit with what I think is the answer!

That was quick....thanks. But how can "lemon cheese" be "conserve"? Is that some kind of slang?

I think on 42d, that second word must be "tray" as when I googled "Deep instrument" I got a lot of things with "tray" but no luck with the first word.

Lemon cheese is another name for lemon curd, which is a "preserve" or "conserve".
