Referencing the original release: not a peppermint fan yet found it a nice scent. Hope that helps

Much appreciated Mohammad. 

I'm really taken aback by Angel. I had the all white tub 3 years ago and couldn't stand it. Haha. I didn't get any of the fruity vibe that this one has to offer, but I'm glad I took another chance because it smells amazing. Looking forward to lathering this one up. 

I've been looking for a good oud scented soap for a while, as well, and this one definitely smells great. 

Verdict is still out on Otium and Boomer, so I'll hold judgment until they've had a good lather session. 

Honestly, I've had a pretty firm belief where I refrain from buying too many soaps from the same artisan, because I feel like I'm just paying full price for a different scent. Lol

Grooming dept. gets the exception though, because it's my favorite line of soaps to use. 
I'm excited to see what the next four will smell like.

Nice shot. Thank you for your business! 

Angel has gotten so much love this time around. It's the most requested aftershave scent. I did dial back the fruity notes!

I still have labels. I'll release it again sometime in December 2021.

I, for one, liked it so much I got a second tub -- and I really almost never do that with artisanal scents. Normally, I'm interested in something new.  But Angel was the exception.  Will be excited when the aftershave comes out.

2021 is the year of Oud and Tobacco scents from GD.  I plan on releasing at least eight of each this coming year.

Coming soon, Tobacco Oud!

Thanks....I saw that one on the FB timeline. 
I will definitely grab a tub.

That's a dope looking label by the way.

As Mo will attest, I have not been the biggest fan of kairos. I felt like it was a serious downgrade in a few categories compared to what it replaced in the Janus base. Well, with this release I can safely say that GD is back in business with this version of kairos. This one stays dense no matter how much water you throw at it.

This one is a trip scent wise. Off the puck, the combination of scents present as black tea to me. When lathering things change a lot. Becomes much more robust and interesting. Much more well rounded with the Tonka and bergamot giving way to a resinous middle with subtle hints of greens and an even more subtle floral note. All in all I’m glad to see the performance return to the every day tallow base in GD’s lineup. [Image: db63a63250d99cd8a3aab14ef2fb1879.jpg]

Good to hear Sean! I got that and Cedarwood which I used yesterday. The Nai base is amazing and I can honestly say this one is even better than Otium.
