Aftershave Description:
SEASONAL RELEASE
Blue Samhain is a whimsical Fall blend of Sandalwood, Burnt Sugar, Bourbon and Pumpkin matured in an Oakwood Barrel...well kind of.
I took a tip from my Master Brewer friend Aaron and added some Toasted American Oakwood Cubes to the aftershave as it matured over the weeks and man what an aromatic splash did happen! Traditionally Bourbon is fermented in Oak Barrel casks and over the years brewers have found more economical ways to create that same effect by using toasted oakwood chips or cubes. Since traditional perfuming and brewing have some similarities Aaron thought he'd share this idea with me...brilliant!
I originally "matured" or steeped the oak in alcohol to see if there really was something to his theory and after a week I was a believer! A sweet, chocolate, vanilla, woody, tonka, almost grape type swirl of scent escaped the jar as I opened it. Essential oils, Hedione and fragrances were then added to this rich, colorful woody base to mature longer. Lastly the skin food was added; Carrot Seed Hydrosol, Glycerin, Aloe Vera and Alum. Needless to say I am very proud of this Aftershave/Cologne and am eternally grateful to my buddy for his advice, Big Props To Brewmaster Aaron!
Blue Samhain is a rich blend of Fall magic, and when you read Pumpkin, don't think Pumpkin Spice, for it's not. Just a pure fresh October carved Jack-o-Lantern note blended with moody sandalwood, burnt sugar and bourbon; Festive, sophisticated and refreshing!
Soap Description:
Unlike the Blue Samhain Aftershave/Cologne, our matching soap doesn't contain any Oakwood Cubes...that would just be odd. It does however, in it's place, contain Oakwood Absolute to provide the same aged oak barrel effect...and what an effect it is! That and in our killer Crown King formula taboot!
Our CK high butter formula is loaded with high quality ingredients giving you the closest shave and leaving your post shave skin feeling smooth and soft. Aside from the Kokum, Shea and Cocoa butters you will also find avocado oil...the ultimate cocktail of skin food! AND though it may seem as such, there is ZERO Tallow or Lanolin in this formula!
As for the artwork, this was inspired by a couple careless glasses of Doc Herson's Green Absinthe and a couple sugar cubes! 'Tis the season, no? As usual, there is some clues and "easter eggs" to be found in the label...so have fun digging and researching the story being told for you seekers!
