Time to take a look at another Phoenix Shaving Classic, ESP! A perfect scent for the cool, crisp weather!
Scent Profile: White Sage, Palo Santo, Patchouli, English Lavender, Coriander, Ginger, Agarwood, Benzoin, Labdanum, & a Kiss of Oakmoss.
In the world of everyday existence, the five senses reign, but their powers are sharply limited. We perceive the universe in glimpses through narrow portals, acquiring our knowledge by sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. But what if knowledge has wider gateways and thresholds? What if, beyond vision, humans have another way of seeing? ~ Mysteries of the Unknown
Much like Meta Nectar, ESP is also our take on a classic attar or ittar, the world's earliest perfume! Where Meta Nectar is bright and almost fruity, ESP is the polar opposite, Dark, Musky & Warming. Traditionally, this would be the type of attar to wear in the cooler weather but I can see gents wearing this all year round for it is truly intoxicating stuff.

WHAT'S INSIDE?
White Sage: Warm, spicy, yet cutting like menthol. There is a sharp, cooling effect sensation as the aroma travels to your olfactory nerves after.
Palo Santo: Citrusy, green, woodsy and smokey. Notes of pine, mint, and lemon. Fun Fact: The tree is part of the citrus family related to frankincense, copal and myrrh.
Patchouli: A strong, slightly sweet, intoxicating scent. It's described as having a dark, musky-earthy aroma profile, reminiscent of wet soil. In ESP Patchouli is a team player or supportive actor, but never takes the lead. Trust me.
English Lavender: Mellow, sweet and warm. I really enjoy how the lavender seems to tame the patchouli, smoothing out it's rough edges.
Coriander: This is a scent note that will transport you back in time. It would not be outrageous to imagine your self on a spice trader on route back from the mysterious and magical East! Coriander has been described as spicy, woody-resinous, while possessing a clay-like background note.
Ginger: This note is used gingerly to add a little warmth to the blend. Ginger is pungent, citrusy, spicy and refreshing but also at times woody and floral.
Agarwood or Oud: Simply seductive. Resinous, woody and rich in nuances, ranging from sweet to earthy, with some notes of leather and spices.
Benzoin: One of my all time favorite resins to work with, benzoin is rich, intensely sweet, warm, powdery, balsamic, vanilla-like aroma, with a subtle spicy/cinnamon-like undertone.
Labdanum: Another one of my favorite resins to work with, labdanum boosts up the animalic, musky undercurrent with its woody, leathery warmness that hints of pepper, tar, coffee and even tobacco.
Oakmoss: Described as both earthy, and woody, sensual with hints of musk and amber. I also steam distilled Oakmoss Hydrosol for use in the aftershave/cologne for some added depth.
A mesmerizing, masculine and memorable scent, ESP!
