I’m pretty excited about this Collection.

Just got these amazing items.

They are literally amazing.

The soap smells like citrus and cinnamon, which I cant find in the ingredients list.

I love the smells.

What made me really surprised is the skin food splash.

It seems to have been modelled on Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza perfume, which is my favourite one.

It smells just the same as the perfume. I will try those tomorrow and will see how it will go Smile

I guess it will be awesome.

Sign me up! I love tobacco scents, and as a fan of cigars I love the way they smell. I can’t wait for this, and I might as well just have my paychecks start being made out to you Frank.

Haha! I know the feeling I just spent a lot of money on all kinds of ingredients to make these 3 scents and some came in from India and Italy and I’m smelling them and saying I need to make them for myself to as I love tobacco based scents. 

Can’t wait to announce one in particular because there notes you’d never think would go with tobacco but they smell amazing and I’m a bit obsessed with them. Lol

SOTD 19th March

Razor: Dorco SG-A2000
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Brush: Handmade
Soap: ETHOS Grooming Essentials DFS Colonia
After-shave: ETHOS Grooming Essentials DFS Colonia


Hi there it is 1:03 am, 20th Sat in Korea.

At last, I just got a chance to shave with DFS ones.

Yesterday I smelled the soap as soon as I got it.

The smell was like cinnamon but now I believe it actually wasn't.
Maybe it was from the nice harmony of the scents.

When I sometimes smell it, it smells like a bar of laundry soap with citrus scents Smile

I really like the scent.

Anyway I opened the lid, took some and started to lather.

All of a sudden, the scent began to change, which was very similar to the perfume I have and really like, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza.

It quickly relieved all the stress I had had from work, family and so on.

I heard Frank was inspired by ADP Colonia in a yellow bottle but this soap is also similar to mine.

So I really loved and enjoyed the scents putting the lather on my shaving area.

As I expected, the performance of the soap is exceptional and sensational. Good protection, slickness, cushion.

And the skin food splash, when I first smelled it before use, it was like my perfume but when I used it on my face, it was very different.

I can't describe how it smelled in detail due to the lack of vocabulary but thought that it has a very high level and grade of scent.

I felt like I was eating some luxurious, delicious citrus fruits at a fancy restaurant.

With very relieving, calming and sweet but a bit woody scent, I could spend today without stress and work efficiently and joyfully.

Scents can heal broken hearts.

Thank you Frank for giving me such an amazing experience Smile

Hi Brian 

Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you like the Colonia scent. It’s been a lot of fun developing it for @Andrew18 and DFS. I’m also glad you like the performance of the products and I’m glad it gave you a relaxing shave as I know you work hard.  

As I’m writing this I’m actually working on the EDP off the Colonia scent so there should be one available next week on the website. 

Take care my friend and Great Shaves! 

Frank

Well a lot of you asked for it so I made a tester  today and Monica my graphic designer decided to mock up the front label. I’m trying to make up my mind if I like the one with the rounded corners or the sharp corners better.  

What’s your take guy?
