Grooming Dept

This morning I shaved with Mallard Amore, a limited exclusive for WCS released on Valentine's Day 2021. It is still a wonderful soap, but Mohammad has made improvements to the formula over the past couple of years. I am eagerly awaiting the next Mallard 2023 release.

Hi RayClem 

I plan to reintroduce Amore, and I'm delighted that you still find it enjoyable! It's a distinctive blend of tobacco a notes.

Mallard Amore - Raspberry, plum, apple, tobacco, musk, vanilla, woody notes.

I was able to snag Otium some time back from secondary market and I really like the scent on this soap and Nai formula is superb. I find my BB Ti a tad aggressive but with Nai i didn't feel anything on my face. It's a low structure but dense lather machine. Scent is potent and lingers whole day long.

Mo I have been wanting to ask you if you have any plans of making matching edt/edp of the popular scents?

Hi jags009 

Otium is another amazing scent I love that scent, so much!

All my fragrances, excluding those made solely from essential oils, resins, and absolutes, which are featured in the Astute Collection, consist of a blend of 60+ fragrance elements. Regrettably, it would be impractical to revisit and reformulate them exclusively as aftershaves. However, I do intend to gradually reintroduce matching soaps and aftershaves from the back catalog.

Nai was an amazing base.

La Aventurra
Still my #1 reach for...

Love Otium, one of if not my favorite Grooming Dept Soaps

Thank you cornbread Oasisdave I'm always interested in hearing about old scents from everyone. Good or bad.

I've been busy composing a lot of music recently, and I've noticed that the process is quite similar to creating scents. Just like music, scents have the power to stir up various emotions, from happiness to sadness and from excitement to calmness. Some scents come across as bold and striking, while others are soft and soothing.

I think the key to making a successful scent is to experiment, and by now you probably noticed that I love experimenting. It takes me a few tries to get a scent that I'm satisfied with. Some of the scents I create end up being discarded, while others grow on me over time. I can't really say I've made a terrible scent, but I've definitely made some polarizing ones. Some people really love them, while others can't stand them.

I'm still learning about the art of scent composition, but I'm enjoying the process. It's a creative and challenging way for me to express myself. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can come up with in the future.

By the way, I have about 20 scents that I'd like to share with you

One of the upcoming Astute Collection offerings! 100% Essential oils, absolutes, and resins.

The French lavender in this scent is from a recent harvest, and one of its unique characteristics is its gourmand-like qualities.

In that time I have noticed that the skin looks visibly better, recovers faster and is simply healthier. The skin looks stronger and holds out more. Great quality products."
