This morning, I shaved with Ketoret, which uses Grooming Dept.'s Kairos SE base. It had been a while since I shaved with one of Mo's products. I was in Italy this summer, and came back with two great creams and another set of SV soap and aftershave. They're been dominating my rotation, and they're really good. But Kairos SE is just on another level as far as how it leaves my skin feeling post-shave. I had forgotten about this, and it was a pleasant surprise. And its performance is at least as good as my others, if not also better: slick and protective without being oily or hard to rinse. Ketoret is an amazing scent, too. What a pleasure. Thank you, Mo. Smile

Totally agree on the quality of Mo’s products. I have tried no less than 20 brands and nothing comes close and many are a big miss.
Very grateful to Mo for making great products and incredible scents! They just keep getting better.

Thank you for the kind words GrizzlyCA

Hi johnnylighton

Good to have you back on board Smile

I agree, Ketoret is amazing! I don't always provide a lot of information about my scents, or hype them up with stories about cities, personal experiences, or how I arrived at a particular scent composition. I believe that my scents need to be experienced, sometimes with an open mind.

Some people may find Ketoret's notes to be unenticing at first. I have heard this from a few people myself. However, after they experienced the scent several times, they went out and bought backups.

BTW, Ketore is 93.2% Essential oils, absolutes, and resins. I hope to one day release Rose Ketoret which is superb too Smile

Ketoret Scent Notes: - Balsam, Galbanum, Spices, Costus, Spikenard, Frankincense, Myrrh, Saffron.

I wish I had bought at least one more! Now Ketoret is sold out everywhere. I hope you release it again one day.

gone to Carolina in my mind
I had a lot of fun with Tobacco Oud tonight - nice lather, and the scent is pleasant and abiding.  Happy2 Happy2   FWIW I enjoy how it pairs with Mancera Red Tobacco.

Hi HighSpeed

 Thanks for sharing your SOTD photo in the GD subform. I love the color harmony!

Tobacco oud has been one of the most popular scents, and a new batch is currently macerating. I plan to rerelease the scent in the upcoming Maxima formula, along with a matching aftershave.

Part of the next release. Today, I'm placing an order for the labels. This is Trésor!

Turkish Otto Absolute is the star of this scent.

Confused on your statement "next release"... has there been an Aion soap release previously?

Hi Nero 

Apologies for the imprecise statement! I meant the next release (from me) will be the first Aioin Skincare soap release.
