“Oh my, it's fruitcake weather!” ~A Christmas Memory, Truman Capote

Ahhh Fruitcake how unique and magical you are and perfect for regifting!

Seriously, I once read an article on a fella who gave a fruitcake to a friend one New Years Eve and got the very same one back 8 years later from a new girlfriend! Talk about a bad penny.

But it wasn't always so my friends...or maybe it was and I was just too young to notice? But there was a time when fruitcake was a serious collectible a status symbol, heck some of those classic tins still are if you ask me!

The Keepsake Fruitcake 2018 Line consists of: Artisan Shave Soap in both CK6 Formula and our Standard Formula, 2 Oz Star Jelly, and Aftershave/Cologne.


I am serious. Mothers and grandmothers use to proudly display them on shelves along with Christmas Cards back in the day...simpler times for sure. Am I the only one who remembers these things?

All that said and recollected I thought I'd take a stab at creating my own Keepsake Fruitcake creation for 2018, but more for us gents. Also, before you ask, it does contain chunks of individually scented candied mystery fruits (see photo) and a hint of spiced rum, Atomic Age Bay Rum to be exact! [Note: Mystery fruit is actually shave soap so be not alarmed.]

Scent Profile: Candied Fruit, Butter, Coconut, Maple Sugar, Vanilla, Cake Batter, [Tobacco Absolute in splash] and Spiced Atomic Age Bay Rum. Trust me, it makes for a far better wearable scent than something you would eat sober.

Vanilla Bean Hydrosol

Yup, I did it again folks! Much like Space Nog, I also chose to use my homemade Madagascar Vanilla Bean Hydrosol in place of water. The depth this stuff adds is pure legend!

If you are a fan of our Fall Classic Will-o'- the - Wisp (formerly Clown Fruit), you will really enjoy this similar scent. Not the same at all but it does share some elements...just can't put my finger on it.

I should note, though this does contain Bay Rum it really is just a splash and is a supporting player in what comprises the overall Fruitcake scent we all know and love.

Also, if you are a fan of fruitcake, this will know your socks off!

Not only is this a super festive scent/conversation piece...

"Is that you John that smells like a Fruitcake?"

"Yes Hank, yes it is haw, haw, haw...more whiskey?"

...it also makes a great gift! Keepsake Fruitcake 2018 my friends!

Fun Fruitcake Fact

The Romans mixed pine nuts, barley mash, pomegranate seeds, raisins and honeyed wine and shaped it into a cake they called “satura.” Fittingly, the word satire—a literary device the Romans invented—is derived from the cake: a mix of many ingredients both sour and sweet, according to the New York Times. Mind Blown....
