This soap pays tribute to the Boston Tea Party - fantastic tea note. It is nit a sweet tea - like one of my favs - Russian Tea - it is more tart - but not bitter because the other notes round it out. Scent Notes: Black Tea, Bergamot, Cedar, Jasmine, and Patchouli it does give you an image of black tea in wooden crates.
The aftershave pairs very well with the soap with the cedar and sandalwood notes - the grapefruit adds a slight sweetness and of course - the almost requisite boozy notes! - Scent: grapefruit, bourbon, leather, vanilla, amber, tobacco leaf, cedar, and sandalwood.
The frag is perfect for this time of year - with it‘s rich cacao note and a slight hint of warming coffee. It has fruity (citrus & pineapple) notes with ginger to make this a balanced fragrance. I particularly like the unique maninka fruit in it.
since all my holiday shopping is done, we’ll play it by ear today. Most likely will do a STEAM project and go for a stroll along the riverwalk.
have a fantastic Saturday!

First of all...that brush is BOSS! And man, that soap sounds amazing! I have been looking at Heritage Hill for a bit now and wondering of it is worth the get.
Thanks my friend. Heritage Hill is a great deal - great scents that are interesting but geared To be mainstream crowd pleasers - plus they sell 3 oz tubs - still with the cool labels
Thank you Chris! You have a wonderful day as well!
It sounds so insignificant when worded that way, but it tends to align with my thinking. I do love aPlus I always wanted to know who would spend $80 on or what amounts to an espresso shot - I have to support those entrepreneurs
It better be one great cup!

I know I just posted pictures of the Riverwalk - but there is something magical about it being lit up at night
our town has 4 churches that each have spires that have inspired several paintings- this is an outline of those spires

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
The soap is an homage to Killian Straight to Heaven. Notes are: Top Notes Dried fruits, Rum Heart Notes Patchouli, Nutmeg, Jasmine Base notes Vanilla, Cedarwood, White musk, Amber, Rosewood. From the puck itself - the scent is on the lighter side, which is unusual for a 345 soap - plus with the notes you think it would be almost in your face. I’m wondering if that has to do with Killian itself- I’ve never have smelled the originals but I have several soaps that are homages to the brand - each from a different artisan- and all are on the lighter side. It does open up a bit once you lather.
The aftershave was aged in oak barrels - scent is blend of cognac and sweet tobacco scents and this is definitely bold.
The cologne took me by surprise- I really do like it, but it shares nothing in common with it’s EdT predecessor with the same name. The EdT is Eau Sauvage-esque, and Eau Sauvage‘s parfum flanker,while going in a deeper direction than the EdT, it is still an old school scent. Not the same for Moustache- the EdP is modern, I would say it is in the same family as MM Replica By the Fireplace or Armani Stronger with You Intense. Very warming.
Aidan has a half day (though my other kids do not - go figure) - and a standard, follow up appointment for him for his epilepsy.
I hope everyone has a fantastic start of the week!
