From the Subtle Art website:

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver light across the landscape below. With powerful wings outstretched, a dragon soared gracefully through the night air, its scales glimmering like gemstones. The cool breeze ruffled its iridescent wings as it glided effortlessly between clouds, the stars twinkling in the vast expanse.

Nighttime fragrances possess an enchanting quality, much like a dragon soaring high in the night sky. These fragrances distinguish them from their daytime counterparts, often leaning towards richer, deeper notes that evoke mystery and allure. Ingredients such as sandalwood, spices, herbals and vanilla create a captivating olfactory profile ideal for evening wear.

Scent Notes: Sandalwood, Whiskey, Coriander, Tobacco, Vanilla, Oud, Cedar, Patchouli

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 36

Great shave this morning. Fantastic lather as usual, built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Green Ray" synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Superior 70 Bay Rum splash, a dusting of Clubman talc and "Florida Water".

Hope you have a great day. :)
