What’s new to you?

Ooh, you finally got the Humphreys! Same vendor as the Lucky Tiger, or are they still looking?
KInda a long story but to Readers Digest it, @Spider ordered 3 bottles from the same company and got the last 3. If I got them I was going to send him 1. When he got the 3 he sent me 1 as a surprise. I excited to get another backup since it's no longer produced but actually more stoked that he got 2 for himself as he has been hunting it for a long time too !!
 
There's been some controversy about the newer Nuavia without the Ceramic container not being as good a quality. Looking forward to your thoughts on scent strength and soap base (y)
I was actually wondering about that. It seems like without the ceramic crock...the price has been reduced significantly.
 
I had no idea they changed containers. Just looked it up assuming you now have the option which would be nice since the ceramic is kind of unwieldy and breakable. Nope, right on their site all they have are the metal jars. End of an era.
 
I got my first boar brush. Semoque 1305

Man that's the Paladin I want @NurseDave , looking forward to seeing it along with your usual snapy banter in upcoming videos. Patch is one of my favorite scents, curious about the Le Labo, it's supposed to be more smokey than patchy, so even you can enjoy it.

Yes, the Le Labo is a nice smokey scent. Nothing like the typical patchouli which I actually can’t really stand. Not sure how it relates in name.
 
@NurseDave Really curious what you think of the 40 Crows and Fullmoon..... I love Fullmoon, I wish it was available in an EdT.

Alrighty, had a moment, so here’s the Christmas haul:
- Star Anise EO
- Pink Pepper EO
- Ginger EO
- Atlas Cedarwood EO
- Clove Bud EO
- Patchouli EO
- Bergamot EO
- Fir Needle EO
- Vetiver EO
- Jojoba carrier Oil
- Pipettes, mini roll on applicators, and mini pump sprayers
- Canvas & leather dopp bag
- AOS Bourbon shaving cream

Need to find a few lighter and a few flowery scents, then I think I’m ready to experiment a little. Open to scent suggestions/pairings.

Nice. I may be looking for a sample kit myself. Keep us informed on your thoughts.
