Some of these artisans describe their scents like a cologne with top notes heart notes and a base notes. My whole shaving routine lasts 20 minutes if I do a three pass shave. I don't always do a three pass shave. 'Im thinking the soap is on my face at the most 10 minutes. I don't think this is enough time for a soap to go through a dry down period like a cologne would. Plus there is no alcohol in the lather to dry down. Than in the end it gets all washed off and the scents dissipate and the real fun with scents happens with aftershave or cologne. Somtimes I think some of the simpler scents work better with shave soap.Bases have hit the wall for me.
It’s time for soap makers to hire out some perfumery.
Nice to see shawn maher doing scents for seaforth/spearhead.
It was nice to see will carius collaborating with zingari man.
I miss dan bashford doing scents for noble otter, highland springs, southern witchcrafts, storybook soapworks, etc.
Seems like a pro perfumer could make a killing building scents for the countless soap companies.
