Petrichor is a seasonal scent
- This artisan shave soap has a matching aftershave
- Excelsior formula for amazing lather
- Scented with an earthy aroma - like the earth after a spring rain storm
This is Barrister and Mann's Excelsior soap base. This is a company that never rests on its laurels (although they can claim more than most). They have continued to innovate and improve. This tallow-base is a significant upgrade from the Glissant base, says Will. It hits the best of all the bases. It lathers similar to Reserve, lasts longer than Glissant and is less finicky about water. This base DOES contain lanolin, so those with sensitivities should be aware.
Description from the Vendor
Everyone knows that smell of damp soil after rain. Properly known as "petrichor," it's actually the smell of the chemical geosmin, which is produced by spores in the ground. Here at Barrister and Mann, we really love that smell, so we decided to make a shaving soap and aftershave version! Our Petrichor soap and aftershave smell like walking through the forest after a brief Spring storm. Rainboots recommended.
Note: Unfortunately, because we're not wizards (yet), we cannot make Petrichor smell like whatever it would smell like around your house. We're kind of limited to making it smell like New England. Please don't be mad at us.
