Chatillon Lux Provisions and Chatillon Lux Parfums

There's some sort of divide in Missouri where that accent stops. I grew up in Franklin county and southern parts were so Hoosier but northern parts sounded normal. I live in Alton now and no one talks like that. Except people who used to live in southern Midwest

I think in part regionalism and hyper-local accents seem to be disappearing more and more as the world becomes more connected and less tribalized. As the world becomes more interconnected, people get exposed to more than just the three local broadcast channels on television and whatever radio stations are broadcast in their areas. It's a shame, because accents are interesting even if not always pleasing to the ear.

i've been wet shaving for years and my wife rarely likes what i use as a splash. the best i've ever gotten is something doesn't smell bad. Enter Chatillon Lux... About a month ago I purchased a number of AS samples. Every time I wear one my wife says that I smell good! I've never gotten that before. I think she's liked every one that I've tried. It looks like I'm going to be placing a large order. Thank you Chatillon Lux!

Thanks a lot, I'm really glad to hear that! There's nothing better than getting the wife's approval. That's when you know it's worth it. So fantastic, that's awesome to hear. Thank you!

No matter what the accent I am not pronouncing Chatillon Lux the way it apparently is supposed to be pronounced. I've always found the various American pronunciations of French words/names to be interesting. A classic is the name Benoit which I would pronounce Ben-Wah. Maybe I'll just call it Shawn's awesome aftershaves

Accents are fascinating.  I tend to pick up a bit of the accent of any area I may stay in for any length of time.  In 1968, I moved from Brooklyn, New York to Toledo, Ohio and started picking up some of the local accent.  People in Toledo used to say I had a Brooklyn or Bostonian accent (the locals could not differentiate between the two) while my family and friends back in Brooklyn said I sounded like a Midwesterner (again, no differences for where in the Midwest).  I found it so amusing that I just used to tell people that my accent was somewhere over Pittsburgh and moving west.

Another story about my now hodgepodge of an accent.  Toledoans tend to flaten the various short a sounds and Brooklynites tend to round them.  My sister's name is Paula.  As I started picking up the Toledo pronunciation of her name, it would drive her crazy and she would try to correct me though, to my ear at the time, I thought we were both pronouncing it the same.  I came up with the idea of simply calling her Sis and so it has been for almost 49 years.  Even our dad started calling her Sis.  Ironically, I have lived in San Diego for more than half my life and, two years ago, my sister and brother-in-law moved to Los Angeles.  I don't even want to think about it.

I love Pennsylvania accents quite a bit. Also, a former professor of mine was from Brooklyn and had a THIIIIIICK accent. Every time she said, "Shawn," it cracked me up. That one vowel somehow packed in like three different sounds in one letter.

I can almost hear her now.  Ah, those were the days.

We are proud to announce the next chapter in the collaborations between L&L Grooming and Chatillon Lux. On Friday, February 17, L&L Grooming’s will release Chatillon Lux’s popular Unconditional Surrender scent in a bison-tallow-based soap.

Due to the postal service pulling a WWF-level bodyslam on the original shipment of the fragrance, destroying a large bottle of fragrance intended for use in the soap, the soap was unfortunately delayed from our projected date. Luckily, now the soap can be released in conjunction with Chatillon Lux’s new branding: all new labels and new bottles for their aftershaves and post-shave toners.

The Unconditional Surrender scent, released this fall by Chatillon Lux, is a warm, woody scent with some floral undertones to provide a rich, rewarding sensory experience inspired by Ulysses S. Grant’s time in St. Louis, where he pulled himself up by the bootstraps to ascend to commander of Abraham Lincoln’s army.

The scent notes of Unconditional Surrender include amber, tonka bean, amyris, cedarwood, agarwood, vetiver, cigar tobacco, black tea, jasmine and geranium. Matching aftershaves, post-shave toners, post-shave salves and colognes are available as a permanent offering from Chatillon Lux.

More precise details to come soon from both myself and @"landlgrooming"

I'll bet that postal depot smelled very strongly of something that may have smelled good at lower concentrations. Thanks hawns for shedding some light on the mysterious "late January " release that wasn't. Looking forward to a safe release next month.

Thanks. And yeah, it was a hot mess. I am sure someone smelled a smell that he or she will not soon forget, as it probably is permeating everything around them.

Awesome, looking forward to it Shawn.
