Chatillon Lux Provisions and Chatillon Lux Parfums

Shawn, I, too, would like to thank you for that response. Some real food for thought in there — much appreciated!

Reading this made me happy. Duplicate fragrances have their place, but all the common ones are already being made by 2–3 other manufacturers, anyway. On the other hand, when people buy Chatillon Lux, they know they are getting something that no one else makes. (Reminds me of the saying: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”)

So true.  I like bay rum and I tried last year to convince Shawn that he should make a bay rum aftershave so I could enjoy the incredible Chatillon Lux face feel with the smell of bay rum.  He wouldn't do it.  He politely declined and withstood my repeated attempts at persuading him that every maker of post shave products ought to have a bay rum in their line up.  Nope.  He's not a fan of bay rum and he won't make something he doesn't like just because it will sell.  The closest I got was some bottles of unscented toner that I could add my own bay rum scent to.  That worked ok but still, it wasn't a Chatillon Lux scent was it?  In any case it was finally agreed that Shawn would do a limited edition "bay inspired" creation.  He would have complete freedom to come up with whatever he liked, the only proviso being that it contained bay.  The result was Blackberry Blossom Bay which is fantastic and a completely original creation.  Not a bay rum and definitely not a duplicate of anything ever done before.  By remaining completely true to himself and his brand, I believe that Shawn came up with something that far exceeds any run of the mill bay rum.  There are plenty of bay rums out there but there's only one Blackberry Blossom Bay.  And there's only one Chatillon Lux.

Awesome! I wanted to do it, but thine own self be true. I'm so glad I could come through on that wish but still do something in my own style. It was a new experience to make something I thought was good but that I don't personally love. Maybe that's why I had to work extra hard to make it good since I looked at it more critically and objectively.

Although, don't tell anyone, but a while back I got a haircut and they used Virgin Island Bay Rum on my neck. Upon application, I was not happy, but I noticed later that afternoon that I got a few whiffs that I kind of enjoyed.

Would we ever?!  Hey, guys, GUYS guess what...

Man, thanks, that's exactly what I'm going for. So glad to hear it resonates. Also, love your signature! Mitch was the best.

You are most welcome, and like said, just keep doing what you do best. I would think that’ll be much more memorable than “Chatillon Lux had a pretty good dupe fragrance”…

(Also, Mitch truly was the best, and I’m sad that he’s not around anymore to inject his unique kind of comic goodness into a world that could really use it.)

Come to the dark side Luke....and, (to mix my sic-fi references)....resistance is futile

I applaud the use of sci-fi references (especially TNG). But you crossed the streams!

Hehe, see what I did there?

I am getting settled in to the new place and the webstore will be going live tomorrow night. I'll also be working on wholesale orders and hope to get those out within the week. Thank you all for your patience and support!

Whats involved in moving an online, virtual store?

Ah..probably physically moving and setting up the non "virtual" components and stock of said store.

Oh, so Shawn is actually moving himself not just the on-line store

That's the way I took it but I have no first hand knowledge!

Yeah, Shawn moved to a new location in the last week or so. I'm sure he's getting settled!
