been using the unscented skin food splash for a few days now. so far, so good. the pineapple noir (I think it's called success) smells fantastic based on the sample Frank sent me so I ordered a bottle of that last night.

Success is quite lovely but yet prefer unscented splash given a choice. PM if you want to ditch the unscented

Shavemd Nice photo and that Yates with CG Prism handle looks great with the ETHOS Lime - I suspect the scent paired with hydration was totally sublime and most excellent too

The soap has a great scent and lathers great but does not have as much slickness and residual or ghost slickness as the other Ethos soaps. I know this was a collaboration with another soap maker and it is a little different.

Got to use Ethos and CBL collaboration fresh lime soap sample  and the Mysore Santal skin food splash/cologne and its as a very nice surprise. The soap was very good like the other Ethos soaps and I think if you are a lime fine you will like this. It is a very fresh lime and is not synthetic in anyway. I find the post shave feel to be top notch  and the main factor I look for in a top tier soap. This did not disappoint and I actually ordered a tub of it with matching skin food splash this evening. Next was the star of the show and that was the Mysore Santal skin good splash/cologne. Now this is sandalwood people! It puts the other sandalwoods products to shame with scent (including original AOS). This Mysore sandalwood scent is pure and does not smell like it was made in bulk or synthetic. This skin food splash is truly niche in the fragrance world and for people into fragrance this is very good. For me and for my wife its as not so strong she could not be by me or my scent would enter the room before I did. It was stronger that the regular skin foods but nothing crazy strong. I feel I can wear this on a nice night out in quarantine to my living room, haha. After reading about it this kind of sandalwood I was very impressed with how sought after it is and now I know it is  because of how impressive it is. Im glad that I got to buy a bottle of this stuff and now my problem is going to try not to use it up too fast because I think Ethos will have a hard time keeping it in stock!
Overall, I have been very impressed with Ethos products and it has taken over my den as my go to stuff. Really hope Frank is able to make more and keep up with demand. In addition, I have said his before and I still stand by it.. Ethos for me is the breakout brand of 2020 and these products are in a different league compared to others. Keep up with the very good products, and my only form of criticism is that I wish the skin food splash could come in a bigger bottle!   

PS I was sent a sample of the hydrating gel and it was great. My wife used the gel as well and she was even impressed...I will write more on that when I have used it some more.

Thank you Bo for the kind words and detailed review of the Mysore Santal. It is my personal favorite scent being a Sandalwood fan. What’s sad is Mysore Sandalwood back in the 70’s was readily available and for normal prices. Now it’s extremely hard to source as there are a lot of fakes out there and if you do find it the price is the price of gold. Mysore has a warmth and creaminess that is just not found in any other Sandalwood oil.  I was very lucky to get some and I’m trying to get some more. 

I'm glad the Hyaluronic acid gel worked for you and the misses and I just have a little fine tuning to do on the formula this weekend and it will be ready for release as soon as the labels come in. 

Thank you!

I use unscented balms/splashes for when I shave at night (which is usually 95% of the time)..so I'll definitely be hanging onto it.

Any feedback on the pineapple noir compared to the other Aventus inspired scents from Stirling (Executive Man), A&E (Spartacus), and DG (Sellout)?  I find Sellout a little like lemon pledge and my Executive Man sample got damaged in transit.

Thanks!
