ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Glad you're back on track Frank!!

Btw, are you planning to do the Violet in spring? If not, I'd like to get a custom order going
Sounds like you did some homework on what's a good natural violet scent already!

Yes my Friend while I’ve been home I have been doing my homework and I’ve got a sample of by far the best Violet EO I’ve ever smelled. The one thing is I called the supplier and he doesn’t have enough to meet my needs but will have in late April. Trust me this one is worth waiting for. It’s that good.  An I have a few sample of others in my library and this is very special. I also really like the idea of putting out some straight forward Single note products like the new upcoming RosaCollection Products. Yes there is a blend of Red, a little White and a variety of Organic Rose EO’s, An Absolute, CO2 extract, Rose Distillate and  Rose Floral water but they all speak nothing but pure Rose. 

I think a Straight Violet would also be awesome and I’m not sure that one has been done before so I’m my mind kinda unique. So excellent idea Matt!  Might of not thought of that one if it weren’t for you my friend.

Find many scents fail being overly complex; too clever by half as old saying goes....

I’m with you buddy!  There’s some things that are just amazing as they are!  No need to muddle them  up with all kinds of other notes.

Well I got a decent amount of orders filled and shipped for my first day back. It felt so good to be back in the saddle.

Excellent news!
And I don't believe anyone has done a "just natural" violet. It's well past due, so thank you for correcting that! I know it will be great.

Lets make this happen Matt..Violet absolute may be one of the biggest sleepers I've experienced as the first time I opened the sample of the Violet Absolute and I’m like wow. this is so good. I've just got to figure out how to keep the price down to a somewhat reasonable price as Violet Absolute and even Violet Essential oil are up there in price. Not quite Tonka Bean Absolute high but very, very close. Just saying I’ve got to put on my thinking cap on this one. With the Tonka Bean I was able to infuse my own Tonka Beans for some of the Aroma Blend and then I also used Tonka Bean Butter which is more reasonably priced than the Absolute, so they both helped keep the price down to a reasonable price as Tonka Bean Absolute would have jumped the price up considerably.. So it kept the price somewhat reasonable because if I only used Tonka Bean Absolute it would have easily almost doubled the final cost. So we do have a challenge here but I’ll find a way. I just did it with the upcoming Rosa and anyone that knows the price of Rose Absolute would know that it would definitely be a couple hundred dollar jar of Shave Soap because Rose is expensive and there are some really super expensive Rose Absolutes out there which I’ve seen go for $800 to over a $1,100 an oz! So much more expensive than either Tonka Bean or Violet absolutes but we found a way to keep it reasonably priced as I mentioned in the last post by using other Rose Natural Aroma ingredients. So I agree with you and I’m pretty sure your correct that this will be a first, cause I can assure you that threes not any  $15, $25 or $30 shave soap out there that’s gonna be a 100% Pure Violet. Not unless the Violet was a gift or they stole it. Lol 
One thing we've got going for us is the scent strength of Violet Absolute is pretty strong so although I’ll definitely have to test it in a small amount of the next F Base Shave soap I make to get the percentage right. NOTE: From a cost factor only Tallow Shave Creme would probably be the better option if that is the number one priority as I’m almost certain I’d have to use less of the Violet in the Creme than in the Shave Soap.

If I were to take the easy less expensive route I would be mixing a Violet EO or Absolute with a Aroma Chemical or Fragrance oil but honestly in the case of Violet it’s not even close and I’ve smelled some you’d really have to dig your nose ivery deep into to get any real  Violet nuances out of them at all so I’m letting everyone know I’m not going down that path. It’s either do it keeping it 100% Pure and use the real EO"s, Absolute's and any other natural Violet Aroma ingredients I can come up with or I’ll make custom Violet products only by requests. I do have some standards and there are lines I just won’t cross and this is one of those situations..  So we are going to do this one right! 

Thanks again my friend for sending me on this Violet journey! Now I’m stoked. 

All the best!
