ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

UPDATE: 


There a few of you that asked for a real authentic Violet Shave soap.  So I've got all my Aroma ingredients with the exception of one which I had to sample first to make sure and it's awesome so I ordered a larger amount and it's on it's way. This is a simple blend of a few different Violet Aroma ingredients and just to be clear there are no synthetic aroma ingredients in this blend as you can see from the ingredients list. The Organic Violet Absolute is what I would call expensive and the only ingredient that will help keep the price down to a somewhat reasonable price is the Organic Violet Leaf Absolute 10% but it's not very strong scented so we will see how that goes when I make my sample. Just so you guys know and maybe that's why there has not been a natural Violet Shave soap made up to this point is the Organic Violet Absolute price is almost identical to Tonka Bean Absolute but the Organic Violet Flower Extract is stupid expensive and just a touch below an entry level Mysore Sandalwood oil at $424 an oz! It is very strong so I'm hoping I'm not going to have to use too much of it. I'm also going to try infusing some Violet Flowers I just purchased and see if I can get some added scent out of the infusion in an attempt to keep the price down. If my ideas of how to keep the price down we are still looking at Tonka Bean Shave soap price on this Violet Shave soap. This Shave Soap being Violet does not offer as many aroma options as the upcoming Rosa where I can get more creative in an effort to keep prices down to a somewhat reasonable price.  A Tallow Shave Creme would probably be a bit less expensive and I can easily test that as I have unscented base. So if you guys would rather have the Tallow Shave Creme it might save a few bucks.  As I've stated many times I price my products according to what's in them.

F-Base and Id be ok with an increased price to keep the quality as high as possible.  Im sure others would be as well, we all love Vanilla safi after all.

I thought the only thing you could really get with violet was leaf extract.  I didnt think flower extract was possible with violet.

Hi Dan

You’d be correct on the Violet Leaf and I was surprised but not shocked to fine the Vilolet Flower Extract from a Supplier out of the US who has Aroma ingredients that no one else has. He has some of the most precious, rarest Aroma ingredients I’ve ever seen. Many Vintage Aroma ingredients like several vintage Ouds and Mysore Sandalwood.!In fact he just announced that he was getting a very limited supply of 1912 Mysore Sandalwood oil. That’s over 100 yrs old and I can’t even imagine how much that will cost. I’ll order maybe 1 or 2 grams just to smell it and add it to my personal Vintage Mysore’s collection.

So getting back to the Violet Flower extract I will say it smells amazing and if cost wasn’t an issue I’d use it exclusively for this project but that’s just not financially possible as I’m sure we’d all have Shave Soap sticker shock.  With that said I’ll probably use it when I come out with my new Artisanal line of Eau de Extrait’s and Eau de Elixirs which both have higher concentrations of Aroma ingredients than a EDP but that’s for another post when the packaging design is completed and I’m ready to launch the line.

Good question BTW

Very cool. I have a good friend who works with oils for aroma therapy and he has gotten me some very rare oils but never Violet.  Hopefully I get a puck.

Ok a little help guys. 


So my Graphic Designer and myself finished the Label design for the Violet Shave soap top label and I’m going back and forth on the name. A part of me wants to just call it Violet plain and simple in English, but another part of me likes these other names as the message is this is Pure Violet or the essence of Violet. 

So here’s the there names I’ve got. 


1. Violet 
2. Essenza Di Violeta
3. Violeta Pura 
4 Violeta - Spanish,
5. Viola - Italian 
6. Violette - French 

Hey and if anyone has a suggestion feel free to post them 

Thank you 

Voila! Viola

I'm not a buyer of this scent probably but I like #2 and think it fits your name usage/labeling up till now on other products. Just by 2 cents

I like # 2

Number 2 is my favorite along with just plain Violet.

Voila! Viola

I like this one to but I think it's already been used a few times if I'm not mistaken.

Also forgot to mention my Graphic Designer wanted to do something more abstract but I wanted to keep it simple and show the flower. She also liked white font and I liked the yellow. Any thoughts guys?

From art training, looking at the colour wheel, I am guessing that white on purple is a compromise because the complimentary colour is bright green! That said, I think you are actually right with yellow, but if a more abstract image was used, a matte bright green would look nice. In other words, go with whatever you like! 

FWIW I also like Voila! Viola. And for your consideration:

And although you didn't ask for it, the mockumentary poet in me offers ...

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This stuff's the real deal,
Crafted expertly for you.
