ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Boy did I blow it!    I earlier said I was a fan of marigolds but in further investigation I don’t even know what a marigold smells like. What I meant to say was that I’m a fan of magnolias. Big difference I suspect. I first encountered magnolia in a shaving product in Bufflehead’s Velvet Ditch and I’ve been partial to it ever since. I’m told that magnolias are ubiquitous down in the southern states so perhaps not so interesting to southern boys but up here in the frozen north they do not grow at all and to me are intoxicating. 

Have come to loathe magnolias. House surrounded by them

As I said, not so interesting!  I can see how that scent all day every day might get on your nerves. Some fragrances are best in small doses. Example, bougainvillea smells nice enough and I can remember getting out of the plane in San Jose del Cabo 33 years ago with my then new wife on our honeymoon. When the cabin door opened we were struck with that fragrance and we thought it was lovely. After two weeks of breathing it nonstop, not so much. Some scents aren’t like that. A boreal forest is one, although the muskeg parts are pretty stinky.  To be honest, I could live without another magnolia scented soap. It’s not something you can use everyday like bay rum!

Here’s another one - try driving through Gilroy, CA just after the garlic has been harvested and hung to dry. You like the smell of garlic? It’s coming through the vents on the interstate five miles out. I couldn’t imagine living there and I like garlic.

Haha, I honestly didn't have any in mind, Frank. Definitely a soliflore... Maybe jasmine or lily of the valley? Tommy, help!

uh-oh I’m in trouble when you two get together! 

Frank, you are never in trouble when Neroli and I daydream about soaps ?.

Yes, the floral you need to bang out is Magnolia! I am in for multiple jars.

A reminder from my backyard here in KY.... my umbrella magnolia from june of last summer.

Guys no worries

After looking at the price of Magnolia Essential Oil I’d be totally up for doing a small custom batch on a pre order basis but to take a chance on a large batch right now is not on my bucket list with so many other scents I want to do for spring and summer.

I did order a small sample of the Magnolia blossom EO so I can put my nose on it.

How's the Eclipse Sets coming Frank?..... I had forgotten all about it until today and just looked up those posts again. Still on target for mid March ?

Yes my friend I’ll be making it and the Tonka bean the end of this week through the weekend.

Danny. I am sorry. I love them. Is it the leaves creating a mess or the scent? The floral season is so short, that can't be it?

Marko, right on - magnolia scent is really complex and quite amenable to soaps - right Frank?!

Count me in Frank. I know Neroli will be interested. F base, 7.5 oz puck baby!

Year round blossoms that reek of a whore and leaves that make life miserable constantly shedding 24/7/365. Adhere to genetic diversity but hate these trees
