Ever consider an AMA on this forum? I’m eternally curious about the process of creating scents.

Thanks!

I would think some possibles would be Tonka Bean, Bay Rum, Tortola or Tears of the Dragon. That's about as dark as I can think he has but could be missing some. I definitely recommend Russian Tea. Hopefully Frank will chime in.

I have about a dozen of Frank's creations and the only "dark" scent is DB. I'm betting Tears of a Dragon will be a killer dark rose.

Hello my friend 

As far as dark scents I think you and Dave have covered most but I’d have to add Mandarino Fumo as it’s a deep powerful Tobbaco Leather aroma. It has the most longevity as far as the post shave products. I will be slightly modifying that scent on the next go round which will be this winter. 

The Tears of the Dragon is definitely got more legs than Dragonsbeard with the increase in the Oud and Rose and the little touch of the Patchouli absolute which is there if your nose search’s for it. I’d also look at Lost Souls which is more of a deep forest scent. I have no plans for any new aromas coming out this Winter to be anything other than darker, richer type scents. A couple could possibly be put in the Gourmond category but still be looked at as kinda dark. 

As I mentioned before in an earlier post other than Never Sleeps I have no plans for any new aromas that are cologne like or use a bunch of synthetic aroma chemicals. Also no plans for any florals or fruity scents till spring. I don’t know how you’d categorize a natural Fougere but the one I’m working on I’d say is not dark nor is it fruity but rather more green but with some depth. 

After the Holidays I’ll be updating new aromas I’ve been playing with that will be made this winter. 

Hope that explains things my friend and thank you for your support. 

Frank

UPDATE: 

If you are on the list for the Limited Edition Tears of a Dragon in the Black Glass Jar I will be sending out links early next week and it all depends on my website developer as to when I get it. I’m hoping for Monday if possible. We will be shipping out both the Tears of a Dragon and the Noel in the 4.5 oz size to both The Razor Company and Pasteurs on Monday so we will try to release these two as soon as possible.  Both the Tears of a Dragon and the Noel that are in the 7.5 oz size will as normal be available only on the ETHOS website. 


Thank you.

Thank you gentlemen for sharing these two great-looking SOTD photos.

Sascoman How's that Kailua in the Winter? Haven't used mine in a while. We got 12 degrees here tomorrow.
