Thank you for the kind words.  It was my first custom commissioned directly from Aldo - he crushed the pour and the knot, an 29mm HD Hybrid, is near perfection.

Tears of the Dragon arrived just in time for my Christmas shave.  Frank, you have once again produced a treasure.  Nobody does rose like you, and adding rose to your iconic Dragonsbeard created an extraordinary scent.  I am not surprised it is sold out.  Your last three new releases (Russian Tea, Never Sleeps and Tears of the Dragon) are fantastic!!  

Merry Christmas and thank you and your assistant for all of the hard work you both put in this past year to make such special products for us.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. Much appreciated. I’m glad you like the Tears of a Dragon Aroma along with the Russian Tea and Never Sleeps. It’s been a little hectic the last 2 months life wise for Annette and myself but we got through it and although late to the party we got these releases along with Noel made before the Holidays.
I’ve been wanting to make the Tears of a Dragon for over a year and it finally came together. In my own opinion I think with the addition of the two different Rose Absolutes, the Oud at higher levels in the blend along with the addition of a little shot of the Patchouli Absolute and Pink Peppercorn gave it more legs, more depth and as you mentioned the Rose came to the top and I will say working with a lot of natural aromatics I’d put Rose in the top 5 and for sure top 10 as far as scent strength amongst all Essential Oils and Absolutes. When using it the complete work area is filled with the scent of Rose.

Hope you had a wonderful two days of Christmas celebration with family and friends!

Best wishes

Frank
