ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

LMAO!

Thanks Tommy!

Another of my customers calls me that.. I wish I was a Stallion. More like an old mule!

JK  and thanks for the encouragement my friend!

You know what they do with old stallions don't you???  They put them out for stud.

Those Mares or maybe an occasional Philly sounds good to me.

You boys are randy. I would rather sleep. ?

UPDATE: 

A couple of quick ones. 

FlashOne aka Salvatore over in Italy has shipped some of the I Coloniali aftershave to my Euro vendor Anticatura and he will send it to me so between the Shave Soap and the Aftershave I'm sure I'll get a good take on the scent and I'll begin to work on it. 

Speaking of Anticatura, for all my Euro customers I'm shipping out an order today that has a lot of Skin Food Splashes as they really like the Alcohol splashes. Anel the owner has a US Shipping forward service that is licenced to ship Alcohol. 

kind regards

I may not have had the right one but the I Coloniali aftershave I had didn’t smell anything like the mango soap. The one I had was like a milk. Nice smell but different. Was there a matching splash/post shave to the soap?

Marko, you are right! ..... There was no matching afs or asb. They smelled nothing alike. The soap is the homage target.

The closest scent to I Coloniali mango oil soap was the rhubarb aftershave balm but it was different and not as good as the soap. I'm glad I still have a few pucks and shavecream left.

Thanks for the information about the difference between the soap and aftershave. Well I’ll get to smell it but if it’s not like the soap which is the target then I’ll just stick with that as they’ve scent target. FYI there’s a note in the soap that’s very familiar that keep avoiding my my memory but when I get that one I think the others will come more easily. I open the jar at least twice a day and do this routine. I sniff the jar deeply close my eyes and take it all in and then clear my nose by sniffing deeply through cloth ( the cofffe beans don’t work and professional perfumers don’t use them ) I tell people that when going to a fragrance counter. Just use your sleeve or any kind of fabric as that’s how you clear your nose. After that I do the same thing and the one thing I’m certain about is the mint in the scent. It is not spearmint, peppermint or any other mint most are familiar with. It’s almost like a type of toothpaste mint or breath mint I’ve smelled before and I have to try several ideas I have regarding the mint note. I get a woody note that’s somewhat dry, there’s a light spicy note and a subtle fruity note. One note keeps coming up in my head and I’ve ordered it to see if I’m on or off base on that because it’s been a long time since I’ve laid my nose on it and that’s Mahogany.  So I’m working on it guys. And a footnote. The more I smell it the more I like it and I’ll say whomever blended the aromatic ingredients did a good job as it’s very smoothly blended as no notes jump out and clearly announce themselves. The mint note is about the only one that sort of does. Not a simple dupe but I’m determined to get it right. The challenge has been put forth not only by some members but by myself and anyone that knows me well knows I like a good challenge. Unless of course I really dislike a scent then I have no motivation to chase it.

Ok I’m going to try to get back to sleep and sorry for the rant but I do some of my best ranting when I’m lying in bed and have a hard time getting to sleep.

Not only AS, but also EDT and balm (see HERE and HERE).

I have often thought about writing a thread to shed some light on all the misconceptions surrounding this brand, but have not had the time, hopefully in the near future.

Sorry but you're wrong (see previous post)

Peek-a-boo! 

Peek-a-boo! 

So I just got these in as I have been thinking about using them for one of the upcoming Shave Soaps and I just created this combo in Photoroom just to give you an idea of how they can work with different labels. I’ve thought about using them for a limited release or for custom orders etc. an I can get gold Skin food splash caps and sprayers in the gold so the products match. I did a share buy with Shannon at Elysian Soaps so I took 100 lids. So I’m sure you’ll see these on her upcoming releases. 

Just like to get some feedback. 

Thank you for all that you members do to help me with my projects. I feel like we are family on here. 

All the best Frank

I think the gold lid made the artwork seem calm and relaxing. Now I want to see your bulldog artwork with this lid.
