Beware of the Overlook Hotel and Room 237!

Whether you're a fan of The Shining or not there's no mistaking the iconic nature of the Grady sisters. Often referred to as "the creepy little girls" who ask Danny to play with them. This iconic nature really inspired me to pick up this set as I'm a huge fan of The Shining movie.

There's something chilling about this label with the girls and the red walls. I just had to have it. If there was ever a label that sold me, this is one!

The scent for Room 237 was inspired by Single Malt by Killian. It's unmistakably boozy with its deep, rich notes of Plum, Whiskey, Wheat, Tolu Balsam, and Vanilla.

This one starts out boozy with the whiskey and plum notes but fades into a wheatyness that drifts into a creamy, woody vanilla drydown. It's decadent, manly and intoxicating. Be warned though! Your lady might want to eat you after smelling this on you. If so, you better pray she doesn't do what Lorraine Massey, the crazy woman from Room 237 does. She's the one in the bathtub that turns into a rotting old woman. Hahaha. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Take care everyone. Enjoy your shaves. And Happy Halloween!!!
