Koké (Abbate y La Mantia) pear & rhubarb
Shave 5
In 1891, Paul Gauguin, a French artist with a restless spirit, embarked on a journey to Tahiti, driven by a quest for artistic renewal. Dissatisfied with European civilization, which he felt stifled his imaginative impulses, Gauguin sought to immerse himself in a culture he thought was more authentic and spiritually profound than his own.
When Gauguin arrived in Tahiti, the locals called him “Koké” because that was easier for them to say than “Gauguin.” In fact, the Tahitian language doesn’t have a /g/ sound, so they used the /k/ sound instead. Gauguin was pleased with this arrangement, and he adopted his new name as a way to connect with the culture he was exploring.
“Island names” like Koké are common throughout the world but especially so in the Pacific islands, where for certain linguistic reasons, Western names are simplified or substituted with Polynesian versions. For instance, Robert Louis Stevenson was called “Tusitala” on Samoa; Herman Melville was named “Tommo” in the Marquesas; and Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer, was called “Tiki,” after his Kon-Tiki expedition.

Ethos - Rendezvous ( F base..from TRC ) This was my first experience with Ethos. Have since purchased several other items from Frank that have all exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to the introduction of some additional Fall scented soaps

Man, this has legs and pairs perfectly with Myrsol Agua Balsamica - I am a simple guy with my scent preferences - and the reviews speak to its unusual scent pyramid; however, this is really an interesting puck. I quite like it but would never recommend it based on scent alone, as it is quite unusual.. very bitter, very herbal and aromatic.![[Image: 9d376d98ab51e086bea8e211f50c83fd.jpg]](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240728/9d376d98ab51e086bea8e211f50c83fd.jpg)
