I'm actually surprised at how many beverage scented items there were to choose from today. Between coffee scents, tea scents, even a bourbon scent, today's choice was tough. I was recently turned onto milk teas and boba drinks due to some new restaurants and shops that have opened in the area. They're honestly addicting and the flavor cobinations are endless. Te Java excells at it's scent of royal milk tea with notes of tea and honey. It is very sweet and pleasant, almost like a graham cracker smell. If an aftershave for this product had been produced I'd undoubtedly use it. I followed the tea theme for the remainder of the shave. Eau de thé is incredibly refreshing and light. It consistently gets usage in my rotation. Thé Noir et Vanille is another fan favorite. The sweet strawberry and vanilla notes work beautifly on top of the black tea base.
My wettubing debut was not in the stars for today. My favorite wettuber was hands down Michael Freedberg. I purchased my first soap, Declaration Grooming Gratiot League Square, and my first brush upgrade, a Yaqi Moka Express, based off a Freedberg reviews. His tutorials are extremely informative, the reviews are thorough and genuine, and every video is full of positivity and joy.
