The Pacific Northwest (PNW), reflected in the soap and splash choices, is a stunning region of snow-capped mountains, dense evergreen forests, and dramatic coastlines along the Pacific Ocean. Misty mornings, clear rivers, and vibrant wildflowers add to its enchanting beauty, creating a timeless natural paradise.
AA Shaving is located in Washington, which at the time of the Civil War was part of the Washington Territory. The territory's support for the Union and contributions to the broader war effort were significant given its remote location and small population. Washington Territory provided several volunteer companies that were engaged in maintaining order, as well as guarding vital transportation routes and infrastructure. The territory's economic contributions, particularly its logging and mining resources, were essential to the Union war effort.
Finally, the fragrance today is Union related, based on the description: "Grant threw himself vigorously into his duty. One noteworthy performance that caught President Lincoln's eye was the capture of Fort Donelson from the Confederacy. When asked for his terms when negotiating the surrender, Grant demanded unconditional surrender."
