Ho, ho, ho! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to start the day than with a festive shave that even Santa would envy?
Smoking Bishop is the sweet scent of holiday cheer! This soap whips up a lather as thick as a snowdrift, with a fragrance that’s a delightful nod to Dickens' writing – it is referenced his holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Imagine the aroma of a steaming mug of mulled wine, rich with citrus, clove, and a hint of warm spices. If you close your eyes, you might just hear carolers singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" in the background. Sticking with the Dicken’s theme for the splash: Dickens Revisited: Next, the splash that brings Christmas past into the present. This aftershave is a merry blend of holiday scents that soothes the skin and lifts the spirits. It's like a Victorian Christmas party in a bottle—full of spice, warmth, and a hint of delicious cherry sweetness. Smoking Bishop and Dickens revisited go together like… Tiny Tim and his crutches - They are perfect for each other! Ebenezer Scrooge wishes he had a companion like this in his life! To cap off this festive shave, a spritz of Hugo Boss - BOSS Bottled Infinite. This fragrance adds a sophisticated touch with its fresh apple, cinnamon, and woodsy notes. The apple and cinnamon go perfectly with the soap and splash and the woodsy base makes is a perfectly wearable fragrance. It’s like stepping into a winter wonderland where style meets the crisp, invigorating air of a December morning.
Merry Christmas in June, everyone!
Challenge: I would have loved to wear a tophat to fit the Dickens theme, but I don’t own one. I had a fedora, but couldn’t find it. So I just wore a basic baseball hat. Not really Christmas themed, but it’s enough for the daily challenge!
