Lathering up with Tallow & Steel’s Himalaya is like stepping into a secluded mountain sanctuary. The scent is a rich, invigorating blend of fresh, crisp alpine air mixed with a heavy dose of earthy notes of moss and cedarwood. As the rich, creamy lather enveloped my face, I can almost feel the cool breeze and hear the distant echo of a mountain stream. It’s a refreshing start to the day, that’s for sure. After the shave, Epsilon’s Scottish Spirit splash brings a bold and bracing twist. Continuing the outdoor experience, the scent is a robust blend of smoky peat, aged oak, and a hint of heather, capturing the essence of the wilderness. To round off this olfactory expedition, a spritz of Boucheron’s Jaipur Homme adds a touch of exotic complexity. The fragrance is a rich tapestry of spices, floral notes, and warm woods. Opening with a burst of citrus and spice, it quickly deepens into a heart of cinnamon and nutmeg, before settling into a luxurious base of vanilla and woodsy notes. It’s like coming back to a nice resort after from spending the day hiking in the wilderness. A nice balance of opulence and ruggedness. Today's shave was a really nice olfactory experience from mountain wilderness, ending with a touch of exotic luxury. Perfectly balanced to keep me feeling fresh, strong, and ready to overcome whatever the day throws my way today.
Thanks for putting on a really fun Lather Games. I didn’t really know what to expect heading into this, but I had fun with it. Already looking forward to improving next year!
