Yeah, he’s really good. We did your Noir for one BVWSC and it was a really interesting scent to me too…
My other LJdJ is “Masala Connection” and I think you’d appreciate that scent even more. Bergamot, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Black Pepper, Cedar, Leather and Tonka Bean - it’s a very bold scent. The Witcher has a bit more sweetness due to the vanilla, Masala Connection is basically just spices, wood and leather. I don’t know how these work so well as a combination, but they somehow do…
So far I haven’t had a single product scented by Shawn Maher that I disliked. Truly a master perfumer.

I agree with you about Shawn. There isn’t one scent of his I’ve tried that didn’t hit for me. Masala Connection does sound great, especially for the cold months.

I was always wondering why so many artisans hired/collaborated with him to scent their products, now I know - he can do fresh interesting citrus like GraveFruit II as well as dark spicy barbershop scents like The Master.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a link to an american shop that carries that soap for you 😕 tariffs make ordering from Italy, Greece or Germany totally unviable for you in the US.
