DaveWave94@wetshav.ing 3 weeks agoYeah, 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.

Thanks for looking! Pasteur Pharmacy and The Razor Company both carry LJdJ here in the states, and neither store has inventory of the product. I’m certain that’s due to tariffs. I can wait.
