Italian Citrus
- Brush: Chisel and Hound Ambrosia Maple with 26 mm synthetic Maggard knot
- Razor: Koraat Sparschweinchen (7/8", “Sheffield-style” full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia Verbena Toscana
- Aftershave: Speick Men Active After Shave Lotion
- Fragrance: Farina 1709
Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can’t put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent Austere August setup.

Citrus and vervain are a very good combo; there is a French hand soap that has this scent, and I always thought that that should be what Electric sheep should smell like

What’s that hand soap?
I’ve never smelled electric sheep, it’s been described to me as mosquito repellent so many times that I’ve never felt the meed to try it.

It’s Verveine Citron by Le Petit Olivier
I don’t have any bad association with mosquito repellent, and I don’t mind the scent of Electric Sheep. But it lacks the complexity of Verveine Citron.

Added to the shopping cart, thanks for the tip
Me neither, the drops of citronella oil in the clay diffuser before going to bed are deeply engrained childhood summer memories (I grew up in mosquito country). But it’s not something super enticing for me either.
