MacDuff's Soap Company Aftershave- The Herbalist
Notes: Tomato Leaf, Arugula, Herb Blend, Moss, Cyclamen, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Burnt Maple
The Herbalist is a celebration of all things herbal, encapsulating the fresh, green vitality of a summer garden. This summer blend opens with the distinctive notes of green tomato leaf and arugula with a touch of peppermint and cyclamen. The heart of the fragrance reveals a rich blend of green herbs which includes anise, eucalyptus, tea tree, fennel, sage, bay leaf, rosemary and basil, each contributing to a complex and invigorating aroma that remains in the background, providing an ambiance rather than a distinct note.
As the scent evolves, the base notes reveal a grounding warmth thanks to vetiver, cedar wood and sandalwood. The finish is enriched with a very subtle sweetness thanks to tonka bean and burnt maple.
About Their Splash
- Alcohol free witch hazel and aloe vera based splash
- Organic Jojoba oil and glycerine help the skin retain moisture (emollient).
