"Dogs are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions, they make no criticisms." - George Elliot

Since Macduff turned five this August (2021),  Sean wanted to do a tribute soap to acknowledge his strong presence both in the business and his life. Every label he's designed, every scent that he's researched and formulated, Macduff was there not too far away, either laying by his feet or snoring away in his ill-fitting bed beside Sean's desk. 

Why Macduff? A lot of people wonder if it's his last name or where that name comes from. When Sean first decided to start this business, He was struggling with a name and on a whim he chose “Macduff” as he had just brought him home a few short months ago, and, as a demanding Scottie puppy, obviously on his mind quite a bit.

Back then, Sean only had six scents and only sold hand soaps. One of these original scents was a simple blend of coffee, spice and bitter almond called Almond Biscotti-- he still sells that hand soap to this day. Countless times he has accidentally spelled it “biscottie” which in part inspired the idea to use this scent as a tribute to Macduff.  

Almond Biscottie is a rich and decadent coffee scent. Initial notes of bitter almond and some green coffee essential oil open up the scent, (green coffee has a herbal, peppery and almost cinnamon like note quality). The almond, while punchy, quickly fades to a delicious blend of vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted coffee and allspice. You will also find tonka bean absolute, which has an almond like smell, and with the addition of patchouli, lends a buttery quality to the dry down. There is plenty of sweetness here, but with the dry, roasted coffee, there should be enough nuance here for someone looking for a deep and rich scent.
