Granted the term was being used back in jolly old England too and the surrounding English-speaking countries but I really think our fine folks on the frontier added the \u003cstrong\u003eBOOM!\u003c\/strong\u003e Historically, a Boomtown was a small settlement that started up around the opening of a new mill or factory during the infant days of the industrial revolution in the US, and as mentioned above, abroad. Yet the Boomtown we think of when that word is tossed around is gritty, dusty, and wild. These two syllables whether whispered or shouted evoke strong images of gun-slinging folk legends and outlaws, \u003cem\u003eCowboys \u0026amp; Indians, \u003c\/em\u003eStagecoaches, and Gold...\u003cem\u003ea mother lode!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUnlike a secure job in a quaint British village, our Boomtown denizens where lured by Adventure, Gold, Copper, Silver, a Quick Pay Out, Suckers Suffering in the Greedy Grip of Gold Fever! These settlements were seeded with unsavory types as well as folks just trying to start a small family and scrape by. At the end of the day, these towns were all about gambling or taking a gamble, no matter what your venture was if you really think about it. I don't think it's any mistake that the popular slang of the time was mostly derived from games of chance; Faro, Poker, Bowling, etc...and yes bowling was quite popular in the West...\u003cem\u003ethe Dude would be proud.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/Boomtown_Bay_Rum_Family_large.jpg?v=1531438484\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs soon as the mine dried up most folks were on the first train or coach out of town and on to the next. With the majority leaving, businesses found themselves selling their wares to only ghosts and soon they too would be on a train.

It seemed the least I could do in an attempt to memorialize these Boomtown years during the growing pains of the USA. Much like perfuming is an attempt to capture something volatile \u0026amp; ephemeral so is this exercise and experiment I call Boomtown Bay Rum!

Yet for the shear poetics of the compound I wished to concoct, it would suffice. As most of you know by now, I am a Bay Rum freak, and have been for years, everything about this classic \"juice\" I adore, but like a spirited painted pony it must be shaped and molded into something useful. This is not easy work and a lot of the classic specimens out there make it look deceptively simple. This humble artistry has led many budding perfumers astray. I really believe people rush their \"Bay Rum\" to market without truly interfacing with it, understanding it, distilling it down to all its wondrous, essential components, both useful and \u003cem\u003ebootless.

To be honest, you really can't remove and isolate part of a scent’s genetics, but you can neutralize it. This was done with Elemi and Labdanum resins, they really took the sharp edges off an already relatively smooth formulation, so much so in fact that it had to be bumped back up, but without adding more bay. This was done with patchouli, but not straight patchouli oil or absolutes which proved far too potent, but with dried patchouli cut leaves \u0026amp; stems. I created a simple tincture in oil to be used in my soap and an alcohol tincture to be used in the splash and EDP. That slight hint of Patchouli's icy green signature proved to be good medicine in treating the deficit I was experiencing in the target shape of the fragrance.

What I needed for this West World I was constructing from the ground up was Dusty, Smokey with a tinge of Birch Tar and Sharp, but not too sharp! This took a lot of trial and error and once the scent was created it then needed to be the precise ratio or, ominously, like Gunpowder, it had the potential of being way to overpowering. Leather really is a tricky note to utilize in any blend due to its strength and unruliness...Leather does what it wants, like the honey badger. Needless to say, it took quite a few batches to get this right, 7 in fact. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucky # 7!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Seemed fitting in keeping with the game of chance vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmoothing in the cracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt was then time to build up the overall shape and presence of the blend with traditional West Indian Spices, Herbs, and Citrus Notes. Some of these elements are what I call Ghost Notes, you may not notice them in the moment, but if I removed them, you'd notice. Other additional and subtle tones will also toy with your senses during dry down, like playful shadows weaving in and out of your awareness until you are left with the true root notes of the compound. Dramatics aside, this is not really a game with your nose but a fun way to describe a complex perfumer's device that is designed to ease you into the depths and soul of Boomtown Bay Rum! The final piece was the Charred Oak Barrel Aging a practice I have been using and perfecting for the last few years now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlchemical Magic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNext was the maturing process. Typically, I mature or age my Eau De Parfum in glass for 4-6 weeks (sometimes longer!). This is all well and good, but I really wanted to explore using charred oak barrel casks.

Boomtown Bay Rum is Bold, Distinctive, Evocative, Spicy yet smooth, Invigorating, Robust, Animalic with a brightness and big personality.

Elemi, an ancient resin dating back to the time of the Pharaohs (Faro: the theme remains intact), is also spicy \u0026amp; peppery but contains more pronounced woody-grassy facets not found in Labdanum, this synergy creates an interesting interplay of sensation when both are combined with traditional Bay Rum elements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen all was done I collapsed back into my desk chair and wafted a freshly poured bottle of Boomtown under my nose and breathed it in and smiled.

I think the black pepper can be included in that sentiment with the classic spiciness it delivers, which was a throwback to classic splashes.

The natives soon began building fake runways, air traffic towers and even fake straw aircraft. They carved wooden rifles and marched in formation. They lit signal fires and raised the American Flags on poles. \u003cem\u003eAll for precious cargo\u003c\/em\u003e. After all, if these rituals they observed worked for the soldiers, surely it would work for them. One day soon John Frum would return to them with cargo in hand!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow mind you, this is not an isolated event.

This includes the John Frum and Tom Navy cults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is just another part of our curious war time history that I think a lot of folks missed out on. I find just as interesting as other, more famous events and phenomenon, if not more so! So, with all this in mind I made it my personal mission to put together a very special, classic scent that would somehow capture all this wackiness and wonder of a cargo cult. I got so into this project I nearly drugged myself into a coma...\u003cem\u003efor real. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, maybe not a coma, but it wasn't looking good...\u003cem\u003eI better explain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the South Pacific Island culture, a popular, and potent plant is consumed, Kava Kava. It's primarily a sedative, but when prepared ritually it is taken communally and passed around in a circle of men. When done right, the effects are numbing and euphoric at the same time. Those of you who follow what I do know that I will often base a scent on the flora of a location, in an attempt to try to bring that area of tribute to life. In the case of John Frum, I was curious about the scent of Kava Kava and hoped that through distillation I could get some essential oil from the roots, or at the very least a hydrosol, to add to the aftershave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter several attempts at distillation I failed to procure any essential oil, but the Kava Kava hydrosol did floweth, and man, if this is stuff is not related to vetiver at some level, I'd be shocked! Turns out Kava Kava has a very strong, green, and dirty scent! Seriously, this is some really nice stuff, and as I mentioned, very comparable to the scent of vetiver. [\u003cem\u003eVetiver fans will love the subtle undertones of Kava Kava that can be found in the accord. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: For the EDP Kava Kava Tincture was substituted for the hydrosol so as not to dilute the parfum.] \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually, this wasn't my first time dabbling with Kava Kava. Back in the day I use to take capsules of it after a heavy work out and before bed or make a Kava Kava tea. You may remember seeing it yourself in health food stores. It really was excellent stuff if you needed to mellow out and insomnia was not an option. Granted, neither the capsules, or tea bags were as potent as when made in the Island tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was also given a Kava Kava ceremonial bowl by an ex-girlfriend about 15 years ago after she returned from Fiji, where she observed the consumption of this magical stuff in real time. Again, I had only taken capsules and tea back in the day and never really experienced the Real Deal Kava Kava. Now after all this John Frum research you could say I was more than curious- I was \u003cem\u003eReady Ready.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, I dug around online and found a couple variations on the traditional recipe. Now with fresh Kava Kava Root in hand and my ceremonial bowl and masher I was ready. After about 45 minutes of preparation the milky white, vetiver smelling juice was all set to consume. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sat in a comfortable chair in the living room and drank all of it. After only what seemed a few minutes I melted into the armchair, both my mouth and tongue went completely numb; tingly. I felt like I was smiling but I doubt those tiny muscles were really working. I just laughed, everything was great, I wanted to dance, sing, possibly write a poem but could not move! It's said, it is impossible to hate or get angry when drinking Kava Kava, and man are they right. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my mind’s eye I started to put together the different notes I then somehow knew would work well in the scent blend, with much effort I managed to jot down the scent blend almost as if the Kava Kava root was dictating it to me. In recollection, it sounds kind of far out or silly, but at the time this was a very serious matter...well, kinda serious, there was that perma-smile on my face, real or imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI eventually fell asleep only to be shaken awake by Fran many hours later!

And then, for the last week, these subtle visitations seemed to stop, which was even more disconcerting. Maybe he was just seeing things after all, the product of an unnaturally over active imagination, which he and many could attest to.

They were sent out to observe CUBE, gather information and capture him (or her) alive. They relied on different sci-fi looking hand held gadgetry to track this mysterious beings whereabouts all around the planet. CUBE never stayed in one place for more than a few days but he had been hanging around Phoenix for weeks now. Whenever they had an eye on CUBE, it seemed CUBE had an eye on Doug. It was time to find out what this globe trotting soap maker knew. The trick was to get him when he was alone. This proved close to impossible for he always seemed to be in the company of either Fran or that giant wolf looking dog. This particular group of men were not dog people, nor were they cat folk.

Let's face it, mama nature was never meant to be a house wife in any epoch. Order and domestication is not a good look for her. She made the choice, a long time ago, to just let it all hang out, to allow things to sort themselves out, and if humans or the gods didn't like it, too bad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the feral landscape of this new horizon an ancient parking garage is now crumbling to dust, its gnarled and exposed rebar makes an excellent support for the vines and vegetation that now cover what is left of the structure. A short distance away, a giant antenna supports a mass of mysterious, needling vines as they climb their way towards the sun in a slow, undulating rhythm of cling. At the base of the antenna is another mound of green, suggesting perhaps it was once a small UHF station. The air surrounding this scene is damp and thick with humidity. Airborne seed pods of all different sizes and colors are whirling like disturbed dust in a ray of sunlight coming through a window pane on a sleepy Sunday morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn abundance of trees, various and looming, of unknown species grow steadily towards the sky, dwarfing what we ever could recall of those majestic Northern California Redwoods. Huge birds, reptiles, and insects partake in the cacophony of this immense rain forrest scene and symphony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, at precisely the same moment that a giant Venus fly trap clamps down on an unsuspecting lizard, is when it appears. Just like that, no warning, no reason, no sound...a cube. About the size of an average microwave oven, sleek, black, and hovering in place silently. It seems to scan the invasive green landscape, spinning slowly in a circle, taking it all in. If it could, it would give an impressed whistle. Then in a flash of white light it disappears just as suddenly as it previously arrived. However, in that same moment, on that same spot, a group of strangers flash into sudden existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“He was here.” The man said, pulling off his pith helmet and wiping sweat off his brow with the back of the same hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“How do you know?” Asked the woman standing next to him, but before he could answer another voice spoke up, “because he can smell it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe man in the pith hat and woman both turned and in unison shout in surprise, “Aldous”!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis in turn scares the living bejeezus out of the 100 pound malamute that was, up until the outburst, caught up on his own suspicious scent trail. No, it wasn't that pesky, meddling CUBE he was picking up on, though its charcoal like ozone musk was undoubtedly fresh and still hanging on the breeze like a lightening strike. No this other distinctive scent was both more menacing and more intriguing. Green, slightly spicy, feisty, unruly, and teeming with life. It danced in front of the mesmerized malamute like a dangling mystical carrot of taboo, like a phantom or trickster spirit, reminiscent of the coyotes he had bumped into accidentally in the Arizona desert after dark. But now Huxley's reverie was broken and he just stared at the strange looking human before him. \"This better be good...\" he thought, \"or at least call for a lunch break.\" His stomach grumbled as if to punctuate that last point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAldous stood naked as a jaybird before them except for a turban, and in that same instance Ludmilla suddenly materialized. Aldous made a high pitched shriek and disappeared in a white flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Damn it, he's gone again!\" Doug blurted out while making an exaggerated show of feeling the air wildly with his hands where Aldous just was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"He really needs to stop doing that.\" he added. \"I think he likes you Ludmilla,\" Fran added. Ludmilla just stood there looking confused and doubtful, still wearing her cloak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, Aldous reappeared in a smart plaid sports jacket, jeans, a t-shirt, and a cap in place of the turban. \"Sorry, still getting used to this Time Hopping thing.\" Doug just pointed his finger at Aldous, and said in the same tone he would to Hux, \"Stay.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey all now looked around slowly. Where were they? Judging by the strange make of the grounded crafts and vehicles in the what one could imagine were at one time streets, they were at some point in the future...but when? \"Why would the CUBE lead us here?\" asked Douglas and continued, \"Mega Flora \u0026amp; Fauna for all the eye can see.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I'm not sure.\" answered Fran in a distracted tone as she knelt down poking at the gelatinous substance glistening on the twisting vines that covered the road. She then looked up at everyone and matter of factly asked, \"How did we all escape the 1920s?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat was actually a really good question. The last thing Doug remembered was being lifted up by his hood and thrown into the back of a wagon outside the great carnival tent they had been rolling around in right before all hell broke loose. Had they all collectively time hopped together? At this point it seemed as if the phenomenon had an intelligence of its own and they in fact had zero control over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore they had an opportunity to compare notes, or get their bearings, off in the distance the CUBE reappeared. It didn't seem to pay them any attention and hovered off mysteriously into the jungle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll at once the group met each others gaze, and without vocalizing the same shared thought, decided to follow it quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 minutes after they were out of sight, Maria Orsic and her small band of Nazi soldiers magically appeared. \"He was here...\" She said making no attempt to hide the fact that she was sniffing the air, \"...Smythe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e                                                                 *   *   *\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/Mega_Flora_Ad_2_480x480.jpg?v=1587507170\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImmediately after entering the forrest both Fran and Doug felt uneasy, they could not help but sense they were being watched, even Ludmilla \u0026amp; Hux were on guard. Aldous, on the other hand couldn't appear more at home in the lush \u0026amp; fecund surroundings, yapping on and on about his short time as a vaudeville sensation. Every so often he would stop in mid sentence to delight in the smell a giant species of flower, and then he'd pick right back up in his diatribe on this and that. Douglas completely tuned him out and kept his eyes on the CUBE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoug first crossed paths with CUBE one strange day 5 years back on a trip to Blythe, California. He was there to check out some unique geoglyphs located there. He had reason to believe these ancient \"messages to the gods\" were actually part of a greater world treasure map of some sort, not intended for gods or aliens, but to the future generations that they knew would eventually take to the air...as they had, in their prime. It was Doug's suspicion that the builders of these vast glyphs were done by the diaspora of a once great, and by that time, fractured advanced civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadly, a lot of this true \"world map\" was destroyed by progress, and simply by honest folks over time that had no idea what they were looking at, if they could even distinguish what it was at all. Thanks to modern LIDAR technology, which is used to survey vast expanses of land from the air, it was possible to see even more of what was on this theoretical map. Douglas was doing just that with a drone Fran had cleverly modified. He commanded the drone from his phone as it flew at a hight of 400 feet. The task was monotonous, similar to mowing the lawn in the sky. For that very reason Fran had decided to stay back at the lab in Arizona, doing more clever Fran things. The scan was for the most part automated. It relied on a digital grid system generated by the program utilizing a standard GPS guidance system. Meaning, he didn't have to look up all day operating a joy stick. But that didn't mean he wasn't looking up, in fact, Doug's eyes were most of the time on the sky...and that, my friend, is how he came to spot CUBE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"What is that?\" Doug thought out loud, startling Huxley who snoozed in a slender section of shade offered by a nearby Organ Pipe Cactus. It really just appeared out of nowhere. Was it another drone? He scanned the landscape looking for a pilot but there was no one around and he was so far away from anyone or anything. Blythe was one of those towns where folks typically only stopped for gas or if they broke down. Was it a balloon? Maybe A Box Kite? At a height of 400 feet, with the afternoon sun directly behind the object, it was tough to say. But it was moving as if guided by something, and was coming uncomfortably close to the drone as it plotted along merrily on its invisible grid. It seemed to be checking it out. Doug dug through his backpack looking for his monocular. Huxley, now interested, bounded over to help. Well, that is if \"helping\" meant poking around for Cliff Bars, which is how he interpreted Doug's actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeering through the spyglass Doug searched the sky until he came upon the object. It was a perfectly black CUBE. He guessed it was just slightly bigger than the drone. Now the CUBE suddenly seemed to realize it was being observed and locked one of its 6 sides on Douglas. The hair on the back of his neck stood up and an eery feeling reeled down his spine as he saw the CUBE honing in and picking up speed as it closed the distance between them. It was at this point that Huxley took notice of the incoming black box, or more like \"Lunch Box\", at least in Huxley's mind. As Doug sprinted towards the Jeep Huxley fixed his stare on the rapidly approaching toy. Then with the CUBE only a few short feet away, and ready to dive bomb the Jeep as Doug dove into the hatch, Huxley leaped into the air, jaws open and ready. The giant malamute landed, rolling through the dry sand wrestling his prize into submission. Huxley quickly realized the object definitely was not lunch, nor was it edible. The CUBE, much to his surprise tasted like old people feet, an acquired taste for sure. He quickly spit it out with much gusto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoug hopped out of the back of the Jeep and walked over to the CUBE, now motionless on the ground. He gently kicked at it with caution and trepidation, as one does with an unexploded firecracker. There was no movement. There were obvious bite marks on parts of it but in a matter of seconds they were gone! The CUBE then slowly rose to eye level and began to give the human who had caused him so much trouble a once over. It then lowered itself down to Huxley level and repeated the scan. Then, once more it rose up to look head long into Doug's eyes creating some sort of strange, invisible link between the two. And in an instant Doug was in the CUBES head. He understood immediately what the CUBE was up to...but it didn't quite add up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CUBE suddenly broke the mental tether, lowered itself, slashed one of Doug's tires and shot off into the sky. \"What the?\" said Douglas as he and Hux stared off after it, and then at each other shrugging. That was the first time they bumped into CUBE, but certainly would not be the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo Be Continued...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mj\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Shaving","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32110511521840,"sku":"","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/mega-flora-eau-de-parfum-edp-an-aromatic-fougere-30ml-631111.jpg?v=1759255507"},{"product_id":"frost-byte-eau-de-parfum-edp-a-chilling-take-on-a-phoenix-classic-30-ml","title":"Frost Byte Eau De Parfum (EDP) | Contains Synthetic Menthol \u0026 Menthol Crystals | 30 Ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes sir, this EDP contains not only a dash of menthol crystals, but also synthetic menthol!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYup, super chill, not only do you get a nice refreshing zing from the combined Essential Oils and absolutes of Tea Tree \u0026amp; Peppermint but also the icy chill of mega menthol!

Thomas (British), for an article in the journal Nature. In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, a metabolic by-product of certain Actinobacteria, which is emitted by wet soil, producing the distinctive scent; ozone may also be present if there is lightning. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth.This would indicate that the plants exude the oil in order to safeguard the seeds from germination under duress.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product--container layout--two-col\" data-product-wrapper=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"product--outer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description rte\" data-product-description=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e30ml \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.button {\n   background-color: #f59542;\n   color: #f59542;\n   font-size: 16px;\n   padding: 10px 30px;\n   text-align: center;\n   display: inline-block;\n   text-decoration: none;\n}\n.button:hover {\n   background: #f59542;\n   color: #f59542;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Shaving","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32293750472752,"sku":"","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/products\/la-tierra-mojada-eau-de-parfum-return-of-a-phoenix-shaving-classic-petrichor-7655960.jpg?v=1754694553"},{"product_id":"doppelganger-gold-label-eau-de-parfum-edp-30-ml","title":"Doppelgänger Gold Label Eau De Parfum (EDP) | 30 Ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e: British Gin, Jamaican Lime, Scottish Highland Pine,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duke of Windsor Roses, Lady Banksia Rose \u003cstrong\u003eBase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bahamian Orange, Canadian Cedar, Australian Eucalyptus. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Homage to Creed's Royal Mayfair!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003eOh baby, this latest Doppelgänger is gonna really make some people extremely happy!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFind The Entire\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/phoenixartisanaccoutrements.com\/collections\/doppelganger-gold-label\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Gold Label\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDoppelgänger Gold Label Collection ===\u0026gt; HERE\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fragrance is not only very well known by the fragrance community but also possesses an amazing history\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003etaboot\u003c\/em\u003e!

(That's kinda like science.) -- My point is, Fresco, or it's namesake \u003cem\u003eFresh\u003c\/em\u003e really resonates with more than a few, young and old...and for a good reason. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rocks!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/Screen_Shot_2021-06-25_at_4.25.36_PM.png?v=1624663617\" width=\"546\" height=\"283\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh Scent?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFresco is our latest homage to a long lost Super Scent, 'Fresh Scent' by Old Spice. Do not confuse this for the stuff they currently sell under the same name or that other one, White Water (Sold in the UK).  Fresh Scent, like the Original Old Spice, is another Shulton's Formulation that often flew under the radar it would seem...\u003cem\u003ebut not mine!\u003c\/em\u003e Fresh Scent was not new to me. What I mean by that is, often, as a vintage aftershave collector, I will experience an old fragrance for the first time.

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent. It has been almost 30 years and I needed to know if it still stood up. Having had a short life span of about 6 years (88-94ish), its absence left a hole in my life. All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the time. [Is that too dramatic, I ask thee?] \u003cem\u003eDid I dare revisit it,\u003c\/em\u003e especially now that scents were my bread and butter? This is a lot like really enjoying a movie as a kid, so much so you continue recommending it for years to come even though you were 8 or 9 when you originally watched it.

A full, vintage NOS (new old stock) bottle...and all I could think of was \u003cem\u003eSaturday The 14th\u003c\/em\u003e. Was I gonna go down that same painful road again?

The very same little bathroom my pops taught me how to shave in! But aside from that instant \"Time Hop\" of nostalgia that we can experience with classic frags there was still that lasting enchantment and intrigue. It was even more pronounced and shapely than I remembered. Granted my palette for scent has evolved slightly, Fresh Scent is \u003cem\u003estill\u003c\/em\u003e something special and worth saving! So, with an even greater appreciation for this short lived, overlooked drugstore aftershave splash, I could now safely say that Old Spice really just got their timing wrong by more than 35 years!
