Most of us artisans were still figuring things out in real time while the larger shaving world looked at artisan soapmakers suspiciously, like we were building radios out of coconuts in the jungle...\u003ci\u003eor something.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eSome scents from that era disappeared almost immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOthers survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCoconut Bay w\/ Lime became one of the lifers. And honestly, I never expected it to last this long. Heck, I didn't expect our small time, spare room in an apartment operation to last either!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat started as a simple idea, adding coconut to a bay rum blend after a customer suggestion, slowly evolved into one of the most recognizable scents we’ve ever made. Then came the lime. Then the chamomile. (and then the Hedione in the splash \u0026amp; edp)...Then the balancing act of making the whole thing feel tropical without turning it into a novelty scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThat was the trick.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eBecause Coconut Bay was never supposed to smell like sunscreen or frozen drinks served in novelty glassware. \u003cbr\u003eIt smells smooth.
