There's a reason why the best rum is fermented in Oak Casks rather than not so great rums fermented in Stainless Steel or other vessels...barrels are not cheap, but on an alchemical level, worth their weight in gold!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see, The tannic influences of the charred oak wood adds subtle notes of vanilla, coconut, peach and even clove...without the clove! Making this switch added a whole new level of depth and presence, if you will. There really is an amazing difference when compared next to a bay rum matured in simply glass...two very dramatically different animals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Dilute The Magic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext is my addition of West Indian Bay Hydrosol or Flower Water. Hydrosol is a byproduct of the distillation process of procuring Bay Essential oil (Pimenta Racemosa). This is all done by small batch in my lab by me to ensure purity and quality. I chose to use the hydrosol rather than just plain distilled water as is done with all other bay rum aftershaves and colognes. It's tough to just rush through this process in words so I created a short behind the scenes video especially for you, my dear reader. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VuH2YxqJLrk\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the skin food!

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.

Much like Bay Rum, not all Leather notes are the same. It's a fact, the scent of leather can be anywhere from Sweet, Powdery, Light, Dusty, Sharp, Woody, Smokey, Resinous \u0026amp; Flora. 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!

Typically, I mature or age my aftershave\/colognes 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. There's a reason why the best rum is fermented in Oak Casks rather than not so great rums fermented in Stainless Steel or other vessels...barrels are not cheap, but on an alchemical level, worth their weight in gold!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou see, the tannic influences of the charred oak wood contribute subtle notes of vanilla, coconut, peach, and even clove...\u003cem\u003ewithout the clove!\u003c\/em\u003e Making this switch added a whole new level of depth and presence, if you will. There truly is an amazing difference in the scent when compared next to a bay rum matured only in glass...\u003cem\u003etwo dramatically different animals. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/9d7e0a572b0085824a1991b769e913f8_large.jpg?v=1531439294\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Final Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLastly is my addition of West Indian Bay Hydrosol or Flower Water. Hydrosol is a byproduct of the distillation process of procuring Bay Essential Oil (Pimenta Racemosa). This is done by small batch in my lab by me to ensure purity and quality. I chose to use the hydrosol rather than just plain distilled water as is done with other bay rum aftershaves and colognes. This practice is a substantial part of the soul of my Boomtown Bay Rum Splash\/Cologne, and timing is truly of the essence...and there is a duality to that. To create a pure, clean hydrosol one must know exactly when to remove the heat as well as when to slowly \"paint\" with the heat. This skill comes with practice, practice that makes for a wholeness of character not seen or captured in other aftershaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo, What Does Boomtown Bay Rum Smell Like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePure ambrosia to the nose of the gunman, lawman or landlocked sailor of yore! 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 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. Without catching my breath, I moved onto the Leather...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeather\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePrimitive, Sensual, and so damn Wild West! Much like Bay Rum, not all Leather notes are the same. It's a fact, the scent of leather can be anywhere from Sweet, Powdery, Light, Dusty, Sharp, Woody, Smokey, Resinous \u0026amp; Flora. 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 sea salt was added not only for the relation to the theme of the fragrance but also because it worked so well with the Sicilian Cedrat. In combination they added a real zing and freshness. I think the black pepper can be included in that sentiment with the classic spiciness it delivers, which was a throwback to classic splashes. Sandalwood I just can't stay away from, but its use wasn't in vain for it truly grounded the entire blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo Who is this John Frum and why should I praise him? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell for one, this is probably one of the most epic modern musks available right now!

They observed the strange rituals, men in uniform marching with boom sticks, saluting each other, the construction of air traffic towers, the strange signal dance done with flags and flares towards the heavens...all this and more, which when done correctly would clearly lead to the gods raining cargo down from the heavens!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is highly probable that during these early recon missions, one of the pilots introduced himself to the natives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hey fellas, I'm John, John \u003cem\u003efrom\u003c\/em\u003e...New York, New Jersey, wherever...\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut all they heard in their shock and amazement was \"I am John Frum.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly, this strangely dressed man was a god. He may have even promised them that the USA was here now, and we were going to take care of them with lots of cargo. For a time, the natives did indeed receive many gifts from the soldiers, which reinforced their belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war ended the soldiers left the island, and this is when the cargo cult of John Frum was really born. 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. Cargo Cults like this have popped up all over the world, and oddly enough share the same belief system. A few even still exist! 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! It turns out the recipe I made was for 5-8 grown men, for a real kava kava ceremony! The reason why I am sharing this story with you is just to give you a little peek into what goes into my scent exploration and some of the really dumb stuff I do in an effort to deliver something really unique or authentic, something much more than a simple aftershave or soap, but a full-fledged experience...\u003cem\u003eeven if it kills me in the process. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo, after all that, I believe John Frum to be one of the finest, most unique modern musk scents out there.

But it does happen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhenever I delve into anything I go full tilt and many years back, when I began working on honing my skills as a perfumer, I ordered every book out there! Some books were even in French! And one, as I mentioned, was on Solid Perfumes... totally didn't read the subtitle when ordering it, all I read was \"Perfume\". When it arrived, uninterested, I tossed it to the side, only to stumble upon it once more, years later, while transferring books to a new shelf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd after the many requests from people over the years I did become more curious as to what all the hoopla was about in regards to the balm. So I put the tome on my bed and promised to take a quick gander at it before I fell asleep that night. That gander turned into a marathon session, a real page turner!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am embarrassed to say I was way wrong, my previous exposure to the stuff was very limited, and I really had no right making up my mind to write it off so quickly. Solid Perfumes \u0026amp; Colognes were born out of a rich history and are totally different animals when it comes to scent carriers. I was looking at them completely wrong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFact is, a Solid Cologne is a much more personal, intimate, and tactile creation when compared to say, an Eau De Parfum, Cologne, or Aftershave. It is not meant for everyone in the room to smell but rather those closest to you, as well as yourself. It isn't meant to live on the shelf in your bathroom, but more as a travel companion tucked in your backpack, briefcase, gym bag or carry on!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is part of the history!\u003c\/em\u003e Back in the day, solid perfumes were kept close, often on the body, hidden in the secret compartment of a ring, or worn close to the heart in a locket or metal ball called a Pomander. It was always there for a quick whiff or application to the hot spots or facial hair. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany men and women even carried scent boxes with them back in the day for inhaling while walking the fowl streets of medieval cities! Some of these boxes and compacts held multiple scents to be enjoyed one at a time or all at once or in different combinations. The sniffer could turn on or off the different scents of the accord...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat's just AWESOME! \u003c\/em\u003eLike playing your own composition on a musical instrument. Scent for scents sake!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven plague doctors got in on the act and kept solid perfume on themselves as well. Many now know that doctors of that time wore curious bird like masks, the beak of which was stuffed with aromatic herbs. These herbs were thought to prevent the spread of the plague, and they were also used to eclipse the stench coming off the patients. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat you may not know is these doctors also came outfitted with a cane that hid a secret flip lid in the handle.

An Egyptian  woman often wore what was called an unguent, or scent cone, containing the perfume, on the top of her head. Unlike modern solid perfumes, which are mixed with wax and oils, these ancient fragrances were blended with animal fat, and during the course of the hot day it would melt and anoint the wearer...\u003cem\u003ethat's pretty epic!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI could go on, but instead, I encourage you to do your own research.

Rather than dissolving absolutes, resins, and balsams into alcohol as I typically would for an alcohol based perfume, I carefully heated them, and along with the scent oils, blended them into the Beeswax, Shea Oil, Jojoba oil, Prickly Pear Oil matrix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI find that, as the perfumer, the scent stays truer longer to the original shape I was going for.

It is more like a harmonious alchemical marriage, than a quick burn and evaporate dry down effect. Very different energetics when compared, and don't misunderstand me, they are both wonderful, but again, unique from each other, and that's what I didn't understand before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven the mechanics of application are different.

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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It straddles the line between mature \u0026amp; modern...like old spice went to the spa...I like it, I really do.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIAmCDB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\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\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“It has that old school spicy vibe with a little more smoothness to it.

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.

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-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\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-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\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-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent.

All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the 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\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\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\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\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?

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?

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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis stuff had to be Extra Sport Strength...\u003cem\u003eand it is\u003c\/em\u003e.

But it does happen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhenever I delve into anything I go full tilt and many years back, when I began working on honing my skills as a perfumer, I ordered every book out there! Some books were even in French! And one, as I mentioned, was on Solid Perfumes... totally didn't read the subtitle when ordering it, all I read was \"Perfume\". When it arrived, uninterested, I tossed it to the side, only to stumble upon it once more, years later, while transferring books to a new shelf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd after the many requests from people over the years I did become more curious as to what all the hoopla was about in regards to the balm.

That gander turned into a marathon session, a real page turner!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am embarrassed to say I was way wrong, my previous exposure to the stuff was very limited, and I really had no right making up my mind to write it off so quickly.

I was looking at them completely wrong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFact is, a Solid Cologne is a much more personal, intimate, and tactile creation when compared to say, an Eau De Parfum, Cologne, or Aftershave. It is not meant for everyone in the room to smell but rather those closest to you, as well as yourself. It isn't meant to live on the shelf in your bathroom, but more as a travel companion tucked in your backpack, briefcase, gym bag or carry on!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is part of the history!\u003c\/em\u003e Back in the day, solid perfumes were kept close, often on the body, hidden in the secret compartment of a ring, or worn close to the heart in a locket or metal ball called a Pomander. It was always there for a quick whiff or application to the hot spots or facial hair. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany men and women even carried scent boxes with them back in the day for inhaling while walking the fowl streets of medieval cities! Some of these boxes and compacts held multiple scents to be enjoyed one at a time or all at once or in different combinations. The sniffer could turn on or off the different scents of the accord...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat's just AWESOME! \u003c\/em\u003eLike playing your own composition on a musical instrument. Scent for scents sake!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven plague doctors got in on the act and kept solid perfume on themselves as well. Many now know that doctors of that time wore curious bird like masks, the beak of which was stuffed with aromatic herbs. These herbs were thought to prevent the spread of the plague, and they were also used to eclipse the stench coming off the patients. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat you may not know is these doctors also came outfitted with a cane that hid a secret flip lid in the handle.

An Egyptian  woman often wore what was called an unguent, or scent cone, containing the perfume, on the top of her head. Unlike modern solid perfumes, which are mixed with wax and oils, these ancient fragrances were blended with animal fat, and during the course of the hot day it would melt and anoint the wearer...\u003cem\u003ethat's pretty epic!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI could go on, but instead, I encourage you to do your own research.

Rather than dissolving absolutes, resins, and balsams into alcohol as I typically would for an alcohol based perfume, I carefully heated them, and along with the scent oils, blended them into the Beeswax, Shea Oil, Jojoba oil, Prickly Pear Oil matrix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI find that, as the perfumer, the scent stays truer longer to the original shape I was going for.

Base notes will last much, much longer as they mix and mingle more organically with your own body chemistry and natural oils seamlessly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolid Cologne is a total and complete departure from the chemical reaction one experiences with an alcohol based product. It is more like a harmonious alchemical marriage, than a quick burn and evaporate dry down effect. Very different energetics when compared, and don't misunderstand me, they are both wonderful, but again, unique from each other, and that's what I didn't understand before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven the mechanics of application are different. Apply it once or revisit it many times during the day as a pick me up, no one will even notice when you do.
