Week (Month?) in Review #8

My apologies to anyone who might have missed blog posts over the last two weeks. The end of spring semester and start of spring cold and allergy season came together and threw us off for a little bit. All packages have been shipped within one business day, and new products have been listed, but blog posting has suffered.

The good news is, that leaves plenty of new things to review. Perhaps a 'month in review' is a better idea.

I had already introduced the aftershaves in the last week in review, but want to update to say that they are now available in the shop in every scent, including two new ones - Fatherly Gentleman and English Gentleman. English Gentleman is a scent we've been working on for a good while, and we've finally come up with a blend we really enjoy. It's a warm combination of black tea, tobacco, and cherry hardwood. Look for English Gentleman to join the rest of our family of fragrances, with shave and body soaps coming soon.

Fatherly Gentleman is a new limited-edition scent. When it's gone, it's gone. The scent of Fatherly Gentleman is light and clean, featuring traditional men's vetiver and amber with hints of smoke and spicy florals. In addition to being available as an aftershave, we've also put together some special Fatherly Gentleman soap and solid cologne sets. For just $10 you get an attractively packaged set that includes a 4-4.5 oz bar of bath soap for average skin, and a 0.5 oz tin of solid cologne, both in the Fatherly Gentleman scent.

In addition to these new fragrances, we've started a whole new line of scents - Yoga Scents. These are unisex fragrances that are a little more herbal than our gentleman's line, and focus on the considered therapeutic and aroma-therapeutic properties of the herbs and essential oils contained. The first two soaps to be finished production and curing are virhabhadrasana and natarajasana. Virhabhadrasana, the name for Warrior Pose, is a balancing and antiseptic scent, featuring tea tree essential oil and crushed rosemary. Natarajasana, the name for Lord of the Dance pose, is an energizing and uplifting fragrance, created with essential oils of grapefruit, bergamot, and lime.
