Why it belongs in your shave ritual

• Refreshing + toning finish after shaving

• Lightweight, fast-evaporating feel (clean, non-greasy)

• Herbal core with woody, balsamic, and oriental depth

• Alcohol concentration: 65% v/v (from basil mother tincture + natural essences)

Aroma profile

Herbal at the opening settling into woody and balsamic warmth from Sandalwood and Patchouli, with an oriental, relaxing persistence from the fragrance accord.

Formula

• Distilled water

• Sandalwood essential oil (Santalum album)

• Patchouli essential oil (Pogostemon cablin)

• Fragrance

Designed as a refreshing, toning post-shave lotion. Basil has antiseptic, purifying, and stimulating properties; sandalwood is calming and softening; patchouli provides a relaxing effect with a prolonged aromatic finish.
