Gentleman's Nod Damascus Shaving Soap (5oz)

Sale price£26.95

When Sean, the founder of Carbon Shaving, approached Gentleman's Nod about collaborating on a fragrance, Damascus kept coming up. As a designer of heirloom quality razors, Sean had utilised the modern form of Damascus steel in some of his creations. With the popularity of Gentleman's Nod's 'origin' series, like Musashi, the ancient city of Damascus also beckoned. The pair decided to develop this new original fragrance as an homage to the famous steel, the city and its storied markets. The colours, design, and illustrations serve to highlight the beauty and history of Damascus steel, while the fragrance itself transports the wearer to the ancient city and its markets.

Introducing Damascus No.1, an elegant and sensual ambrée both woody and spicy created by Master Perfumer Claude Dir. A trio of spices (black pepper, cardamom, and saffron) dance with the creamy sweetness of fig for a warm and sensual open. This spiced open has a honeyed hay subtlety with just a hint of leather and smoke. The honeyed thread persists and leads seamlessly into an exotic heart where the spices whirl around with complex florals and dried fruits (orris, davana, rose de grasse). Damascus dries down to a warm, sensual, and elegant finish. The composition is nothing short of magical in its interplay as an ambrée both woody and spicy. The actual expression is a masterfully executed composition of woods, spices, musk, leather and smoke.
