Spring Florals Special

I have been waiting for months to do this.. it is the first day of spring and I have florals! These are all specially priced for the gentlemen on the forums at $4.99 for a 4 oz tub of shaving soap. They are located all the way down at the very bottom of my shaving soaps page.. http://www.bear-haven.com/Page3.html so they might take some work to get to, but the price should make it worthwhile...

Some of these are one time deals, some of these are regular fragrances. Included in the fragrances are Victorian Violets, Bluebonnets & Wildflowers, Chypre Rose, Honeysuckle, Lilac & Lavender, Sandalwood Rose, Lily of the Valley, Rain Orchid, Heather & Hyacinth and Southern Garden which is a blend of Peony, Wisteria and Lilac. The florals that are not standard fragrances for me will be available until sold out only.... or until next spring... :cool:

Happy Spring Shaving!

Gary (The Scent Fairy) did a tutorial on fragrances.. http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=831

This is what he says about Chypre... Our first group is one called Chypre (pronounced sheep-er), named after the island of Cyprus. The originator of this fragrance was the famed Francois Coty who introduced the public to it in 1919. This fragrance was a departure from the sweet ones that were the norm, at the time, and the incense smelling Orientals. Heavy, dry in character, with occasional leather notes, the Chypres used an innovative base composed of Oakmoss, Patchouli, Bergamot, Labdanum, and Sandalwood. The women’s versions sometimes used Rose and Cassie to achieve floral notes. Tobacco Absolute may be added for a smokier note, as in Cigar Aficionado Cologne. Some of the other Chypres in this group are Aramis, one of my personal favorites, Salvador Dali, and Dunhill. The heaviness can be lifted by the addition of citrus notes like Lemon, Lime, or Verbena.

The Chypre Rose is a Rose with Chypre accents.. it is quite nice, but not a simple rose.. it is more of a manly rose...

hth....

Sue,

Thank you. I'm more of a purist. Doesn't sound like this one is for me...although the Rain Orchid is sounding nice! Maybe I'll order tomorrow afternoon after I wake up!

The ones that are named for just the flower are going to be more to your liking then.. I didn't mix anything at all into those... :p
