Aqua D/G
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements (PAA) is the brainchild of Eric Hodges, who's public persona uses the name Douglas Smythe, and his partner Frances Towle. The business began in 2013 and was rebranded as PAA in 2015. The brand is one of the most well-known and popular in the wet shaving community, and is known for innovative, quirky themes and designs which are often based on science fiction. In addition to whimsical and visually stunning artwork, the products are often accompanied by narratives which describe the origins of the product, how it was developed, or simply tell a story. In addition to soaps and fragrances, PAA is famous for its accessories, which include razors, brushes, scuttles, alum blocks, balms, razor blades, and apparel, with many of its razors and brushes prized for their performance and collectability.
Scent Description
Based on the iconic Aqua di Gio by Armani, Aqua D/G is a gentle, floral, aquatic, scent that sits somewhere between an Oriental and a Fresh scent with nuances of a Chypre due to its bright citrusy top notes. Its seaside vibe combined with lemony orange make it very fresh. Aqua D/G is an easy scent to wear that would be suitable in almost any setting and feels particularly appropriate for warmer climes. The scent strength is on the mild side, as is the longevity, but for a smooth, sophisticated scent for the modern gentleman it's a perfect choice.
