Doppelganger Black Label
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
Like many of its scents, PAA takes a popular fragrance and amps up its key notes making it bigger and louder. The same is true for Doppleganger Black Label, based on the iconic and wildly successful Christian Dior Sauvage. The key notes are Pink Pepper and Cedar, and they're so strong that it creates the impression of pencil shavings. An intensely dry scent, which is given depth with ambroxan, patchouli, lavendar and geranium, Dopppelganger Black Label is masculine and strong, but also intensely woody, which as it dries down becomes only more woody. If woods are your thing, look no further.
