Adopted Acres Mint Cherry Barbershop: shave soap & aftershave

Scent Description

Doug Layne at Adopted Acres has a flare for weaving complex collections of scent notes into cohesive and well-balanced fragrances with exquisite depth. From the name alone, one would expect Mint Cherry Barbershop to be a farely straightforward affair, primarily cherry and mint, and possibly evoking images of your favorite tub of ice cream. However the scent is anything but simple, with a rich, floral and fruity bouqet which is lush, boozy, and ethereal, but remains masculine and inviting. For those who enjoy sweeter scents, it's a truly inspired take on the classic barbershop genre which is a great daytime fragrance for almost any occassion.

About Adopted Acres

Doug is a wet shaving fanatic who dreamed of making his own soaps and splashes. The fragrances are all original and in addition to Cara the couple's five children help run the show.
