Scent Description
Aurelius' main accords are citrus and wood, which are gently blended to create a delicate bouquet which is soft, clean and masculine. The juicy and fresh top notes of grapefruit and lemon are given depth with the additions of cassis (blackcurrant) and lily of the valley, and punctuated by an intriguing low-key spiciness from cardamom, saffron, and frankincense. As it dries down, a mellow blend of citrus and wood come to the fore. The scent strength is low, making the overall effect subtle, which is perfect for the gentlemen who exhibits refinement, restraint, and sophistication.

Base Description
The Elysian soap base is defined by its premium, and at times, unique ingredients. Soap maker Shannon Constantine brings an educated and experienced eye to her formulation with the clear goal of delivering a base which is both slick and nourishing. The core elements are tallow, shea butter, glycerin, castor oil and coconut oil. Some ingredients not typically found include Kaolin Clay, which improves glide, exfoliates, aids oil absorption and boosts creaminess, and Tussah Silk, which is velvety and improves post-shave feel. A fairly thirsty soap, it produces a creamy lather, with a high degree of structure, which has high density, is extremely slick, strong staiblity, and above average cushion.

The Aftershave 🔬 Deep Research report
Scent Description
Aurelius' main accords are citrus and wood, which are gently blended to create a delicate bouquet which is soft, clean and masculine.

Elysian's aftershaves contain a number of beneficial skin foods including Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid, Marshmallow Root, Almond Oil, and Vitamin E. While the Marshmallow Root aids in slickness and hydration, as do the Almond Oil and Vitamin E, the presence of oil is slighly more noticeable than average in the post-application feel.
