Razorock Nomad: shave soap & aftershave

Scent Description

If Nomad were a sauce, it would be a curry. The scent notes are a spicy blend of herbs, flowers, and spices, glazed with sweet Orange and Bergamot, and underpinned by woods, vetiver, and Patchouli. The overall effect is an exotic mélange which has the complexity of a Fougere and maintains a citrusy freshness, but evokes visions of Middle Eastern sands. As it dries down, the woody notes come to the fore, but it still retains a fruity and sweet halo. Suitable for most almost any setting or occasion.

Scent Notes

Top Notes: Coriander, Orange Blossom, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Lavender, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Ginger, Pepper, Cumin
Base Notes: Patchouli, Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, Sandalwood

About Razorock

Razorock was founded in Canada by Joseph Abbatangelo, who in 2009 enlisted his uncle, Michael Luorio, to take a trip to Tuscany in search of alum stones for Joseph's father-in-law, a retired Italian barber. After falling in love with all things Wet Shaving, they launched the Razorock brand which has grown into a complete product line spanning soaps, aftershaves, razors, and accessories. The brand is known for quality at an affordable price, with many of its products sourced from local Italian artisans. One early partnership was with the Tcheon Fung Sin Soap Company, founded by a Chinese immigrant to Italy in 1945, which produces many of its soaps and aftershaves.

Scent Description

The spice blend is not fully broken down, but what comes through suggests cinnamon, ginger, and perhaps a faint touch of nutmeg. These spices are handled with restraint. They are not loud, sweet, or culinary in an obvious way. Rather than weighing the fragrance down, they give it freshness and vitality. Bergamot provides an important lift, acting almost like a bright foil against the spice, allowing the composition to sparkle at the edges.
