Soaps & Creams

After the Rain was the second scent we ever released and is very near to our hearts. Like a walk through a forest after a spring shower with notes of wet pine, muted lavender, cedar, and white pepper. BASE: Milksteak is my tongue-in-cheek name for the culmination of all of my soap crafting experience to date. While the name may be whimsical, it was an incredibly difficult decision to deprecate Bison and Icarus - one I would not make without full confidence that I was releasing not only the best soap base I have ever developed, but one of the finest soap bases ever created. Over three years of customer feedback, research, theory crafting and, of course, love, went into this soap base. I focused on ease of use (softer than Icarus), slickness, and post-shave - all the hallmarks of a great soap.

Auryn tells the neverending story. It is the answer to the question "where does a circle begin?" Himalayan cedar, palo santo, and fern ground the scent in beautiful woods. Neroli provides a kiss of florals, along with the soft, fruity facets of bergamot and black currant. Sea salt provides an enveloping anchor that binds the scent together. Dream your dreams, overcome the despair of the swamp of sadness, obliterate the nothing, and proudly proclaim "YEAAHHHHHHH" from the back of your luck dragon. This scent is dedicated to Artax.

This one's warm and masculine, inspired by hot tea. Warm, ambery tea with clary sage, cardamom, vanilla, oak, etc. It's nice and not so heavy that it won't transition into warmer seasons. Also it doesn't really smell like tea, it was inspired by hot tea. Confusing description? It's Chaotic Neutral.

There is a stark difference between spring and summer, and Contemplation falls squarely in summer. In spring, the flowers are in bloom and pollen is in the air, but by the time that July rolls around, the plants put off a different aroma. There is a green scent in the air: of citrus in a slowly ripening state while the vegetation underfoot is photosynthesizing in overdrive, drinking the in the sun. There is no harvest and there is no bloom: this summer day is still, quiet and contemplative with nothing on the to-do list other than simply enjoy it.

There is something about a well-rounded man. Someone who is intelligent enough to lead, but smart enough to listen. Someone who can adeptly handle any situation and feel just as comfortable wearing a crisp suit at the head of a room or well-worn weekend casual with friends, family and possibly new adventure. The well-rounded, versatile scent is much like the man who wears it. Similar to how all of these qualities converge together, Declaration Grooming and Maggard Razors came together to create Declaration’s first retailer-exclusive scent, aptly named Convergence in lieu of this year's convergence of wetshavers at the annual Maggard Meetup. It contains classic notes that have stood the tests of time and will for many years to come, with suede leather, amber and cognac as stars shining brightly upon a base of oakmoss, rosewood, patchouli and frangipani.

"Cuir et Épices" is the first scent exclusive to our new premium soap base. It is a blend of leather, tobacco flower, cedar, anise, oakmoss, and patchouli. This scent is unique unto itself and somewhat difficult to describe. The beta feedback was all over the place, but we think the closest to capturing the scent was: " This is what I imagine John Wayne's kitchen smelling like - soft leather, vaguely appley, with a twist of some kind of baking spice. " However, this is absolutely not a gourmand scent, so don't let the "appley" or "baking spice" fool you. We would rate this scent as neutral tending toward masculine.

Cygnus X-1 is sophisticated and fun at the same time. It evokes walking on a sunny day in the city, passing people dressed up for work. You could be on your way to work or on your way to the club and never have to worry about smelling out of place. Suitable for all seasons/occasions. This one's a dupe, not an original scent, of a scent by a NY based perfume house named after a specific street in NYC.

In computing, a daemon is a program that waits in the background for an event to occur before fulfilling its task. This Daemon's only task is making you smell inoffensively good.

Darkfall is a spicy oriental designed to capture the spirit of fall in the rural south. Agarwood, amber, and benzoin provide a deep, warm base for the cinnamon and clove top notes. Birch tar adds a slight smokiness that represents the ever-present smell of burning leaves that heralds the arrival of fall in Georgia.

Dirtyver is the next step in the evolution (or devolution, depending on your perspective) of Marshlands, our unapologetically vetiver scent. This is not the type of vetiver that you would take home to meet your parents. This is the type of vetiver that will take you out, show you things you’ve never seen, and introduce you to debauchery found only in your wildest imaginings.

Epiphenomenon is a big word that essentially means 'a secondary effect or byproduct.' After the demise of Bandwagon I didn't set out to create another 'barbershop' - a completely subjective, ill-defined faux genre that led to multiple existential crises on the subjectivity of scent and precisely how untrustworthy our noses can be. I had no plans to develop nor release another. However, the stars aligned, and while pursuing something far from the softly masculine, powdery scent that grew into Epiphenomenon...Epiphenomenon was born. It's powdery, inoffensive, and slots straight into my personal conception of 'barbershop.'

'Fake Yellow Light' is from my favorite song from my favorite album and is one of my favorite scents to date. Definitely, in my opinion, the warmest scent I've released (I've been waiting to release this one until my bones were cold and here we are, Michigan). It's heavy leather forward off the puck with a nutty base and some nice warm amber and spices in between (this passed all of our skin/irritation tests and is fragranced at safe levels but, as always, if you experience any irritation please discontinue use). The splash is sweeter/nuttier and dries down to lots of leather. Y'all get notes for this one (in no particular order): Leather, tobacco, amber, chestnut, almond, chai, cognac, walnut, vanilla.

In the mid-18th century there lived a thoroughbred racehorse, presumably named after a particularly famous (or infamous) king. Were you to ask anyone on the street what they think of when they hear that horse's name, I would wager that they would immediately think of the king, not the horse. That particular king is, at least at present, most remembered for a particularly bloody-handed decision well known as the Massacre of the Innocents . While this particular name may be off-putting, the scent is magnificent - you might even call it royal. Top notes: cinnamon and pepper wood. Heart: osmanthus, tobacco leaf, labdanum and incense. Base: vanilla, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, iso e super, cypriol and musk. BASE: Milksteak is my tongue-in-cheek name for the culmination of all of my soap crafting experience to date.

Living up to its name, Mimic morphs from an amorphous form into a shave soap/aftershave inspired by Beau de Jour by Tom Ford. Now, I don’t speak French, but I initially thought it meant ‘man of the day’ and I had a Dumb and Dumber joke all teed up for this release: "What's the beau de jour?" "It's the man of the day." "That sounds good. I'll have that." Turns out it means "beauty of the day,” which, alright. It works because it's beautiful scent. This scent is traditionally masculine and has a classic barbershop tone, perfect for any time that will leave you feeling like the ‘man of the day.’ Notes: Lavender, Oakmoss, Rosemary, Mint, Basil, Geranium, Patchouli and Amber.

Time to jump into the (not so) way back machine and revisit the first scent I ever developed! Original is a blend of sandalwood and bergamot. When I was just starting L&L (and had never made a scent before), it was imperative that I started off with a scent that was simple, clean, and safe. While many budding scent crafters would likely turn to a fragrance wheel, I drew my inspiration from the dignified Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This is my take on a scent that I think would be appropriate for the bridge of the Enterprise. It is crisp yet soft, present yet subdued. The kind of scent a seasoned diplomat would wear to an important negotiation. Simple. Safe. Picard.

You'll greet this scent with arms wide open. No longer will you have to ask yourself existential questions like "what's this life for?" You will break free from your own prison. You may even be taken higher in life, love, and happiness, though there's no guarantee of blind men regaining sight nor of golden streets.

Henry Shaw is responsible for Tower Grove Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis. In that garden, flowers and plants from the Far East coexist to species native to the Saint Louis area. In this scent, reflective of Shaw's oasis in South City, the uniquely distinct smell of yuzu citrus, enveloping the unmistakably recognizable smell of rose and the dry, woody scent of patchouli come together so all three work together in unison to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Milksteak is my tongue-in-cheek name for the culmination of all of my soap crafting experience to date. While the name may be whimsical, it was an incredibly difficult decision to deprecate Bison and Icarus - one I would not make without full confidence that I was releasing not only the best soap base I have ever developed, but one of the finest soap bases ever created. Over three years of customer feedback, research, theory crafting and, of course, love, went into this soap base. I focused on ease of use (softer than Icarus), slickness, and post-shave - all the hallmarks of a great soap.
