The making

Made the slow way

The fragrance is built first, macerated for four weeks, then chilled, filtered and rested for six before it is blended into the wash. Every box is assembled by hand in England, and because the hands are few, the batches stay at 1,000.

The Fragrance

Deep, woody, reserved

Black Oud opens with cardamom and black pepper, a sharp, clean lift that turns warm within the hour. At its centre, oud and sandalwood: a resin formed over years in the Aquilaria tree, steadied by wood. It settles into dark vanilla and amber, the warmth that stays. Noticed at close range. Present across a room, never loud.

The Beard Shampoo

Built for the beard and the hair above it

A wash for the beard and the hair above it. Coconut- and sugar-derived cleansers lift the day without stripping the hair's own oils; pro-vitamin B5 leaves it soft and easy to comb. Lather, rinse, and the composition stays in the beard after the water has gone.

In their words

Questions

Before you choose

Can I use it on my hair?

Yes. It is built for the beard and works on the hair above it.

How often?

Daily, or as often as you wash. It will not strip the hair's own oils.

Does it leave a scent?

Quietly. The composition stays in the beard after rinsing, so the oil and the balm build on it rather than starting from nothing.

Do I need a conditioner?

No. The shampoo leaves the hair soft and the beard oil that follows is the conditioner.

Is it vegan?

Yes. Vegan and cruelty-free, no parabens, no silicones.
