Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio

A new artiste, and a dupe of Killian Dark Lord. The scent is Dark Lord adjacent - not as strong and missing a tad bit of depth, but it's still worth smelling.

Body shop maca and aloe Vera cream.

Pretty bang average and only sticking it here as it's the tub I'm trying to kill. Not sure how I'd even post it out successfully

Moon Soaps - Union - A fresh barbershop and I think one of the better β€œbarbershop” scents available
