  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth – Armonía

Wonderful Armonía shave tonight. Great scent and slick base, what's not to love‽

Varen Frag++

I get a hit of "spice" when I spray it on which seems to go away after a minute. Have you noticed anything like that? I don't get it with the soap or aftershave.

I will investigate tonight!

Nope, I'm getting a face full of bright resin/sap. Like a freshly cut Christmas tree. But my nose isn't very refined

Could be the same thing we're smelling. I'm even less refined!
