Colognes Hand Made in Brooklyn, New York.

Burning Barbershop - A Fire broke out int the Curling Bros barbershop in Westlake, N.Y. in 1891. All the shaving tonics with their spearmint, line, vanilla & lavender burned. A charred bottle was found half full. It smelled like this.

$ - An elegant blend of leather, tobacco, tonka bean, tuberrose & musk. So you smell like you just left the smoking room on La Place de Vendome.

Bear Trapper - Modified from a 16th century Russian Alchemists potion used to attract bears. A blend of cedarwood, tarragon, & Japanese yuzu complimented by leather notes and mandarin peel. Theirs attracts other beasts.

Cowboy Grass - A scent of wild grasses and flowering herbs. Earthy & slightly smokey. Pure Haitian vetiver, white thyme, & prairie sage brush evoke the wild American west. Perfect for robbing banks on horseback.
