Ariana & Evans Agarwood Shaving Cream 157ml

A high-value asset for the operative commanding discerning sensory appreciation and refined authority. Agarwood—a composition inspired by the iconic Tom Ford formulation—constructs its identity as a modern oud fragrance, capturing the allure of agarwood (oud) in a balanced, technically accomplished construction.

Fragrance Profile

Top Notes: Warm cardamom and tonka bean establish an immediate sense of oriental sophistication, signalling the composition's roots in traditional luxury fragrance territory.

Heart Notes: Rich agarwood (oud) introduces the fragrance's signature character—a smoky, complex, slightly animalic depth that distinguishes agarwood fragrances from conventional masculine compositions. Notes of rosewood, teak wood and Chinese pepper create a layered woody character of considerable complexity and refinement.

Base Notes: Sandalwood and amber provide a smooth, creamy finish that prevents the composition's oud character from becoming austere or overly aggressive. The base ensures extended longevity and refined sensory experience throughout the operational day.

Performance & Base

Formulated in Ariana & Evans' K2E (Kokum to Emu) base—a tallow-based formula engineered for exceptional slickness and substantial cushion. The soap generates a dense, creamy lather with remarkable glide and protective qualities throughout extended operational requirements. Kokum butter, shea butter and emu oil ensure optimal lather consistency and stability, maintaining the soap's ability to perform reliably on all facial architectures.

Recovery

Post-shave, skin remains significantly conditioned and comfortable. The K2E base's carefully selected emollients—including hyaluronic acid, avocado oil, castor oil and colloidal oatmeal—deliver sustained hydration and protective barrier restoration. The fragrance's warm, woody character ensures extended olfactory presence without aggressive projection, making this asset suitable for daily operational use and particularly valued by operatives commanding refined taste.

Technical Specifications

Weight: 157ml / 157g. Volume: 5.3 oz. Tallow-based K2E formula. Generously portioned for extended utility. Inspired by Tom Ford's Oud Wood fragrance architecture.
