Moon Soaps Astoria Aftershave Balm 118ml

The Asset Brief

The Astoria Aftershave Balm represents the premium recovery protocol—a moisturising alternative to the splash that provides extended skin conditioning alongside the same sophisticated fragrance architecture. This is recovery engineered for those who require additional hydration and barrier support after the shave.

Fragrance Profile

Top Notes: Cypress and Fir establish the evergreen forest opening with immediate crispness.

Heart Notes: Oakmoss, Balsam, Sage, and Eucalyptus create the core woody composition, supported by Blue Spruce and White Birch for structural depth.

Base Notes: Mint provides the characteristic menthol sensation whilst Sweet Osmanthus settles over an aquatic accord, maintaining the distinctive coastal forest character throughout the post-shave period.

Recovery Specification

The balm formulation provides enhanced moisturisation compared to splash alternatives. The base contains hydrating compounds and skin-conditioning oils that support barrier function whilst the fragrance component mirrors the splash composition. Application is controlled and efficient—a small amount distributes evenly across the face, providing immediate comfort and lasting hydration without greasy residue.
