Moon Soaps Astoria Aftershave Splash 118ml

The Asset Brief

Astoria is a complex aquatic-woodsy composition designed as a nurturing and repairing skin food. The fragrance captures the experience of standing in a Douglas Fir forest on the Oregon coast—where a cool, brisk breeze crosses the water. This is recovery protocol delivered as olfactory narrative.

Fragrance Profile

Top Notes: Cypress and Fir deliver immediate evergreen crispness, establishing the coastal forest character.

Heart Notes: Oakmoss, Balsam, Sage, and Eucalyptus create the core woody body, with Blue Spruce and White Birch adding structural depth.

Base Notes: Mint provides a characteristic menthol kiss whilst Sweet Osmanthus settles over an aquatic accord, grounding the composition with cool, bracing freshness.

Recovery Specification

The alcohol-based formula contains menthol, aloe, squalane oil, green tea extract, and marshmallow root. These constituents work in concert to soothe post-shave skin, close pores, and provide hydration and antimicrobial protection. The menthol imparts a controlled cooling sensation whilst the botanical extracts support skin recovery and barrier function.
