Hi Everyone!

Just a heads up that we now have soap samples (sorry, no aftershave or EdP samples) available on our site! They're available right HERE!

As a refresher, here's the description:

The opulence of the 1920s was of such staggering magnitude that it forced a cultural shift in the United States not seen again for another four decades. Men wore tuxedos and drove fast cars, women smoked and drank and danced. Fortunes were made and lost nearly overnight, and cultural tensions abounded between new money and old and haves and have-nots.

Rich tobacco smoke perfumed the air, laced with plush fragrances wafted not only from the windows of gilded mansions but from the cigarettes and cigars themselves, as if their own natural aromas were somehow insufficient to satisfy America's appetites for excess and luxury.

But the nation's hunger for decadence was doomed to rot from the inside out, simultaneously fueled and sabotaged by the intricacies of class warfare, the existential panic inspired by the nouveau riche in wealthy plutocrat onlookers. East Egg captures this feeling of opulence on the precipice, of fortunes so volatile that they could be lost in the blink of an eye. Notes of nutmeg, lemon, bergamot, and clary sage open with scintillating sparkle, the flash of glittering affluence, and descend to a rich floral heart of ylang ylang, geranium, and violet. A base of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla buttresses the core, classic cigarette perfume of vetiver and vanilla, used for a decade to perfume both cigarette cases and their contents, and forever emblematic of America's most torrid century. Rich and sumptuous, East Egg is the distillation of Daisy Buchanan and her husband Tom, their bourgeois ways and careless luxuries carefully concealing the darkness that lies beneath.

This is very much an old-school powdery leather floral, strongly reminscent of the Roaring 20s, and was partly inspired by some of the classic fragrances from the period, including the cigarette-perfume-turned-personal-fragrance Habanita. Really looking forward to hearing what you guys think!
