Santa Paula – Aftershave Splash

Santa Paula

I love it. It’s probably my favourite so far. The first 30 seconds I almost smell tomato plants, the freshest, greenest smell ever, which turns into oranges, which turns into a more woody smell. I’m going to need to get it in the cologne now.

no synthetic fragrances, 100% essential oils, non woody

I have been a customer of Chiseled Face aftershave for years. I have ordered many and it looks like I will be sticking with Santa Paula. First, I stay away from synthetic fragrances when I can due to bad skin reactions to some. Santa Paula is 100 % essential oils and that is important to me. Second , this is about the only essential oil fragrance that is not woody or bay rum . The cloves in the bay rum drown out the cooling of the menthol and that aftershave just feels too "hot" to me. In the morning after a shave I prefer a citrus scent and I have gone away from the many woody aftershaves that Ron makes. Especially in the warmer months if I'm getting cooling menthol I want refreshing citrus and not dark woods. I would encourage Ron to make another 100% essential oil aftershave that incorporates lime , lemon , or some other "bright" essential oil that you can start your day with.

Heaven in a bottle

I have very sensitive skin and had zero irritation. The feel is amazing, and the scent is pure heaven. Very refined scent.
