2oz Beard Balm
SCENT: Charred cedarwood, dark fruit, hints of incense
GENRE: Smokey, masculine, incense
INSPIRATION: A ritualized method of execution and sacrifice to Odin, The Blood Eagle was explained in detail in late skaldic poetry. While its authenticity is debated even to this day, the horrific sacrifice of severing the rib cage in the back and displaying the lungs like an eagle's wings was briefly seen in the TV series "Vikings". With such a heathen display, I started with a darkened base of black currant, then carefully blended the scent of cedarwood and subtle hints of smokey incense to complete this very ritualistic, sacrificial dark scent.
INGREDIENTS: Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, BTMS (derived from rapeseed oil), Fragrance/Essential Oil blend
