OUR PHILOSOPHY


at ariana&evans, we exist to highlight your individuality. we honor tradition, but also honor all the things that make us so beautifully different. our creations reflect a blend of cultures and experiences.

a signature scent is more than fragrance, it is identity. it speaks to who you are, who you are becoming, and manifests who you want to be. we know that scent is deeply personal, and it should feel entirely your own. every parfum and grooming product is crafted by hand in small batches, without being defined by gender or age. each product is made with intention and care. ariana&evans is made for everyone.

our purpose is simple, to help you discover your signature you.

SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT. IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

at ariana&evans, sustainability is part of who we are. in 2026, we proudly achieved our goal of becoming an eco-friendly brand, transitioning our fragrances, shaving soaps and aftershaves to recyclable glass packaging with metal caps, designed to be reused long after the product is finished.

we recycle and reuse packaging materials whenever possible and continue looking for better ways to reduce our environmental impact. we believe luxury and responsibility should go hand in hand.

crafted with care, inside and out.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

at ariana&evans, community has always been at the heart of what we do. from supporting charitable initiatives like the never alone project to bringing people together through events like lathered, we believe in giving back to the community that has given us so much.

we're more than a brand. we're a family, and we believe in making a positive difference beyond the products we create.

A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS NOW

In 2026, ariana&evans entered a new chapter, evolving from a globally recognized artisan soap maker into an eco-friendly, affordable luxury brand for everyone.

Could we charge more? Sure. But that’s not where we came from. Our beginnings were humble. We started as hobbyists, just like many of you, and we’ll always remain connected to the community that got us here. 

While the industry increasingly moves toward outsourcing, we still make our products ourselves, by hand, at our facility in Ansonia, Connecticut. That isn’t going to change. We’ve spent years developing our formulas, refining our processes and obsessing over the smallest details. We simply won’t put that responsibility in someone else’s hands. Peter literally tests each batch himself. If it carries the ariana&evans name, we want to know exactly how it was made and who made it.

Our shaving soaps are among the very best available today, including the Daniele Maullu Collection, Ultima 2, Barbiere di Famiglia, and our shaving creams.

Our fragrance collection, now headed by Thalia, continues to grow and gain recognition for its originality, creativity and performance.

We’re a family brand that believes everybody should be able to experience luxury at an affordable price.

OUR DANIELE MAULLU LUXURY COLLECTION

quite possibly the finest grooming products ever made.

LATHERED EXPO

LATHERED is the first event of its kind to serve as an intersection of indie perfumery, and traditional grooming. We have so much respect and admiration for both communities, so we thought an event to serve as a crossover of both art forms would be incredible.

Attendees had the opportunity to discover unique fragrances, premium grooming products, and meet the makers behind some incredible brands. We hosted over 15 independent artisans and 200 guests.

Adding to the experience, renowned Italian master barber Daniele Maullu traveled from Rome to offer traditional classic straight razor shaves, showcasing the timeless artistry of classic Italian barbering. We're planning to do it again in 2027.

GET TO KNOW US

Family business manufacturing shaving soap in Connecticut

OUR STORY - THE AMERICAN DREAM

We are a small, family-owned business based in Ansonia, Connecticut. Like many family-run ventures, we began at home making soaps in our small kitchen.

As a wet shaving hobbyist, I knew exactly what kind of soaps I liked and set out to create something worthy of consideration. What began as a side project to help supplement our income and support our daughter’s education quickly gained unexpected momentum.

Then COVID hit.

At 57, after losing my job of 17 years, I found myself without work and with few options—nobody was hiring. We made a difficult but clear decision: to go all in on the business. This would be our full-time livelihood.

At the time, I had been developing a new shaving soap base called Kaizen—a Japanese word meaning continuous improvement. Just three weeks after being laid off, we released Kaizen with little more than hope and a prayer. That release changed our lives.

Today, we’ve grown far beyond our kitchen. We operate in the heart of Ansonia, in a dedicated facility that reflects how far we’ve come—and how much farther we plan to go. Our journey is proof that when one door closes, another opens if you’re willing to walk through it.

Beyond shaving products, Ariana & Evans has grown into a serious presence in the niche fragrance market. Our fragrances are more than just scents, they are personal stories, inspired by life experiences and travels around the world. Each fragrance is crafted in-house, reflecting a journey of discovery, culture, and passion.

Leading this creative evolution is my daughter, Thalia, whose talent and vision continue to push our fragrance line forward. Together, as a family, we create bold, original compositions that honor our roots while embracing the wider world.

At Ariana & Evans, we don’t just make products, we craft experiences shaped by the American Dream, dedication, and the spirit of exploration.

Thank you for your support in us, our family business & products.

Thalia, Evelyn & Peter

MEET THE FAMILY BEHIND A&E

Thalia has joined us in running the family business and has left an indelible mark in such a short period of time. She overseas all projects and ensures they fit within our brand identity. Additionally, she is now responsible for creating and growing our fragrance sector.

Evelyn does it all. However, her main role is running the shipping department, managing inventory, as well as special projects such as our very successful events at our showroom.

Peter was initially a wetshaving hobbyist like most of you. He began experimenting with developing his own shaving soaps in house, and eventually began to sell them. He's our head soap maker, customer service representative, and never-ending idea guy. You can thank adhd for that.
