Patient No. 9 Shave Soap (Ultima 2)

This will be a limited run offering in our new Ultima 2 formulation. 

Patient No. 9 was inspired by my love for ‘The Prince of Darkness’ and his love for a certain iconic scent. This isn’t a dupe or off the shelf fragrance. It simply borrows a handful of familiar notes and pushes them into a world that’s unmistakably ours, stranger, moodier and far more compelling. 

It opens with bright bergamot cut by geranium and a jolt of black pepper, a combination that feels sharp, nervous and alive. In the heart, rose, raspberry and jasmine swirl together in a way that’s lush but slightly warped, like beauty viewed through a cracked lens.

Then the walls close in. The concrete note comes through as the cold, damp and dust-covered walls of a long-abandoned mental institution, the kind where the air still holds whispers of what used to be. Vetiver and oakmoss add earth and shadow, grounding everything in something deeply atmospheric, while sandalwood and choya loban bring smoke, warmth and a haunting depth that clings to the skin.
