NOW IN ULTIMA 2
Indulge in the luxurious and unique combination of spicy and woody notes with The Novelist Shaving Soap. Inspired by my personal bottle of Histoires de Parfum 1899, The Novelist has been a hidden gem reserved for our members until now. Its beauty is too irresistible not to share with the world. The newly updated version, made in-house with our superb Ultima formulation, features a sophisticated blend of Bergamot, Juniper, Black Pepper, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Iris, Vetiver, Tobacco, and Amber. It has been described by fragrance enthusiasts as a refined version of Viktor & Rolf Spice Bomb, with added notes of vanilla, Amber and aromatic spices. Don't miss out on experiencing this truly captivating scent.
*Although this was inspired by my bottle of HdP 1899, this is not a duplication or clone. This was created in-house and not an off the shelf fragrance oil dupe

The description is spot on—this soap reminds me of Spice Bomb. When I first opened the jar, an off-putting scent made me hesitant. However, once I lathered the soap and applied it, the fragrance became wonderful.
Performance-wise, it’s solid—while not quite on par with the Latte e Menta formula, it’s still a very good soap.
Great rich lather as always with a spectacular scent.
Love this one also. A and E tallo based soaps are incredible and make the difference between a good shave and bad one.
I’m new to this artisan movement in self care, so I don’t have the vocabulary yet. All of the A&E Ultima soaps I’ve bought are amazingly foamy with a slickness and after shave quality that I feel make my skin more hydrated and nourished than before the shave. Not sure if it is in fact what’s happening, but I perceive it that way! And the smell of the soaps improve from presoak to shave to after the shave to a few hours later. NOVELIST is a classy, masculine, cigar library smell that makes me smile!
fantastic!
