THE 10TH ANNUAL FALL SEASONAL SPECIAL 2025!!!

 

 

___________________________________________________________________________

The Fall Seasonal Special Hall Of Fame! Best over the Years

 

Back for its second year !  The Fall Seasonal Hall of Fame! These items are no longer in production and have been either retired or the company is no longer in business, or just plain cool. 

 

We start our special with items that have come and gone and proved to be very popular amongst wet shavers. 

____________________________________________________________________________

The Holy Black 




 

Tell-Tale Heart Series Soap/AS/EDP: Dragonsblood imparts a familiar powdery incense note and dominates the initial exposure to the scent. Oud(agar/aloeswood) brings a dark, almost dank feeling to the overall fragrance here as subtler notes of teak, cedar and sandalwood balance out the wood accord. Almost strangely floral, this fragrance cannot be truly appreciated until it has a chance to interact with your body chemistry. 

 

Jeckyll and Hyde Box Set:Jeckyll and Hyde, when mixed in your own preferred ratios, allows you to  create a complex fragrance customizable to your own body chemistry that embodies the light and dark side of these similar profiles.  This set includes two 8.5oz aftershave splashes, two 50ml Eau De Toilette fragrances, and one Shaving soap with both Jeckyll and Hyde that can be used together, or separately. We also have a couple of other surprises in store for you that we think will be worth the wait. 

 

 

Black Magic Talking Board Set The newest fragrance in our line up, and perfect for the Autumn season, Black Magic is a Tobacco forward fragrance with notes of Fresh Tobacco, Tobacco Absolute, Tonka Absolute, Madagascar Vanilla, Bourbon, Oak, Cacao, Espresso, Dried Fruit and Spices. 

 

 

Vampire Hunter Set :Just when you thought there were no more surprises in store for 2020- Vampires! The undead walk the earth and you must do your duty to keep them at bay. With the return of Vampires looming, we bring you this 20 piece Vampire Hunting Kit.  Painstakingly made here at the Holy Black for all your Vampire killing needs, there are only a few available, and somehow, these look even better in person. These come complete with dust and cobwebs and are right at home amongst antiques in an old Victorian mansion. We are super proud of this one and it's been an idea that we never had the means to pull off in a way that would do it justice.



 

Seven Deadly Sins 2022:Thought to have been made in late 1500s Italy and found under the ruins of a burned out church, this seven day box set of shaving soaps is rumored to have mystical properties. The original paper label on the lid is charred but still legible and when you slide it back and remove the shredded aspen wood substrate you will find an 8oz wax sealed glass bottle and 7 ceramic dishes, still safe inside in their original paper wrappers, miraculously untouched by flame.  The Aftershave and Shaving Soaps have survived wonderfully. If you are able to obtain this set, be cautious, there have been strange happenings here.



 

The Alchemist Set 2023:With the Alchemist box set, you're not just crafting a fragrance; you're weaving stories, emotions, and a dash of ancient magic into every drop. Whether you're a fragrance aficionado, a lover of tales, or someone seeking a unique olfactory journey, this collection promises an experience that's as enchanting as the legend of Alastair himself.

 

 

Memento Mori- Remember, you must die. This box set creates an environment that ensures you stay in that Memento Mori mindset. All of your senses are there to remind you to live in the now. Your most powerful sense, your sense of smell, is the main focus here, a 30ml bottle of a powerful fragrance is within the earthenware vessel. Inhale fresh earth, the cypress trees in the cemetery in the crisp air of October, almost taste the ripe fruit, smell the imperial roses, corps iris, and even the lingering scent of fresh cement to remind you that your life on earth is fleeting. Far from macabre, Memento Mori is the celebration of life, a reminder to live every day to its fullest.

DR Jon’s 

 

Blood Oath Soap/AS & More: For those not familiar with Blood Oath, the fear of bad omens once would circulate and sweep through the superstitious bellies of ancient towns when unexplained moments of failed crop harvests or even morning milk soured by noon. These omens were not to be taken lightly. (Closed in 2022) 

____________________________________________________________________________

Barrister and Mann

 

 



Lyssa: Soap/AS and Vampire Kit: Barrister and Mann is proud to announce our collaboration with local research laboratories to bring you the world’s first fully functional zombie repellant. After careful study and experimentation upon captured zombies from a local reanimation (known in the annals of history as “The Templeton Cemetery Incident”), these labs have developed an aroma-based agent to keep the undead at bay. Christened “Lyssa” by its creators, and conveniently packaged in a shaving soap, aftershave, and eau de parfum, this special blend will keep you safe from even the most relentless walkers.

 

Hallows: Soap/AS/EDP & More:Scent Profile: Taking inspiration from the swamps of Boston, we combined vetiver, oakmoss, black pepper, cocoa, labdanum, and cedar to produce a deep, cold scent suited to the chilly, bitter days of late October. (One of the top scents of all time) 

 

 

 

Season of the Witch Soap/AS & More Beneath this enrapturing accord, ripples of power lurk. The green dustiness of tarragon, the spicy tang of nutmeg and wormwood, and elemental, primordial notes of oakmoss, oud, and woodsmoke bubble from the depths, bathing the flowers in their eldritch glow. Mossy and primeval, floral and herbal, the product of centuries of tradition and craft, Season of the Witch is the potion of a modern age, composed to enthrall and enchant. Something wicked this way comes.

Crane: Cream and AS: Take the midnight Ride but don't lose your head! Beware, ye bristly souls! Crane is no ordinary grooming elixir—this is a concoction straight from the haunted hills of Sleepy Hollow! Inspired by the Headless Horseman himself, Crane’s rich, creamy lather wraps your skin in a supernatural shield, delivering a smooth, protective shave that softens as it haunts. Infused with the unusual and bold fragrance of spiced oranges and a fiery hint of chili pepper, this scent is as mysterious as the ghostly rider who roams on All Hallows' Eve.

Scent Profile: spiced oranges and a fiery hint of chili pepper,

 

 

Samhain’s Curse Soap and AS: This wicked blend sets sail with smoldering incense, charred orange peel, and black clove before sinking into a heart of aged rum, damp oak, and ritual myrrh. The base lingers with smoked amber, leather, and ghostly midnight air. It’s the scent of harvest fire and cursed seas, bottled for those brave enough to face the unknown.

 

____________________________________________________________________________

Stirling Soap 

 

Hot Apple Cider Soap, AS & More Apples, cinnamon, and clove make for a perfect shave as the weather turns cool and the trees turn.

Pumpkin Spice Soap, AS & More **Our Pumpkin Spice fragrance is back to being the spicy version from 2014. Last year was more of a maple/syrup-y scent. Due to customer feedback, we have brought back the previous fragrance which has a heaping dose of spice.

____________________________________________________________________________

Declaration Grooming 

 

Dark Fall Soap and AS: Darkfall is a spicy oriental designed to capture the spirit of fall in the rural south. Agarwood, amber, and benzoin provide a deep, warm base for the cinnamon and clove top notes.

____________________________________________________________________________

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements

 

 Astro Traveler Soap/AS & More: It opens with a refreshing burst of bergamot and grapefruit, a bright, invigorating duo that draws you in from the first whiff. As the top notes settle, you’re introduced to the spicy warmth of orange zest, black pepper, and nutmeg—a trio that adds a rich, fiery edge, hinting at something deeper below the surface.

 

Atomic Pumpkin Soap/AS & More: This isn't your basic seasonal Pumpkin Pie offering my friends but something far more sophisticated and alluring, West Indian Bay, Moro Blood Orange, Allspice, Lite Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Elemi Resin. Trust me when I say this really is some festive, masculine magic done right.

Ciderhouse: Soap,As & More, Scent Profile: Pipe Smoke, Mulled Cider, Oakwood, Dried Leaves, Linseed…seems innocent enough, right?

 

Greenwitch Envy: Soap/AS & More the regenerating heart of the fragrance beats with Sandalwood, Cedar, and a touch of Carnation—that unexpected floral note you never saw coming, but somehow makes perfect sense. It’s like walking into a room and feeling a presence that shouldn’t be there. But still, you’re drawn in. And then there’s the base: Incense, Tobacco, Vanilla, with a lingering edge of Vetiver and Patchouli. These are the smells of forgotten places. Old leather-bound books gathering dust, a smoldering fire that’s almost gone out but still carries the faintest trace of warmth. It’s rich, it’s dark, but lite and it clings to you long after the bottle is closed.

 

 

Monstroso Shave Soap/As and More: Oddities, curiosities, things that go bump in the night lurking just beyond the safety of a flickering, fast burning candles light...MONSTROSO! cent Profile: Moro Blood Orange, Autumn Glo Apricot, Haitian Vetiver

Blue Samhain Soap/AS & More: Samhain captures the essence of autumn’s twilight—the velvety dusk before winter’s chill. A deep, ritualistic blend of bourbon, tobacco, pumpkin, sandalwood, nutmeg, oud, incense, amber, vanilla, hazelnut, charred wood, and musk creates a darkly comforting fragrance that celebrates the turning of the seasons.

 

Leviathan Soap/AS & More: Russian leather accord and blended it with notes of sandalwood, coffee, cedar, and musk to create a dark, feral scent well-suited to its namesake. Elemental and at times slightly unsettling, Leviathan is a scent to accompany you to the end of the world.

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

The Shave Mercantile 

 

Pretty Polly Soap: There are many versions of her song. In some, she’s the victim. In others… she’s the one who swings the blade. Polly's melody drifts down from the Appalachian hills. A murder ballad carried on cold wind and memory through the centuries. Some have differing opinions on how this story ends, but the earth and grave know the truth.

 

The scent is steeped in an uneasy beauty: freshly dug grave soil, moss, and cedarwood tangled with dark plum, blood orange, jasmine, and amber. It’s rich, unsettling, and strangely inviting, like a hymn sung in an empty church.

 

An Appalachian Gothic fragrance, Polly is Earthy. Haunting. Full of quiet mystery, folklore, and fog. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, story, a bit of the macabre, and the kind of scent that leaves an echo, this one’s worth the lather.
