Phoenix Shaving
Founded in 2012 by Douglas Smythe and his partner Frances Towle, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements has become one of the wet-shaving community’s most recognizable names.

Beyond soaps and scents, PAA is renowned for its accessories—razors, brushes, scuttles, alum blocks, balms, blades, and even apparel—many of which are prized for both performance and collectability.
Scent Description
Future Fiction is a sweet and luscious scent which opens with a strong burst of juicy citrus and honey, spiced with a dash of white pepper. The bouqet is balanced and complex, with subtle hints of peppermint and ginger adding depth and freshness. As with many PAA fragrances, as it dries down the woods become more prominent but remain in the background leaving a scent which is sweet, fresh, and slightly piney. An alluring and fun scent which feels young and modern, Future Fiction is a great summertime fragrance which can be worn almost anytime, on any occasion, including date night.

This was my first artisan scented soap and splash I ever had and WOW it's the reason I never went back to normal shaving this scent is just a perfect cologne type scent. Every time I wear it I get complimented on how nice I smell or people ask what you are wearing! The downside is the new bottles have the worst restrictors in them and you can barely get any of the splash out of the bottles so be prepared to modify them or somehow decant it to a new bottle!
