Gondolier
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. The company blends innovative soap and fragrance formulas with playful, science-fiction-inspired themes, pairing eye-catching artwork with engaging back-stories for each release. 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
Gondolier is perhaps PAA's greatest fragrance contribution to the world of wet shaving. An in-house scent desgined by Douglas Smythe and Frances Towle, Gondolier is a Fresh Aromatic which is a truly unique take on a classic Fougere. The bold, juicy notes of Citronella, Juniper, Rose and Jasmine make it lean more fruity and arboreal than spicy, which creates a round and soft bouquet with a subtle melon-like aroma which is clean and fresh. The modest addition of menthol adds a minty note and a zesty feel which makes Gondolier truly refreshing, both to the nose and the skin. Gondolier is a casual and versatile fragrance which can be worn in almost any setting, but is best suited to daytime, home, and the office.
