Following Seas
Subtle Art Soap
Founded in 2021 in upstate New York by U.S. Coast Guard veteran Joe Dean and his wife, Subtle Arts began as Joe’s personal search for a gentler shave to accommodate his sensitive skin. What started as home-crafted soaps for friends and family quickly blossomed into a thriving venture. Today, Subtle Arts produces a complete range of premium men’s grooming products and bath soaps, all rooted in the tradition of quality ingredients and classic wet-shaving craftsmanship.
Scent Description
Following Seas channels the crisp, blue allure of classics like Bleu de Chanel and Acqua di Giò, but steers its own course. Cool aquatics lap against a heart of geranium—a rosy-mint nuance that keeps the composition brisk—while rosemary layers in fresh herbaceous depth and lavender lends a soft floral breeze. As the tide recedes, bright bergamot and grapefruit emerge, adding a juicy sparkle that feels effortlessly modern and unmistakably refined. The result is a light, gentlemanly fragrance with year-round versatility but particularly suited for summer days spent anywhere from the boardroom to the beach.
