Picture it: 1963. The everyday man walks with confidence, knowing he's got something up his sleeve, or rather, on his skin and up his sleeve. That something was Sun Up, a legendary scent from Gillette that captured the essence of masculine elegance in just a splash. Fast forward to now, and we’re once again resurrecting the spirit of that golden era with Sun Down, our homage to a classic aftershave that’s been missing from our shelves for far too long.
Scent Profile: A Nod to the Bold
Top Notes: Lemon, Petitgrain, and Bergamot kick off with a sharp citrus burst, waking you up like the first light of dawn.
Middle Notes: Lavender, Rose, and Clary Sage bring an herbal floral heart, balanced with just the right amount of freshness.
Base Notes: The real magic lies in the finish, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and a hint of Animalic Musk, creating a warm, earthy dry-down that lingers long after the sun has set.
This is a fragrance for the man who moves through life with confidence and quiet power. Whether you're tackling your day or stepping into the twilight of an unforgettable evening, Sun Down shines anytime!
Fear City" was a nickname given to New York City in the 1970s, especially around 1975, when the city was facing a severe financial crisis, rising crime, and major budget cuts to police and city services.
The term really took off when a group of NYPD officers’ unions launched a campaign against proposed cuts to the police department. They handed out a pamphlet called “Welcome to Fear City: A Survival Guide for Visitors to the City of New York” to tourists arriving at airports and bus terminals. Fragrance Notes

King of the City is a masterfully sculpted fragrance that dances between light and shadow, energy and elegance. It opens with a radiant burst of citrus, sharp and sunlit, layered with cool fresh accords that feel like a breeze against sun-warmed skin. As it deepens, the heart pulses with aromatic herbs and fresh spices, crackling with vitality and grounded in confident complexity. The warmth unfurls slowly—molten amber glows beside smoky, fire-lit undertones and dry, noble woods, creating a magnetic tension. A veil of powdery softness adds polish, while rich balsamic resins lend a smooth, luxurious finish that clings to the skin like second nature with undeniable presence.
Notes
King of the City is a most refined olfactory experience. This distinguished formulation opens with a lively burst of citrus and mint, enlivened by pink pepper, aldehydes, and a trace of coriander, stirring the senses with vigor. At its heart, a warm tincture of ginger and nutmeg mingles with jasmine and melon, balancing spice and sweetness with uncommon grace. The base settles into noble woods, glowing amber, and sacred incense, anchored by the depth of patchouli, labdanum, and amberwood. A composition worthy of any of taste—measured, magnetic, and most enduring.
