Homestead Barbershop
Adopted Acres
Adopted Acres was founded in 2024 by Doug & Cara Layne in Asheville Ohio, where Doug uses tallow from the family farm where they have over 1,000 acres and an Angus beef cattle herd to make his soap. Doug is a wet shaving fanatic who dreamed of making his own soaps and splashes. The fragrances are all original and in addition to Cara the couple's five children help run the show.
Scent Description
Homestead Barbershop is a truly unique take on a classic genre. Although it's a true Fougère due to the presence of Oakmoss, Coumarin, and Lavender, the strong notes of Clove and Geranium add a warm, sweetness which is familiar and comforting. The presence of Basil, Rosemary, Bitter Orange and Black Pepper add a subtle, spicy depth, and the underpinning of Patchouli, Oakmoss, White Musk and Guaic Wood add a dry, hazy etherealness which binds it all together. Homestead Barbershop is calm and inviting, and will be welcome in almost any daytime setting making it extremely versatile and easy to wear at home or in the office.
