Atmotic
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements
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
Atmotic is really a tale of two scents. The fist impression is a powerfully sweet and spicy top note of ginger and dogwood blossoms, but as it dries down the aged oak takes over and dominates the bouquet. What's left is a complex blend of powdery, sweet, and natural scents which are both intensely floral and intensely woody. Atmotic is a mature and distinct scent which could be worn almost anywhere, but if dry woods are not your thing, Atmotic isn't for you.

Base Description
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements’ flagship CK-6 soap base is a vegan formula that founder Douglas Smythe calls the “Mystical Trifecta of Slick.” It blends three Amazonian butters—bacuri, cupuaçu, and murumuru—with shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, and glycerin to create a textured lather reminiscent of dense cottage cheese. The result is a voluminous, high-density lather with exceptional moisturization properities that offers excellent cushion, above-average slickness, and rock-solid stability.
