All the molecules we perceive as scent are made of the same elements. Once upon a time, atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements were drifting through space. Now they swirl through the woods, flowers and spices of Earth.
Every species on our planet and every fragrance we smell is the product of a cosmic odyssey that took billions of years to complete. The chemical compounds that create scent, such as terpenes, esters, or aldehydes, are Earthly compositions of matter. You could say, in effect, they are the universe speaking via perfume.
So when we smell a fragrance, we are but the cosmos experiencing itself, through the invisible poetry of scent.
This is Monolith, the echo of something left behind. A composition that captures the strange pull of the unknown.
Fir Balsam Absolute is one of my favorite aromatic ingredients. At last, it finds its place here. It is the heart of the piece, with its rich coniferous scent and irresistible warmth. It is joined by the soft, dry woodiness of Virginia Cedarwood, grounding the blend with subtle strength.
Frankincense Absolute and Essential Oil impart their timeless resinous spicy scent. Mysterious, smoky, and gently luminous. Elemi lifts this spicy note with its fresh, citrusy edge, while Ginger cuts through at the top with a sharper note.
There are fleeting hints of life. Osmanthus, which has a delicate scent of leather and apricot, and Jasmine, which has a chilly and glass-like character.
Lastly, a precisely balanced composition of White Musks wraps the fragrance in a weightless veil. Silent, persistent, and always just out of reach.

Swirl a damp shaving brush on the dry surface of the soap in circular motions from 30 seconds (if using stiff brush) to 60 seconds (if using a soft brush). Aim to create a thick paste on the tips of the brush. A little pressure is good. It may be helpful to add a few drops of water to the surface of the soap halfway through.
Take the loaded brush and start "painting" the soap paste onto the area that you want to shave. To begin lathering, add a few drops of water on the tips of the brush and apply to the area in a circular motion. Repeat this process - add water/swirl - as many times as desired to achieve your prefered lather consistency.
When you are finished shaving, rinse the excess suds from the surface of the soap and allow it to dry. After a few hours, you can close the lid and store the soap in a cool, dark and dry place.

Well, the Halo base is just great. The lather it produces is amazing and keeps me Hydrated throughout the entire shave. Postshave is great too. Monolith is a fragrance that keeps evolving during and after the shave. You can feel all of the effort put in its development: all the notes are in their right place and they work together beautifully. Amazing work by Westman, again!
Allora eccoci qua. Dove partiamo? Dal dire che é solo il mio personale parere e che il mio naso non é cosi allenato a sentire tutte le sfaccettature.
E allora partiamo dalla base di westman Halo, vegetale, uno yogurt, con 30 secondi di prelievo é sufficiente per una crema bella compatta, morbida.
Scorrevolezza e protezione ottime davvero, prima volta con una base Halo (che poi il nome é bellissimo...ai tuoi ordini master chief🫡)
Profumazione: ripeto mio personale parere, la descrizione evoca tutta una serie di fragranze ma mi voglio soffermare sulla parola che da il nome a questo set MONOLITH ovvero MONOLITE un unico blocco di pietra ed é questo anche sento: tutte le fragranze si uniscono e formano un'unica sensazione, una sensazione resinosa, legnosa, incensata, ma non forte, piacevolmente dolce, non pesante,quasi "fresca", come se quel blocco ti accarezzasse dolcemente il viso e ti accompagnasse nella giornata.
Ecco la mia mente questo viaggio ha fatto.
Non so se ho carpito a pieno il pensiero di Tiago Sousa ma questo é quello che sento ed é una profumazione che mi piace tantissimo e faccio i complimenti a Westman ‼️
