HEREScent Profile (by Matt when available):
The fragrance of High Seas is deceptively light both off the dry tub and initially when lathered. It gathers strength in a peculiar fashion as the shave progresses. It's a fairly linear aquatic fragrance with the crisp green evergreen wood essence pushed to the forefront.
The splash is not your standard alcohol fare as the alcohol is present, but it's light. I suspect water is the main carrier in this splash, and I can see some sediment despite the frosted glass bottle. There is a light menthol presence which absolutely complements the fragrance. Otherwise the fragrance profile matches that of the soap, except the conifer is even more prominent and transforms to a gentle, non-medicinal tea tree in the dry down.
This was a very enjoyable, pleasant, shave courtesy of Black Ship Grooming Company's new base. I'm not sure why it's marketed as "limited edition" as I can't see why it shouldn't be a standard offering. "Limited" says "short-term" to me. Perhaps the artisan desires to keep the business model as primarily vegan offerings. If this is the case, he could simply call this lanolin product "special edition" and use it for such releases.
