Italian Citrus
• Brush: #ChiselAndHound Ambrosia Maple
• Razor: #Koraat Sparschweinchen 🐖
• Lather: #AbbateYLaMantia Verbena Toscana
• Post: #Speick Men Active
• Frag: #Farina 1709Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can't put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent #AustereAugust setup
