Back in the day, before algorithms knew your middle name and before your mail came with more bills than thrills, there existed a mysterious monthly ritual: The Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown series. For Douglas, each new volume was like cracking open a portal to the esoteric. Fast forward to today, and Fran has harnessed that very spirit of serialized wonder for something equally legendary: The Doppelgänger Continuum Collection.
But instead of hauntings and ley lines, we’re diving deep into the haunted halls of vintage perfumery, exhuming the discontinued, and the revered! This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake, it’s preservation of aromatic art. And our third entry? A bona fide olfactory unicorn!!!
Continuum 003: The Nobleman Returns
There are power scents…and then there are sovereign scents. Gucci Nobile, launched in 1988, was never about brute force. In an age of overbuilt alpha bombs and locker-room swagger, Nobile stood apart like a velvet-clad strategist.
Crafted in the golden hour of fougères, its opening of bergamot, lavender, lemon, and tarragon sets a brisk, herbal tone that’s clean without being sterile. The heart beats with coniferous fir, floral nuance, and cool elegance, while the base, rich in oakmoss, sandalwood, amber and vetiver whispers of ancient forests and impeccably tailored Italian suits.
Though quietly discontinued in the early 2000s and suspected to have undergone a few silent tweaks along the way (may or may not be true), Nobile’s cult status only grew. Today, it fetches $200–$600 a bottle (if you can even find it), and vintage fragrance aficionados speak its name in reverent tones. This isn’t just a scent; it’s a benchmark in refined masculinity.
Our Homage: Another Shave Den Resurrection
Continuum 003 isn’t a carbon copy. It’s a treasure map drawn in lavender, fir, amber, and oakmoss. Our homage was built with respect and restraint. The same mossy depth. The same herbal clarity. The same whispering nobility. The same Continuum EPICNESS!
Whether you're a frag-head, a newly converted scent scholar, or just someone with a deeply ingrained aversion to mediocrity, this one’s for you.
But take note: like all entries in the Doppelgänger Continuum, it won’t be around forever.
Each Continuum release comes with its own lore and learning, because we believe fragrance should excite the nose and the mind. By year’s end, your collection will be the envy of any self-respecting olfactory time traveler.
So stay tuned, fellow seeker. The mystery continues...Doppelgänger Continuum No. 3!
If an aftershave balm and alcohol based splash were to have a baby, our Star Jelly Aftershave Formula would be their love child. Not to be confused with an alcohol free balm, meaning; this stuff still contains alcohol and a kiss of menthol to give you that classic splash feel at first. Then there is that familiar cool down we all know and love...but something more is going on, something cosmic!
Unlike traditional balms, our Star Jelly absorbs rapidly into freshly shaven skin without any greasy, heavy feeling build up! Star Jelly leaves your skin moisturized and silky. A refreshing, alternative that you instantly will fall in love with!
What's Inside?
Allantoin: a naturally occurring nitrogenous compound used as a skin conditioning agent. It can be derived from animals, however the allantoin we use is derived from plants.
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides: from coconut oil and glycerin, it’s considered an excellent emollient. It’s included in cosmetics due to its mix of fatty acids that skin can use to resist moisture loss. This ingredient’s value for skin is made greater by the fact that it’s considered gentle.
Vegetable Glycerine: is derived from soy and is used in cosmetics and body care products to assist in retaining moisture. It is invaluable as a natural source ingredient with emollient like properties which can soften the skin.
