Within the first week of discontinuing this Phoenix Shaving Classic the hate mail began. It was clear a small following around "Bali" had begun. Fran and I would jokingly refer to the write in campaign as "missives of the Cult of Bali". The thing is, the demand and enthusiasm for "GOB" never really died out. The only real reason we discontinued it was to make room for some new scents. 

Fast forward to 2020...yup, the year of suck. Having to cancel the Big Shave S'west and then one thing after another, Fran and I agreed we should focus on bringing a little more joy to the world. It truly seems in short supply, no? Well if we couldn't finally take a real vacation this year...oh yeah, that was cancelled too, but I digress...we would look back through our catalog and reboot some of the classics! So far we have brought back a hanful with new, little tweaks here and there. Garden of Bali, follows this trend and has also been...updated!

It is always a great pleasure to return to an old scent and add something new or remove something that never really worked, though not realized at the time. It's only natural that we have grown as artisans and gotten better at our craft, and that is essentially what these reboots are all about; a second chance to really get it right. After all, we owe it to our original blends from yesteryear considering they got us where we are now!

If you were a fan of Garden of Bali before, you are going to really love our latest rendition and treatment of the accord. Do not be led astray by all the citrus notes in the top of the fragrance, though it is a refreshing, immediate burst, the shape completely begins to twist and turn in on itself. Somewhere in between the ocean and the natural bamboo wall of the orange blossoming jungle your nose is beachcombing; Barefoot and sifting through driftwood, seaweed, cedar, cirtrus and sand. This is a warm, exotic and curious summer scent...but you'll wear it all year I know!
