Scent Notes

Featured Notes: Fir Needle, Jasmine, Lemon, Patchouli, Lavender, Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Cedar.

Fir needle and lemon introduce a sharp green brightness, softened by jasmine and lavender. Patchouli and oakmoss give the fragrance its earthy character, while cedar and sandalwood add woody warmth. Musk rounds out the composition with a darker undertone.

Best For

Traditional wet shavers who prefer tallow-based soaps and enjoy forest-inspired fragrances with moss, woods, and floral detail. Its moonlit cemetery theme also makes it an appealing choice for fans of Halloween and atmospheric horror.

Performance Profile

The formula combines stearate, tallowate, castorate, and cocoate soap salts. These contribute to the soap's lathering structure, while glycerin acts as a humectant to help retain moisture. Both potassium and sodium soap salts are present, contributing to the balance of solubility and structure.

Coconut milk, slippery elm, and meadowfoam are also included. Build the lather with gradual water additions to find your preferred consistency for bowl or face lathering.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Beyond the rusted cemetery gates, moonlight spills across forgotten graves. The air carries the sharp green scent of fir needle and a fleeting glimmer of lemon, drawing you deeper into the trees. Jasmine and lavender bloom along the path, delicate, haunting, and strangely alive in a place where nothing should stir.

Beneath your footsteps, earthy patchouli and oakmoss evoke damp soil and secrets buried long ago. Cedar and sandalwood lend a shadowy warmth, while musk lingers close to the skin like a presence you can feel but cannot see.

Buried By Moonlight captures the quiet beauty of a graveyard after midnight, woodsy, mysterious, and tempting enough to make you linger.

Some things are better left buried. This Halloween, you’ll want to unearth this one.

Directions for Use

Wet your shaving brush and gently shake out excess water. Load the brush with soap, then build your lather in a shaving bowl or directly on wet skin. Add water gradually while working the brush until the lather reaches your preferred consistency. Apply, shave, and rinse thoroughly.
