Ariana & Evans Kaizen Ultima 2 Aftershave Splash 5oz

Product Overview

Ariana & Evans Kaizen Ultima Aftershave Splash 5oz is an alcohol-based artisan aftershave featuring a vibrant fragrance that blends bright citrus, fresh green apple, delicate florals, warm tobacco, and rich woods. Mandarin, Calabrian bergamot, lemon peel, and neroli create an invigorating opening, while honeysuckle, rose, Haitian vetiver, sandalwood, and cedarwood contribute complexity and depth.

Bold, playful, and captivating, Kaizen offers a distinctive fragrance experience that evolves from fresh citrus and aromatic florals into a warmer, spicier, woody character.

The Ultima aftershave formula combines aloe vera juice, rose hydrosol, vegetable glycerin, emu oil, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and botanical extracts with a traditional alcohol-based splash. These ingredients are commonly used in skincare and grooming formulations for their moisturizing, emollient, and conditioning properties.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Kaizen is our playful, bold, seductive, vibrant, and captivating soap.

It's a fusion of mandarin, tangy tangerine, and zesty lemon, with a dash of bergamot and apple for a fresh and green base. A touch of neroli adds extra charm, but don't worry, it won't overpower your senses.

The middle notes are a delightful mix of floral and citrus, while cedar and other woods bring depth to the fragrance. Honeysuckle and rose add a subtle sweetness in the background, never stealing the spotlight.

The final stage is a surprisingly spicy and woody blend, almost like a whole new scent altogether. It is a truly unique evolution in the fragrance.

Exquisite, invigorating, and a little bit quirky, Kaizen brings together freshness, floral sweetness, and warm woody complexity in one distinctive composition.
