Ariana & Evans Khalifa Ultima 2 Base Shaving Soap Ultima Base 5oz

Scent Notes

Khalifa is a dark, smoky, and mysterious fragrance combining exotic resins, tobacco, vanilla, oud, coffee, and incense. Resinous and woody elements provide depth, while vanilla adds subtle sweetness against the darker character of tobacco, oud, coffee, and smoky incense. The result is a complex fragrance reminiscent of fine niche perfumery.

Fragrance Notes: Resins, Tobacco, Vanilla, Oud, Coffee, Incense

Best For: Wet shavers who appreciate deep, avant-garde fragrances with smoky, woody, and resinous character. Khalifa is particularly well suited to evening use and colder weather.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Khalifa draws inspiration from Nasomatto Black Afgano, and describing its scent is a subjective experience. Ask ten people and you may hear ten unique interpretations, but they share one common sentiment: it is hauntingly beautiful.

Khalifa is a mysterious and exotic combination of resins, tobacco, vanilla, oud, coffee, and incense. Dark, smoky, and woody, the fragrance has the depth and complexity associated with fine niche perfumery.

Performance Profile

Khalifa is crafted in Ariana & Evans' Ultima shaving soap base. This tallow-based formula combines glycerin, beer, multiple butters and oils, emu oil, jojoba oil, agave, sodium lactate, and other ingredients to support the rich lather wet shavers expect from a traditional shaving soap.

Directions for Use

Load a damp shaving brush directly from the soap, then build the lather in a shaving bowl or directly on the face. Gradually add small amounts of water while working the lather until a rich, creamy consistency develops. Apply evenly to the beard area and shave as usual. Rinse thoroughly after shaving.
