Ariana & Evans Santorini Shaving Cream 5oz

Product Overview

Ariana & Evans Santorini Shaving Cream 5oz is a Greek-inspired artisan shaving cream featuring a fresh aquatic fragrance with marine notes, bright citrus, a distinctive hint of ouzo, and a warm amber and myrrh finish. Inspired by family memories and the atmosphere of summer nights along the Aegean Sea, Santorini offers a unique interpretation of an aquatic shaving fragrance.

The scent combines Maglini lemon, osmanthus, orchid, cassis, aquatic and marine notes, ozone, ouzo, musk, amber, and myrrh. Fresh citrus and oceanic elements create an airy opening, while floral and fruity accents add complexity. Musk, amber, and myrrh provide a deeper, warmer character that distinguishes Santorini from a conventional fresh aquatic fragrance.

Formulated with tallow, shea butter, castor oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, jojoba, and glycerin, Santorini Shaving Cream brings together traditional soapmaking ingredients in a cream-based format designed for brush lathering and a comfortable wet shaving experience.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Santorini is a deeply personal fragrance for the founder of Ariana & Evans, inspired by his Greek heritage and memories of his grandfather, affectionately known as "Pappouli."

Originally from Sparta, Pappouli had a memorable daily ritual of enjoying ouzo with his coffee. Sometimes he enjoyed a little too much and would end up falling asleep at the cash register of the family restaurant. These affectionate memories helped inspire the distinctive Greek character of Santorini.

The manufacturer describes Santorini as an aquatic fragrance with a distinctly Greek twist. Fresh marine notes, ozone, and citrus meet a subtle hint of ouzo, while lemon adds another familiar element of Greek culture and cuisine.

Rather than creating a purely fresh aquatic fragrance, Ariana & Evans introduced musk, amber, and myrrh to give Santorini a warmer, more atmospheric finish.

The inspiration is a summer night beside the Aegean Sea: fresh ocean air, Mediterranean citrus, and a deeper warmth that emerges as evening settles in.

For its creator, Santorini is both a fragrance inspired by Greece and a heartfelt reminder of Pappouli, who would have loved this shaving soap.
