HAGS The Awakening Alcohol Aftershave Splash 100ml

Product Overview

HAGS The Awakening Aftershave Splash 100ml is an alcohol-based aftershave featuring the refined Tesseract (4,3,4) formula and a rich, peach-forward amber vanilla fragrance inspired by Tom Ford Bitter Peach. Produced in Greece by HAGS Artisan Shaving Products, The Awakening combines succulent peach, blood orange, and aromatic cardamom with warm rum, cognac, Indonesian patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood.

Inspired by the untamed energy of a tropical jungle, The Awakening delivers a fragrance that balances juicy fruit, warm spices, boozy sweetness, and deep woody-resinous undertones. Its vibrant opening develops into a rich, layered composition with smooth vanilla, tonka bean, earthy patchouli, and warm amber-like accords.

Beyond its distinctive fragrance, The Awakening features HAGS' upgraded Tesseract (4,3,4) alcohol-based aftershave formula. Developed for improved moisturization and a more balanced post-shave feel, it combines alcohol with chamomile flower water, aloe vera, witch hazel, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and allantoin. The lightweight formulation is designed to absorb quickly, leaving freshly shaved skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and comfortable without a greasy residue.

A Word from the Manufacturer

The Awakening – Primitive Power, Luscious Temptation

Deep in a forgotten jungle, where the air hangs thick with fruit and fury, something stirs.

The Awakening channels raw instinct and tropical intoxication, inspired by Tom Ford's Bitter Peach.

The first hit is a feral burst of succulent peach, blood orange, and cardamom, bright, sticky, and dangerously ripe.

Beneath the surface, the jungle simmers. Rum-soaked davana, Indonesian patchouli, and jasmine swirl like rising heat, drawing you into a hypnotic trance.

As the fragrance develops, sandalwood, vanilla, and tonka bean leave a trail both savage and seductive.

Paired with vivid artwork depicting a primal guardian rising from his island slumber, The Awakening captures the spirit of raw instinct, tropical warmth, and rich fragrance.

Unleash the beast. Lather the legend.
