Moon Soaps Santa Cruz Aftershave Splash 4oz

Product Overview

Moon Soaps Santa Cruz Aftershave Splash is a 4 oz alcohol-based post-shave splash inspired by sun-drenched summer days in Santa Cruz, California, the coastal town Moon Soaps calls home.

Quick Take

Santa Cruz is Moon Soaps' tribute to California beach culture, surfing, and summers spent along the Santa Cruz coastline. Coconut, banana, pineapple, vanilla sweetness, warm beach sand, amber, caramel, cocoa butter, and a deeper dark coconut note create a creamy tropical fragrance rooted in the artisan's memories of surf wax, salt water taffy, warm sand, and long days at the beach.

Scent Notes

Featured Notes: Coconut, Ripe Banana, Juicy Pineapple, Vanilla Cotton Candy, Warm Beach Sand, Amber, Caramel, Cocoa Butter, Dark Coconut

The Santa Cruz fragrance begins with a tropical combination of coconut, ripe banana, and juicy pineapple inspired in part by the fragrant piña colada surf wax of the artisan's childhood. Sweet vanilla cotton candy, amber, caramel, cocoa butter, and the impression of warm beach sand add richness, while the Aftershave Splash introduces a deeper dark coconut note for a more refined and mature finish.

Inspired by Summers in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is deeply rooted in Moon Soaps' connection to its California hometown. The fragrance draws from memories of surfing, warm summer afternoons, the Santa Cruz coastline, and the unmistakable tropical aroma of the surf wax used on their boards as kids.

Pineapple and coconut form the heart of that surf-inspired memory, while ripe banana pays tribute to the banana salt water taffy associated with summer days at the beach. Moon Soaps then developed a warm sand accord from sandalwood, amber, mahogany, vanilla, cocoa butter, and caramel to evoke the feeling of Santa Cruz Main Beach.

The inspiration extends to the product artwork, which draws from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and its nostalgic coastal atmosphere. The artisan describes a setting filled with waves, classic amusement rides, vintage attractions, the wooden roller coaster, and colorful sunsets over the California coast.

Fragrance Inspiration

The tropical core of Santa Cruz was inspired by the sweet pineapple and coconut aroma of surf wax Moon Soaps remembers from childhood days spent surfing. Banana was added as a tribute to the banana salt water taffy associated with summers at the Santa Cruz beach.

To capture the beach itself, Moon Soaps created a warm sand accord using sandalwood, amber, mahogany, vanilla, cocoa butter, and caramel. Combined with the tropical fruit notes, the composition was designed to evoke the laid-back atmosphere of growing up near the beach in Santa Cruz.
