Gentleman's Study

Old Parchment, Leather Binding, Cedar Desks, Antique Woodwork, Clove, Plum, Peach, Peony, Violet, Vanilla, Pepper, Patchouli

Step inside and shut winter out. Outside, Alberta’s wind howls and snow drifts stack high against the walls. Inside, it’s warm cedar, cracked leather, and parchment pages that smell like stories waiting to be read by firelight.

Gentleman’s Study is our nod to that quiet refuge—a room that holds the cold at bay with warmth and just enough mischief to keep it from feeling too buttoned up. MacDuff, scholar by the hearth when he’s not chasing snowdrifts, keeps watch—proof a warm mind and a wild nose can get along just fine.

Old parchment, leather bindings, and polished woodwork lead the way—dry, warm, familiar. Plum, peach, peony, and violet drift in like the softest promise of spring under all that snow. Clove and pepper bring a cozy spice, patchouli hums low and earthy, and vanilla softens it all—like the last crackle of the fire before the logs settle into coals.

Please note this is a reworked version of our prior 2022 scent "NYC Odyssey"

[tab name="WHAT MAKES IT WORK"]

Hydrate. Soothe. Carry the Scent.

A good shave shouldn’t end with raw skin and cheap burn. Our alcohol-free aftershave splash calms irritation, locks in moisture, and leaves behind just enough of your signature scent to carry you through the day.

Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it does what your skin actually needs post-shave—hydrate, smooth, and soothe—without stinging the life out of it.

What Makes It Work (And Why You’ll Care)

Hydration Without the Burn — Alcohol-free, witch hazel and aloe base calms and cools your skin after shaving—no sting, no dryness.
Locks In Moisture — Organic jojoba oil and vegetable glycerine help your skin hold onto hydration so it feels soft and comfortable all day.
Smooths & Conditions — Olivem (a water-soluble olive oil derivative) restores your skin’s natural barrier—leaving it smooth, never greasy.
Rehydrates & Repairs — Vitamin B5 (DL-Panthenol) helps soothe and rehydrate freshly shaved skin.
Velvet Finish — Hydrolyzed oat protein and silk peptides boost moisture and leave a subtle, soft finish once dry.
Soothes & Calms — Allantoin and white willow bark help reduce redness, calm irritation, and tighten up the skin without harshness.
Antioxidant Boost — Grapefruit seed extract and vitamin E protect and nourish while naturally extending the splash’s shelf life.
Scent That Lasts — Carries your favourite MacDuff scent beyond the soap—layered, distinctive, paraben and phthalate-free.

Small-batch made in Alberta—an alcohol-free aftershave splash built for real skin comfort.

Bottle size: 100 mL / 3.4 fl oz.

[tab name="HOW TO USE"]

Rinse off any leftover lather and pat your face dry. Shake the bottle well, pour a small splash into your hands, and work it into your skin—face, neck, anywhere the blade’s been.

No sting, no rinse—just smooth, calm skin and a scent that sticks around. Use daily after your shave.
