As we all know I am a complete sucker for woody scents and Portland General Stores Wood Body Creme does not disappoint. Thankfully however it is not scent over substance as this is also an incredibly thick luxurious body cream (or Creme as the name suggests.) Containing incredibly softening coconut oil, this lotion absorbs quickly but still does the job on dry skin. It works wonders as a hand cream, and I’ve been keeping a small pot in my bag for just this purpose! As for the scent itself it is a subtle mixture of patchouli and cedar with a subtle hint of vanilla to soften the smell. It is not an overpowering scent making it the perfect body cream for those that like to be smelled up close, sexy!
Recently I have been trying a few products from a brand that has interested me in a while, Portland General Store. Portland General Store are a brand first founded by an interested in sustainable living - which culminated in happening open a vintage soap and perfume recipe book. This lead to the main inspiration for this brand, using basic ingredients to create beautiful and timeless blends.
Their Whiskey After-Shave Splash has actually become a staple for me since trying a small sample from their online store. Not only are the ingredients themselves gorgeous, it contains sea kelp, aloe vera and tea tree without any harsh alcohol but the scent itself quite enchanting and completely the definition of the word timeless. The smell itself is a subtle but sweet whisky scent that conjures up memories of old buildings near the beach, and the product really seems to give my skin that moisture drink it needs after shaving leaving it soft and quite smooth.
