WSP Scent Descriptions - Complete List

Men’s Standard Scents

Bottom line: these scents will knock the socks off any drug store brand aftershave and give most department store colognes a run for their money. I’ve even had a couple of customers say they prefer a couple of these to $200 colognes.

Barbershop

Our inspiration was an Italian barbershop. We’ve blended all the signature scents of a barbershop into this intriguing fragrance. Pairs perfectly with the matching shaving soap & aftershave. We started with a base of powdery musk, added some bergamot, orange zest, oakmoss, patchouli, and finished it with a hint of geranium.

Black Amber Vanille

This scent reminds me of reading a classic leather bound book in a finely furnished study while sipping a fine glass of scotch. Classic, yet modern. We started with some rich, decadent French Vanilla. Then combined it with a rustic amber and rounded out with black Myrrh and a splash of Egyptian Musk.

Blackbeard

Bringing you back to the Golden Age of Piracy and the Pirate's code Blackbeard epitomized. Now, while we certainly don't condone piracy, smelling like a pirate has never smelled this good! To create Blackbeard, we started with tobacco, then added some cherry, vanilla, patchouli, cloves, and other spices.

Boston Leather

Not for the feint of heart. 100% smells like leather. For leather lovers only. You'll smell like leather. Don't tell me I didn't warn you.

Ah, the smell of rich Italian leather. Deep & complex & woody. Leather making was one of America's first industries. We set out to recreate the smell of leather Americana. Named after the Boston Leather District, we created a deep and classic leather scent. Top notes of suede dries down to tannin, cumin, & wood notes.

Cedar EO

The rich & warm smell of cedar. It is deep, a little spicy, and very woody. This is a pure & undiluted essential oil. By default this choice is Virginia Cedar, but you may also choose Texas or Atlas cedar in the order notes.

Cedar Citron

Orange & cedar is masterfully blended in this essential oil only fragrance blend. Top notes of orange & bergamot meld seamlessly with cedar, woods, & a hint of sandalwood. It is fresh, woody, & invigorating. Guaranteed to lift your spirits & invigorate your mind & body.

Citrus Blast

Just like it's name suggests, lemon, lime, & orange blasts your nose, followed by middle notes of strawberry, black currant, & jasmine, with a sandalwood base.

Christmas Spice

It smells alternatively like Grandma’s holiday kitchen or spiced cider. Sure to bring holiday cheer and warmth to these cold winter months. Christmas Spice is a blend of holiday spices including: clove, cinnamon, vanilla, & balsam fir.

Distinguished Gentleman

As the name suggests, this scent was made for the dapper gentleman. Classic & refined. Top notes of jasmine, lemon and rum. Mid notes of lavender, cedarwood and balsam. Patchouli, anise, and vanilla at the base.

Espresso

Coffee makes morning better. Whether you're a morning person or not, this espresso scent will help you get going!

Fougere Noir

A Drakkar Noir Type. This is an aromatic fougere with top notes of rosemary, artemisia, lavender, basil, lemon verbena, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are coriander, carnation, cinnamon, juniper and jasmine; base notes are leather, sandalwood, fir, amber, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver and cedar.

Lavenderwood

A masterful blend of lavender and cedar. I started with essential oils of lavender and red cedar wood. Then, I added some rosemary and cedar leaf. For the dry down, I finished it off with patchouli essential oil & musk.

Mahogany

It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and a lot of sexy. Sensual, woody, and spicy is how one customer's wife described it. "It reminds me of walking through a forest." is how another customer put it. "A perfect blend of sweet, spicy, & woody". I started with a base note of mahogany and then accented it with bergamot, vanilla, cedar and allspice notes. Then I threw in some cedar, vanilla, & patchouli to round it out.

Manly Musk

Clean, manly, musky. This is the sexy musk scent you were looking for. In our tests, 9/10 women went ga-ga over the smell. We’re not sure why the 10th gagged, but maybe we accidentally had her smell ambergris instead. Crafted with notes of white musk, sandalwood, patchouli, and amber.

Ol' Kentucky

It’s rich, creamy, & subtle scent crafted with bourbon at its core. We started the blend with top notes of bourbon and base notes of oak, sandalwood, & a hint of patchouli and powder. The official drink of the Kentucky Derby; this fragrance epitomizes the spirit of Ol’ Kentucky.

Pumpkin Spice/Pumpkin Pie

We set out to capture the essence of a warm pumpkin pie, and we think we nailed it! Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and spices combine with vanilla, caramel, and pumpkin to usher in cooler weather.

Sandalwood

A much truer sandalwood fragrance. Instead of offering you a floral sandalwood, we kept true to the woody and sensual smell of sandalwood. While we couldn’t use 100% sandalwood essential oil, we did use a hint of it and backed it up with patchouli, cedar, & amyris.

Tobacco

It does NOT smell like cigarettes. This is a “green” tobacco scent. It’s a fresh & clean smell. It’s modern & upbeat. It works perfectly as an everyday scent to wear to work, the bar, the golf club, etc.

Cured tobacco leaf & flower are the stars of this blend. We started with notes of cured tobacco for the base, and added top notes of bay leaf, and fir to create an intoxicating blend of tobacco and bay leaf. It just smells great; which is why it’s my second most popular scent behind barbershop.

True Lavender

100% pure lavender essential oil. While this is a solitary note, it is the king of lavender. Pure Bulgarian & French lavender essential oils gives it a complexity you won't find in cheaper blends. Fantastic, earthy, & floral.

Fresh Vetiver

This is our fresh take on vetiver. It reminds me of freshly cut grass on a breezy summer day; of baseball games and boating on the lake. This version of vetiver is clean and refreshing, like fresh cut grass and a cool lemonade. Lemon, florals, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, and vetiver are blended to create this refreshing interpretation.

Men’s Premium Scents

Our premium scents are crafted from finer ingredients and are generally based off of a super expensive fine fragrance. Giving you the full range of top, heart, and base notes, these scents emulate decadence and luxury. Due to the more expensive ingredients used, they cost a little bit more.

Bay Rum

A true classic. We based our bay rum off of a two century old recipe we found. Combining all the true classic bay rum scents, we went truly old school with this blend. Using only essential oils, this is what bay rum is supposed to smell like. Notes of: West Indies bay leaf, rum, lime, cinnamon, & allspice.

Black Orchid

This is a dark and fantastic unisex scent. Made with wood and fruit accords, the notes include: Black Truffle, Black Orchid, Black Plum, Noir Gourmand Accord, Patchouli. Inspired by Tom Ford Black Orchid.

Black Pepper

Inspired by the Molton Brown fragrance of the same name. Top notes of black pepper and lemon lead to a spicy-floral middle of cumin, coriander, ginger, jasmine, and violet leaf, all atop a sweet, deep, long-lasting base of oakmoss, musk, amber, and patchouli. Luxurious, subtle, mysterious, and elegant!

Calamus

Imagine an intense fusion of leaves and grass and bamboo and rain and stems, and you've barely begun to scratch the surface. It smells like paper, papyrus, bamboo, lumber, pencil shavings. Clean, pure, serene, amazingly natural. Inspired by Calamus by Comme des Garcons

Dragon’s Blood

Dragon’s Blood is a powerful, commanding, & sensuous fragrance which harkens you back to the incense markets of the Far East. Named after the the bright red resin harvested from dragon trees, this fragrance is rich, earthy, & a little sweet. A potent blend of ambers & woods consisting of cedarwood, patchouli, rose & jasmine. Topped with orange and featuring a base of soft vanilla & powder.

Eau des Merveilles

The fragrance opens with woody notes of vetiver, oak, and cedar, and then leads to a sultry middle of ambergris, with lemon, orange, elemi, and pink pepper in the finish. This is a great unisex blend inspired by the Hermes scent of the same name. And I’ll be damned if it doesn’t smell identical to the source material.

Gaelic Tweed (Green Irish Tweed)

A true classic. Gaelic Tweed has an invigorating freshness and pure masculinity. This is our interpretation of Creed's Green Irish Tweed. The fragrance is a masterful blend of lemon verbena top notes, an iris & violet leaf heart with a sandalwood & ambergris base.

Matterhorn (Silver Mountain Water)

This fragrance was designed to take you to the Swiss Alps and the sparkling streams of water of the spring snow melt. Crisp and fresh, this is a fantastic fragrance. Inspired by Creed Silver Mountain Water, it opens with bergamot and mandarin, followed by a heart of black currant. The base is composed of galbanum, musk, sandalwood and petit grain.

Neroli

This complex citrus blend will have you smelling and feeling really, really fresh and clean. Bursting juices of orange come to life with energetic splashes of grapefruit. Orange flower (neroli) and a hint of patchouli add depth and longevity. Inspired by Molton Brown's Orange & Bergamot AKA Naranji.

Top notes of bergamot, lemon, & oranges. A heart of neroli & cardamom. And a base of Sevillian orange, ylang ylang, & musk.

Olympus

Named after the home of the Greek gods and inspired by Creed’s Aventus, this is the scent fit for a king or emperor. It is creamy & smoky and crisp & fruity; provocative and masculine. The initial blast of fresh fruit will hit you sharply. The apple will give way to freshly cut pineapple. Then the smokiness will come out wrapping you in a woody, creamy cloak reminiscent of sandalwood.

A magnificent example of a fruity chypre fragrance, it opens with a burst of fresh pineapple, apple, & bergamot with a hint of blackcurrant; drying down to a woody & warm heart of birch, juniper berries, patchouli and a touch of jasmine; all built on a warm base of vanilla, oak moss, musk, sandalwood & ambergris.

Sexy Beast

Sexy Beast is a sensual fragrance for the modern man. Its lingering scent exudes the mystery and sophistication of mythical New York City nights. Weaving notes of fresh citrus, spicy sensuality, and woody orientals, the scent emits a sensation of solidity, strength, and quality that can be worn for any occasion.

Summer Breeze

Summer breeze is a fresh and masculine fragrance designed to evoke the cool air of a fresh summer ocean breeze. Rediscover a classic men’s marine fragrance inspired by a crisp spring rain on the coast and the freshness of the crisp and ocean breeze. This classic men’s fragrance includes notes of mint, green, lavender, coriander, rosemary, geranium, neroli, jasmine, sandalwood, cedarwood, musk, amber and tobacco.

Verbena

Inspired by L'Occitane, this is a clean & fresh scent perfect to usher in Spring & Summer. Crisp, clean, fresh and oh so lemon-y. Combining a fresh lemon scent with fresh verbena leaves, a little lime, a little peach, toss in some rose, and finished with more amazing lemon verbena. Guaranteed to brighten your day!

 

Signature Scents

These signature scents are unique creations by Lee. They represent WSP's first foray into the world of fine fragrance. With no holds barred, we used the best ingredients. With no cost limits, I was able to use the rarest & most expensive essential oils and absolutes such as Haitian vetiver, black pepper, sandalwood, oud, and tobacco absolute.

 

Black Vetiver

Black Vetiver is my take on a spicy vetiver scent. The vetiver is the star of this creation. It is prominent and present from the top notes to the base. It is an amazing essential oil as it transitions from smoky & woodsy to spicy & ambery. The scent starts out with a sharp note of black pepper, along with hints of bergamot. Then it quickly transitions into a cedar & sandalwood heart followed by a long lasting spicy vetiver base.

Classic Vetiver

Classic Vetiver is inspired by classic Vetiver & citrus fragrances such as Guerlain & Givenchy. The vetiver is the star of this creation. It is prominent and present from the top notes to the base. It is an amazing essential oil as it transitions from smoky & woodsy to spicy & ambery. The scent starts with top notes of bergamot & citruses. Followed by a heart of cedar & sandalwood. Finally it ends with a long lasting base of spicy vetiver and ambergris.

Oud Citron

A blast of sharp & tangy citrus will greet you upon first spray. So bright, you can taste it. It’s like biting into a sweet, tangy, lime. After the initial citrus blast, the fragrance will meld into a heart of Oud, wood notes, and a hint of lavender. Finally, the oud & woods are the only notes left and stay with you for hours.

Tobacco Vanilla

While this scent shares the nom de guerre as Tom Ford's hit fragrance, other than the name, I took very little inspiration from Mr. Ford. The star of my fragrance is tobacco absolute. I spared no expense in making it the most prominent note. Then I constructed a vanilla heart with hints of cedar & sandalwood. Tonka bean, ambergris, & oakmoss round out the base notes. And finally, I gave it a top note of invigorating black pepper.


 

Essential Oils

These are the essential oils I keep on hand. They can be used individually or blended in simple combinations. Some are much more expensive than others.

Bergamot

Fresh, fruity -sweet citrus with a slightly balsamic undertone

Cedar Atlas

Sweet, woody, & cedar-y.

Cedar Virginia

This is the scent we think of when we think cedar. It has a mild, sweet, pencil shaving-like scent.   

Cedar Texas

Very similar to the Virginia varietal, but with a more smoky & tar like scent.

Lavender

100% pure lavender essential oil. While this is a solitary note, it is the king of lavender. Pure Bulgarian & French lavender essential oils gives it a complexity you won't find in cheaper blends. Fantastic, earthy, & floral.

Lemon

It smells exactly like a freshly sliced lemon. This is THE lemon smell you think of when you think lemon. 100% pure essential oils.

Lime Expressed

It smells exactly like a freshly sliced lime. A sharp, tart scent.

Lime Distilled

Less tart & sharp than the expressed version. Still fresh & lime-y.

It's true to fruit, smelling like a freshly sliced grapefruit, lovely citrus with that characteristic tang

Orange

True to it’s name. It is a strong, orange odor.

Peppermint

100% pure peppermint oil. Fresh & refreshing.

Vetiver

A strong, smoky, woody, grassy, earthy odor.

Women’s Standard Scents

Jasmine

It is as close as we can get to the extraordinarily luxurious & expensive real jasmine absolute. While not all natural, it is much more affordable. It is a soliflore, which means a solitary note, but it’s still absolutely fabulous and to die for. Rich, floral, & just incredible.

Lavender

100% pure lavender essential oil. While this is a solitary note, it is the king of lavender. Pure Bulgarian & French lavender essential oils gives it a complexity you won't find in cheaper blends. Fantastic, earthy, & floral.

Love Charm

Bursting with delicious fruity notes like peach and mango, you’ll probably want to eat it! Featuring top notes of peach, mango, strawberry, and mandarin which flow into a complex crescendo of apple blossom, rose, tamarind, and coconut. The finale is a masterful blend of musk, vanilla, and sandalwood.

Oatmeal & Honey

Soothing & relaxing. This fragrance is a little sweet, a little savory, & oh so delicious. The perfect blend of oatmeal, milk, & honey is accentuated with a little vanilla.

Paradise

Floral, full bodied, warm & musky. This fragrance is definitely sexy. This white floral fragrance is all about the Tuberose & Honeysuckle. It starts with notes of tuberose, cherry, & nectarine. Then it moves on to gardenia, honeysuckle, & jasmine. The base is an intoxicating mix of sandalwood & musk.

Rose

We set out to recreate the fragrance of a fresh bouquet of red roses. Top notes of apple dry down to a heart of sumptuous rose absolute reinforced with Egyptian Geranium & Carnations with a lingering delicious white musk.

Vanilla & Lace

This is quite simply THE BEST vanilla fragrance we could possibly make for bar soap. You may not know this, but vanilla is almost impossible to get to come through after the soap cure. But we finally got it to happen with this blend. A classic & decadently rich vanilla will greet your nose. Accented by lemon, florals, and a light white musk, this will easily become your new favorite vanilla.
