Dollar Shave Club is Getting into the Fragrance Field with New Line of Blueprint Cologne

The brand that made the act of shaving an easier, more affordable venture for all of us has taken its expertise even further. With the launch of Blueprint Fine Fragrances, Dollar Shave Club can now check off the fragrance box in its men’s grooming arsenal.

The Dollar Shave Club Blueprint cologne line features six premium scents split into two collections – Fresh and Warm. Its conception was formed in collaboration with fragrance world Hall-0f-Famer Ann Gottlieb, aka “The Nose.”

Gottlieb has worked with high-end brands such as Estee Lauder, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, and Dior, helping them to develop some of the top-selling, lasting scents on the market today. Her expertise, along with Dollar Shave Club’s dedication to providing men with all their grooming needs, has resulted in a line of fragrances packed with ingredients that provoke particular emotions and memories.

Its wide array of scents offers plenty of versatility to assure you smell your best in the moments you need it most. So, whether you need something to get you through your work day feeling fresh or a tantalizing scent for a night out to dinner, the Dollar Shave Club cologne line has all your bases covered.

Each member of the Dollar Shave Club cologne line is free of all the B.S. — no synthetic dyes, no parabens, no sulfates. The Blueprint Fine Fragrances will be listed at $50 and made available on Dollar Shave Club’s website on Friday, November 16.

Here’s a rundown of all the scents broken up by each collection.

When it comes to new soap releases and the role that marketing plays in the clean-up process, breaking down a Dr. Squatch promo is like entering a unique portal where some of the specifics take some very different twists and turns.
That’s definitely the case for this release, which features a pair of iconic monsters: Godzilla and King Kong. They’re inspired by last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which redefined this old-school sci fi rivalry by bringing in over $500 million at the box office.

ALTAIA’s Woo(E)D features exotic international fragrances
ALTAIA is an Italian company with an international approach to fragrances
ALTAIA WOO(E)D men's cologne

With a product name that leans heavily into the concept of seduction, ALTAIA is taking an intriguing approach to masculinity in its latest eau de parfum release. There’s more than a little ambiguity behind the “who seduces who?” question behind the name, and the foundation fragrances are designed to enhance and deepen that mystery.
ALTAIA is an Italian company with a flair for internationally-based fragrances, so it isn’t completely surprising that the foundation here consists of a combination of Atlas cedar, Gaiac wood, and cistus. This combination is well worth exploring, so let’s go there.

Not the usual woody foundation fragrances
 
While cedar might feel familiar as a foundation ingredient in men’s fragrances, this particular version is different.  Atlas cedar is native to the Atlas mountains in Algeria and Morocco, and it’s prized for having a warm scent that also offers a hint of delicate sweetness.
Gaiac wood is equally unique. It comes from a tree native to South America, and its smoky, sweet scent blends with both its woody cousin and the leather in the next layer. It offers traces of amber, too, and in its natural form this versatile, super-hard wood is used in both tool handles and traditional medicine.
Cistus has its own special origins, too. It grows wild in the areas around the Mediterranean, and it produces labdanum, a sticky resin that’s a staple of the perfume and fragrance world. It’s often used to support wood fragrances in the base layer, so it’s not surprising to see it turn up here. Perfumers see it as both cozy and romantic, hence the appeal in a fragrance that seeks to evoke this level of romanticism.
After an early April release, WOO(E)D is now available in the US. It is available in 100 mL  quantities for $230. It’s an expensive offering, but ATLAIA is hoping it will entice younger buyers, especially, to try some of the company’s other unusual fragrances.
