Scent Notes: Geosmin, Spikenard, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Patchouli. In other words, the scent of good ol' clean, honest, DIRT!
A Word from the Manufacturer:
Though many will want to wear this scent as is, it really shines when combined with Mega Flora! That's right folks, this series of fragrances; Terra Preta and La Tierra Mojada are to be mixed and matched! Essentially, when you apply these products you are constructing the rain forest from the ground up!
Ex. Shave with Terra Preta then chase with a splash of Mega Flora...or La Tierra Mojada, try it the other way around for a different ration! I highly encourage you to mix it up and experiment.
Colloidal Clay & Bamboo Charcoal or Formula CK-6+
That's right folks, we decided to try something different with our beloved Formula CK-6 and add a little terra preta starter to it!
Two Key Ingredients in Terra Preta is Charcoal & Clay!
Colloidal Clay (Sodium Bentonite) which, when mixed with water, forms a gelatinous-like liquid which, in shave theory, adds to glide and slickness. You see, sodium bentonite expands when wet, absorbing as much as several times its dry mass in water. It is also develops an earthy odor when wet adding to the depth of the scent profile in a similar fashion the vetiver does in the aftershave!
Bamboo Charcoal or Activated Charcoal is the second part of this super slurry power-pack! Not only is it thematic to what we are going for here in our homage to this epic, Amazonian mud, but it also adds to the already most awesome performance of our CK-6 Formula. When combined with this base and colloidal clay it creates an unstoppable mud slide of Slick!
Know Your Roots
Each bottle of Terra Preta contains clippings of the Indian Vetiver Plant, that not only add a thematic, otherworldly visual element, but also in time, a depth to the aftershave/cologne through a slow tincturing process, set at a steady rate by the addition of the Vetiver Hydrosol.
The root is first soaked in the hydrosol to swell up and reconstitute the root so that when added to the alcohol it may better penetrate into the cellular tissue and absorb more of the aroma.
What Is Terra Preta?
Terra Preta or Amazonian Dark Earth (ADE) is really something special when it comes to our human history on this planet and real signs of ancient tech! That's right, it's highly probable that this particular soil was created by ancient scientists over 8000 years ago! It was through the creation of this super fertile, regenerative soil that South America was able to support all the ancient cities it once did before the Europeans crashed the party!
Though Terra Preta was once a controversial idea, more and more scientists are in agreement these days, thanks to the most recent introduction of Airborn LIDAR Archeology! Previously undiscovered settlements that once house over a million people are popping up everyday! And what supported these communities? Terra Preta or Farming, a condition that would need to pre-date these large populations.
Terra Preta is so amazing and fertile that it is still in use all over the Amazon to this date!
