MacDuffs Soap Co. - Candy Cane Lane - Aftershave Splash

Candy Cane Lane is our interpretation of a cherished Edmonton Christmas tradition, where residents of the Crestwood neighbourhood display extravagant Christmas decorations that attract visitors from the entire city. 

The scent opens with the crisp chill of peppermint leaves and eucalyptus dives, capturing the frosty air of a cozy evening stroll.

A heart of vanilla bean adds creamy warmth, enhanced by subtle whispers of cocoa and benzoin for an indulgent, confectionary sweetness. Musk, tonka bean and smooth creamy woods create a sophisticated base, while a touch of sugar evokes the sparkle of twinkling lights.

Sean’s Notes: This is the spiritual successor to my Candy Cane scent, which was a more literal interpretation of the candy cane. Candy Cane Lane shares many of the same notes but is a touch sweeter and features a more prominent base of musk, tonka bean and a hint of oud.

About Their Splash

• Alcohol free witch hazel and aloe vera based splash
• Organic Jojoba oil and glycerine help the skin retain moisture (emollient).
• Uses Olivem, which is a water-soluble fat with sebum recovering activities (sebum is the oily, waxy substance produced by your body’s sebaceous glands). Olivem has strong emolliency and lubricant properties that offers a distinctive skin smoothness and long-term moisturizing effects.
• DL-Panthenol, or Vitamin B5 is used to rehydrate dry, damaged skin
• Hydrolyzed Oat Protein* and silk peptides enhance the moisturizing properties of their splash and imparts a velvet-like smoothness after drying.
• Allantoin is widely used in cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical formulations for its soothing and anti-irritating properties. Allantoin stimulates healthy, normal tissue formation even at low concentrations.
• Grapefruit Seed Extract and Vitamin E are antioxidants that extend the life of their splash, but also have beneficial moisturizing properties.
• White Willow Bark is an astringent.
• All of their fragrance oils are paraben and phthalate free.
• As this is a water based product, they must use preservative to keep their aftershave splash free from bacteria and mould.
