Pirouette Men’s Wild Spruce Gift Set

This post is made possible by Pirouette.^[*]

In the past few years, my husband’s facial hair has seen more changes than my hair {style and color} has. I like that he is not afraid to change things up! Most recently, he has re-embraced being clean shaven. He has also grown to be particular with what he uses on his face {I am sure most women can appreciate, if not relate to this}.

When I heard about a Seattle-based company that made all natural, vegan, cruelty free shaving sets and soaps, I was curious! Pirouette hand creates luxurious bath and body items with pure ingredients {organic botanicals and Shea butter to name a couple}. Pirouette was in the 2013 Artisan Fragrance Salon Awards, winning Best Ingredient Combinations for the perfume category. After browsing the Pirouette website, I decided on the Men’s Wild Spruce Gift Set for The Mister. It includes: 3 oz Shaving Soap and 5ml Cologne Oil.

Wild Spruce Shaving Soap
My husband has a shaving ritual routine. He has his grandfather’s straight razor that he loves. Every morning he takes time to prepare the blade, showers, and then shaves.

I love hearing the sound of the blade running down the razor strop {a leather belt used to straighten and polish the blade} in the morning… I know I will kiss a smooth face when he leaves for work! I’ve been taking in an extra whiff since he started using the Wild Spruce Shaving Soap. It smells amazing.

I also had lather envy while watching him shave recently {something I wouldn’t normally do}. This shaving soap creates an impressively rich lather!

Wild Spruce and Tobacco Cologne Oil
Imagine the ability to capture a rugged, yet refined man and put him in cologne form. Pirouette nailed it. I think it is balanced perfectly. Woodsy, spicy, smoky, and to be honest – I find the combination of his freshly shaven face and the Wild Spruce and Tobacco cologne to be enchanting. But that could also be because my husband is wearing it. *wink* All he needs is a little on his pulse points and he is good to go!

The Mister’s Thoughts:

I like this. I will definitely buy this set again when I run out. The shaving soap and cologne both have a manly scent. Not manly to the point of obnoxiousness – it is just right!

While putting our thoughts together for our review, he asked if Pirouette made other shaving items. He would like to see a pre-shave oil and an after shave that complemented the Wild Spruce and Tobacco gift set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so excited about shaving… Clearly, Pirouette’s use of quality ingredients, knowledge of aromatics, and attention to detail has found a new customer!
