Autumn Glory was a blind buy based on some recommendations and reviews. I can't say that I regret it either. It's a wonderful scent to usher in the Fall season. Samhain is one of my all-time favorite Autumn scents. This is my version of the PSL.

Sep 7, 2023 - Sample September: Propaganda
- Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
- Brush: Chisel & Hound Fu Dao Flare 26mm V20 Fanchurian
- Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Plus
- Blade: Voskhod [8]
- Lather: Dr. Jon's Shaving Soap Co. - Propaganda - Soap (Vegan)
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Splash
- Fragrance: Lubin - Akkad - Eau de Parfum
I found out how great Propaganda smelled all too late. Dr. Jon's had already closed up shop and retailers were selling out of their discounted items. Vanilla, mandarin, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk make this a stand out scent. Followed up with Fú Dào, which adds some additional complexity, namely with the spicy ginger and firecracker, to the established mandarin and sandalwood notes.
The bold Drakkant razor provided a remarkable shave with Dr. Jon's wonderful vegan base.
