Cologne

Cologne in the same scents as your beard oil, made for the hours after the oil has faded. Layer the two together, or wear this one alone.

Your beard oil fades by mid-afternoon. Cologne is for the hours after that.

Every scent on this shelf is one you may already know from the beard care side of the shop. Black Anchor brings blue lotus, aged woods, and light musk. Cutter is cognac, hazelnut, and praline. Dead Reckoning runs wild blueberry, dark rum, and black amber. Rugged Outlaw is leather, bourbon, and tobacco, and Blackbeard is tobacco vanilla with sweet leather. All of it comes in one-ounce bottles, mixed in small batches in Land O' Lakes, Florida.

Matching the two is the point. Put on the beard oil in the morning, add the cologne before you head out for the night, and they carry each other instead of fighting. You can also buy the same scent as a butter, if you want the heaviest version of it.

Wear it on its own if your beard is short, or if you don't keep one at all. Nobody checks.

If you're buying blind, start with the scent you already wear in oil, and let the bottle do the rest.
