I too used to love that scent. An old lady I knew gave me a bottle that had belonged to her late husband. So there was this vibe of vivid spice notes rising over and redeeming nostalgia and decay.
What a fantastic idea to renew an old frag from the past. Bay Rums and older after shaves formulated my love of fragrances back when I was a kid. I will always remember Hi Karate and the like. I will definitely have to check this one out - will you offer travel or sample sizes?
i always wanna do another mhead scent even tho i’m a swampscotian! lafayette’s house. the lighthouse. we do have rose atlantic which is very preston beach
Love Rose Atlantic so much - I’m on my third bottle. Reminds me of walking in the sand through beach roses to Brace Cove (I’m from Gloucester - hello, friend :)).
Great story. Thanks for sharing. I made a carnation centric perfume (with a nice hit of eugenol) recently as a gift and it reminded me of those old bay rum drugstore fragrances. It will be interesting to revisit them and smell your take too.
Honestly, old man’s neck is a fire name, and really fits with the mystery/whimsy of DSD. I am so excited to try this.
lemme know what ya think!

Duuude come on, Old Man’s Neck is brilliant 😂 I long for the name that could’ve been! Can’t wait to get my nose on this.
tis true. but wanted to go classic

Samples are coming, yeah

I (a North Shore MA native) would be so excited if you brought back Marblehead Reds. Please?
