Three or four drops of this one disappear into your beard instead of sitting on top of it, so nothing still looks wet an hour later. It opens on pear and cardamom, then goes somewhere beard oil almost never goes: melon and sea air over vetiver. If you have been putting on six drops, start here and use three.
The shine is the dose, not the oil
Beard oil goes greasy for one reason, which is volume. Hair and skin take up what they can hold almost at once, and everything past that stays on the surface catching light. Three or four drops disappear. Eight sit there.
Three drops, not six
Start at three, one for each side and one under the chin, and add a fourth only if your beard is past your collarbone. Do it on a damp beard rather than a dry one, because damp hair spreads oil further and you’ll need less of it. If you get it wrong, don’t rinse; comb it through and it’ll be gone by lunch.
What five months of beard oil costs
A 30 ml bottle holds roughly 600 drops. At three or four a day that’s five months, at six it’s about three, so a bottle works out somewhere between four and seven dollars a month.
A fresh scent nobody else is wearing
Melon and a clean sea-air note are hard to find in a beard oil at all, and that’s what you get here instead of the citrus most fresh scents open with.
- Top: pear, lentisk, ginger, cardamom
- Middle: melon, marine accord, cashmere wood
- Base: amber, vanilla, vetiver
If you want the woods and spice most beard oils are built on, they’re all in our eight beard oils. This is the one that isn’t.
How to use
Work three or four drops through a freshly washed beard, starting at the roots, then comb into shape.
