HAGS Artisan- Return of the Mean One II Aftershave Balm

Return of the Mean One II Aftershave Balm

Deep in the snowy mountains, when the wind screams and the lights of Christmas flicker across the valley, a shadow moves again.
The villagers swore he was gone… but they were wrong.
Because on the coldest night of December, the Mean One returns.

Wrapped in a stolen Santa coat and wearing a grin sharp enough to cut through ice, he creeps back into town — not for presents… but for revenge, mischief, and irresistible desserts.

As he prowls through the glowing streets, a warm trail follows him: Vanilla Cream and glowing Amber Woods, swirling like the first breath of a holiday feast. He stops by a window, steam rising from a tray of cookies — buttery, chocolate-drizzled, dusted with winter spice — and a soft hint of lavender floats through the cracks.

Unable to resist, he slips inside a living room glowing with the fire’s amber light. A plate of sweets rests on the table… and a glass of bourbon sits beside the fireplace, waiting for someone who will never know it’s missing.
He settles into the armchair like he owns the place — sipping, snacking, and smirking — bathing in the warmth of a Christmas Eve he was never invited to.

This scent is our own creation — crafted to capture that nostalgic sweetness, those stolen Christmas treats, and the warm, wicked comfort of a firelit holiday night.

He can’t help himself.
He takes everything.

With each step deeper into the night, the scent grows darker and richer — Dark Vanilla, Smoked Wood Amber, and sweet balsamic warmth melting together like Christmas gone wicked. He leaves the village in a haze of sweetness and smoke, a fragrance so addictive it almost forgives his crimes.

Almost.

Because this year…
he’s not here to steal Christmas.
He’s here to reclaim it.

Bigger. Badder. Meaner.
And far more delicious than anyone expected.
