MacDuffs Soap Co. Hallowed Sky Aftershave Splash is a Halloween-inspired fragrance that explores the contrast between decay and unexpected sweetness. Rotting pumpkin flesh, decaying leaves, and aging wood establish an atmospheric autumn opening, while peach and violet bring a brighter, softer character through the darker notes.
Black currant, vanilla, and coconut introduce additional sweetness before sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, and vetiver provide an earthy, woody foundation. Tonka bean adds warmth and depth to a fragrance designed to hover between bright and dark.
Best For: Wet shavers looking for an unconventional Halloween or autumn fragrance featuring pumpkin flesh without traditional pumpkin spice notes.

A Word from the Manufacturer
Hallowed Sky continues MacDuffs Soap Co.'s “Sky” series with a fragrance inspired by the magic and mystery of Halloween night. The composition explores the idea of decay revealing unexpected beauty, pairing unsettling autumnal notes with contrasting fruit, sweetness, woods, and earth.
Rotting pumpkin flesh and decaying leaves establish the Halloween atmosphere, while aging wood recalls forgotten cellars and weathered spaces. Peach and violet weave through these darker elements, helping bridge the unusual notes of decay with the sweeter side of the fragrance.
Black currant, vanilla, and coconut add richness, while sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, and vetiver provide an earthy foundation. Tonka bean completes the composition with additional warmth and depth.
Sean's Notes: Hallowed Sky was created as an attempt at a pumpkin fragrance with zero spice notes. Instead of a traditional pumpkin-spice direction, the fragrance focuses on pumpkin flesh paired with peach. The result is not particularly heavy and sits between bright and dark.
Directions for Use
After shaving, rinse the face with cool water and pat dry. Apply a small amount of aftershave splash to the palms and gently massage or pat onto the freshly shaved area. Allow the splash to dry naturally and the fragrance to develop on the skin.
