The Barbershop Collection

There are certain scents that people don’t just like — they recognize them. The moment they smell them, they smile and say the same things:

“This smells like my grandad.”
“This smells like my dad’s aftershave.”
“This smells like a real barbershop.”

That’s exactly what inspired our Barbershop Collection — two fragrances that capture the unmistakable atmosphere of a traditional barber shop and the memories that come with it.

Both Bay & Blade and Classic Bay Rum are available as wax melts and as 7 oz tin candles, a smaller, travel-friendly candle poured into a reusable tin and finished with the Lost Wax logo on the lid.

Two Scents, One Memory

Though they’re different fragrances, Bay & Blade and Classic Bay Rum really belong to the same place.

Classic Bay Rum is the bolder of the two — warm, spicy, and unmistakably traditional. It’s the scent of bay rum aftershave from a glass bottle on the counter, the finishing splash at the end of a haircut. It’s confident, classic, and a little nostalgic in the best possible way.

Bay & Blade is softer and more atmospheric, thanks to the clean powdery talc note that instantly brings to mind warm shaving lather, fresh towels, and that final brush of powder at the back of the neck. Where Classic Bay Rum is the aftershave, Bay & Blade is the shop itself — the air, the ritual, the whole experience.

Together, they tell the full story.


Wax Melts and 7 oz Tin Candles

Both fragrances are available in two formats:

Wax Melts – Flameless, long-lasting and easy to use, and perfect for filling a room with fragrance.
7 oz Tin Candles – Compact, reusable, and ideal for smaller spaces, desks, or travel.

The tins are practical, familiar, and a little nostalgic themselves — the kind of container that feels right at home with fragrances like these.

Scent and Memory

More than almost any other fragrance family, barbershop scents seem to be tied to memory. People don’t just smell them — they remember them. A person, a place, a routine, a time in their life.

That’s what this collection is really about.

Bay & Blade and Classic Bay Rum aren’t just two new fragrances — they’re two pieces of a familiar place, and the memories that come with it.
