Not a fan of the scent but it works well!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023

Ive used this beard oil for over a week and have seen really good results. I tend to use it at night before bed so that my beard does not look so scandalous in the morning and also to reduce itching. What I have observed is that the oil is a wonderful skin moisturizer as well. The beard does look more managed but the key benefit for me is the moisture my skin gets under.

Whatever oil is left over on my hands, I just use it on my forehead and the rest of my face.

I was not a huge fan of the scent. It is not bad... but it does not smell like Pine/Cedar. At least not what I expect Pine/Cedar to smell like. Honestly, it smells more like unused motor oil. It does not smell bad, I just didn't like it as it was not what I was expecting. Luckly the smell is subtle, and I don't smell it after I apply it.

The product is of excellent quality and next time I will order a different scent. I do recommend it overall.

Carmel mocha

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023

Fast shipping, first off it's a very sweet,brown sugar, carmel ,pancake syrup smell for about 10 mins. I wouldn't say it's Carmel mocha off the back at all ... Needs more coffee smell ... Currently writing this as time is passing by with it in and getting different notes as it drys I guess I can say. As it calms down I can see where it gets the name
Carmel mocha... The sweet syrup smells calms down and the sweet Carmel mocha smell is more pronounced, a little goes a long way.. definitely carmel notes now and warm sugar ...another add to the holiday beard oil I've been buying over time. Woman will like this and yes your have a candy beard lol idk how long it will last I can give a follow up on it. It's been about 32 mins now since I tried it still there and smelling a bit calmer and great for fall time . I will say you are going to be smelling sweet lol it's not a bad thing but some guys are afraid of that lol. I get girls so it don't bother me. Don't expect a manly masculine smell. It's definitely like a holiday candle lol sweet, buttery,sugary ,carmely ,syrupy. About 42 mins now still going with the scent so it's probably decent for run time. For the fall months get it. Or holiday time

Scent is just the right amount of strength

Scent: Bourbon/SandalwoodSize: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I bought the Bourbon/Sandalwood. Was kind of flying blind as I never bought Beard Oil before -- went to Walmart yesterday just to smell what they had on the shelf there and I was worried about this stuff arriving because I hated every scent at Walmart. They were all way too smelly and I didn't like the scents. But this Grave Before Shave Bourbon/Sandalwood smells awesome and stays subtle, feels great in my beard, and seems to help tame it. Can't wait to see how things go over the next few days/weeks. Definitely need to try out more products from these guys.

Forget the "cigar" part of the marketing-for-men effort. This oil blend has a warm, cinnamon-vanilla scent that is exactly what I was looking for when I ran out of my locally sourced beard oil. It even has sweet almond oil as the first ingredient like my other oil, which gives it a rich texture. I will be buying this blend again.

Great scent!

Scent: Bay RumSize: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The scent is wonderful. I need this in a cologne. The only negative is that the scent doesn't last long and that it does turn after so many months. I was trying to use this sparingly to make it last longer, but in doing that, a lot was wasted because the oil turned kind of rancid and lost that pleasant scent. It wasn't usable after that. I'd does smell great for awhile though, so if you get it, just use it and use it quickly because it will go bad if you don't use it up fast enough. Just keep that in mind! Even though that happened, I do still want to buy it again. I thought about the 4oz bottle, but I'm not sure I could use it quickly enough before it would go bad. I'm a female and I use it as scented oil for my long hair. I can only use a small amount at a time so that I don't make my hair oily. I usually put it only on the ends where my hair is more dry. It adds a nice shine and scent!

Smells amazing, works very well

Scent: Bourbon/SandalwoodSize: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Scent: I love the smell of this beard oil, it’s the best out of all the ones I have. I have Every Man Jack Sandalwood, Beard Octane cold start and Dr.nicks amazing man stuff #7, and this beard oil smells the best imo. I am a big fan of woodsy (non cologne) scents and this one is amazing.

Feel in beard/on skin under beard: Feels great in my beard. It’s a thin oil rather than thick, so I do need to use a little bit more than some others but I vastly prefer a thin oil anyway. Thick makes my beard feel too greasy no matter how much I use, so this one is perfect for me in this regard. It also makes the skin underneath my beard feel hydrated and clean, so it works well.

Duration: The scent lasts for most of the day. It’s not obnoxious at all, it’s very subtle but I can definitely smell it when I try to. It isn’t strong like cologne which is good for me as I hate that, don’t want a headache from a strong smell all day. It’s just a subtle woodsy scent that lasts a while, exactly what I was looking for.

Ingredients: It’s as it says, all natural. Lots of great oils in there like Argan oil and Jojoba oil. Not much to say here, the ingredients are good. Some people may not react the same to certain things as others so definitely look through, it’s a very short list of ingredients as there’s nothing bad or unnatural in this.

Grave Before Shave. Never shaving again.

Scent: Bourbon/SandalwoodSize: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I'm a new and proud owner of a flavor saver. Lip Carpet. Face caterpillar and my purchase of the Beard and Mustache Oil from Grave Before Shave was worth every penny. I love the smell of their Bourbon blend. Should've let it cool off from sitting in the warm mail box but I couldn't wait any longer to marry this stuff to my mustache. If you're a mustachioed man or a wildman this oil is for you. This oil will have You saying phrases like " put'em up!" " Say When!" " I'm your huckleberry" and " You look like somebody just walked over your Grave.". In all seriousness I love this oil and I'll be a returning customer.

Best scent by this company in my opinion

This scent smells amazing and is hard to describe. Not sickening sweet and only a little bit of that tobacco smokey scent but it's truly a perfect balance. Not overpowering like the terrible mocha scent.
