Review: The Bearded Rapscallion ‘The Racketeer’ Beard Oil
3 min readThe Bearded Rapscallion ‘The Racketeer’ Beard Oil has only gone and changed my mind about Clove oil.
I hate Clove, it is the one essential oil that will make me dislike a beard care product instantly and the reason that I am not fond of the pirate named oils. West Indies bay used in those products has Clove notes and so it’s always a no from me.
The Racketeer is a Sweet orange, Wild honey, Clove & Cinnamon scented oil and I instantly caught the clove and hastily I admit, I thought I wouldn’t like it. It was very hasty because the Clove works very well in this blend, in fact I will go as far as to say I think I really like the Clove oil in this beard oil.
I have never attempted to blend essential oils, however from testing over 200 products I realise that it is the part that requires the most skill. Certain brands are known for their perfect blending and it is easily messed up creating a confused scent or a scent where one or two oils are wiping out the rest.
The Bearded Rapscallion ‘The Racketeer’ Beard Oil has a beautiful sweet honey scent with a citrus aroma and the warmth and spicy notes finish it of perfectly and it wouldn’t be the same without that Clove.
I’m a Clove convert!
