Nebula Captain Fawcett's 2024
5
Captain strikes again!
I have been using the Nebula beard oil for some time now and am currently on my third bottle. Therefore, I was all the more excited about the perfume - which has finally hit the market, albeit with a significant delay from the beard oil release.
Fortunately, my trusted barber recently set aside his last bottle for me (as the scent had already sold out in his shop within a few days) and I have been able to test the fragrance for a few weeks now. I must highlight the truly great packaging and the bottle (a feast for the eyes!) + the goodies included in the first limited batch (1000 pieces) of the release. We also receive a very stylish, high-quality Captain Fawcett pin made of stainless steel, as well as a guitar pick from John Petrucci as an extra. Additionally, there is a John Petrucci autograph on a nice certificate, all of which are numbered - so one can assume that this is indeed a limited edition.
The perfume smells, like the beard oil, definitely of warm, fresh, sweet popcorn - with a hint of coffee, a bit of chocolate, and rice cake, as well as a very gentle lavender note, but not at all in the fougere direction, rather JPG Le Male. The main difference between the beard oil and the perfume is that the perfume brings a very nice, powdery clean freshness into the top note. Similar to L'Homme by Prada, like freshly washed laundry. In my opinion, this combination is excellently done and makes the scent very wearable for all seasons and occasions.
By the way, the perfume easily lasts 8-10 hours and is definitely noticeable. Due to the powdery freshness kick in the top note, it is absolutely not "heavy," making it great for the office as well. Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is already outrageously good and it's a truly excellent release.
Important: Contrary to the description, I do not assume that production is being or will be discontinued. I would know this from my barber, who is good friends with Richie Finney, the founder of the Captain Fawcett brand. Only the limited edition (the first 1000 bottles) with the accompanying extras will not be produced again in this form. The scent should be available again in a few weeks, just without the goodies, autograph, certificate, etc.

Then I might take my time with buying the bottle. I'm testing it for the first time today thanks to a sample.
I really like how you integrated the story with your barber. Your information about the limitation of the special edition was very insightful and helpful for me!
