Lewis: The One Scottish Beard Oil You Need to Try Next
Inspired by the Isle of Lewis, this is one of the most distinctive scents in our Highland beard care range. More importantly, it is one of those beard oils that is genuinely difficult to compare with anything else.
Lewis is beautiful, sweet and unusual. Pink Grapefruit and Bergamot give it a bright, uplifting freshness, while Ylang Ylang brings a softer floral warmth that changes the whole character of the scent. Together they create something almost bubblegum-like, but in a completely natural way.
There is no synthetic fragrance trying to imitate sweetness; it comes entirely from the pure essential oils themselves.
It is the kind of scent that makes you open the bottle again simply because you want another smell.
Think wild Atlantic air and those enormous blue Hebridean skies that seem to stretch forever. The landscape can be rugged and exposed, yet on a clear day there is an extraordinary brightness to the island, particularly where the Atlantic meets pale beaches and huge open skies.
That is the side of Lewis this scent captures.
It isn't dark, smoky or heavily woody. It doesn't smell like a traditional aftershave and it doesn't try to be another familiar cedarwood beard oil. The Pink Grapefruit and Bergamot keep it bright and fresh, while the Ylang Ylang gives it a beautiful sweetness underneath. The result feels light, luxurious and slightly unexpected.
That is probably why Lewis has become one of my personal favourites.
Lewis genuinely stands apart. It has a character of its own, and if your collection is already full of woods, spices and darker fragrances, this is the bottle that gives you something completely different.
The Isle of Lewis sits on Scotland's Atlantic edge in the Outer Hebrides, and places like this are a huge part of the inspiration behind Hairy Highlander.
Lewis Beard Oil combines that scent with our natural conditioning blend of Golden Jojoba, Castor and Meadowfoam oils, helping to soften the beard and care for the skin beneath it.
The same Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot and Ylang Ylang scent is also available across Lewis Beard Balm, beard butter and beard wash if you want to carry the fragrance through the rest of your beard care.
If you are looking for a Scottish beard oil and want your next one to be something you haven't smelled a dozen times before, Lewis is the one I would try.
Lewis might just become your new favourite.
