The Strategist - Leather & Tobacco Beard Butter

Smells really good but doesn't do much to tame or shape shorter beards. Might be better suited for longer beards.

I stumbled on to Fable Beard looking for a leather fragrance in balm, or oil. I found the Strategist. I ordered the butter because it was a larger quantity than the balm (the size I buy from other companies), the price being a little cheaper than the balm and this was a test to see if I even liked the brand. Well, I am happy to say, I love it. The fragrance is really nice but not overwhelming. The constancy is really nice but not greasy once applied, to a point of course. I mean it IS oils and IS called butter, so there’s that. But not unpleasant. In fact I would say compared to my usual brand, it doesn’t feel oily as far into the day. I do wish the fragrance lasted a bit longer but I’m sure it’s a balance. I will probably experiment with quantity to maybe get the fragrance lasting and may be why it's not really feeling like it's there by the end of the day.

Mine came with a free surprise gift that turned out to be a really nice citrus oil I use on the weekends when I’m not really doing much with my beard. It’s a really nice quality and fragrance as well. Overall I’m happy I found Fable Beard, the products I have used so far and look forward to trying others.

One thing I will say as a bit of constructive criticism to the company I found a bit over the top was the number of marketing emails I got from them before my order was even processed and shipped. In those 3 days prior to shipping, I bet I received no less that 10 emails telling me about some product or seasonal new item.

Dial back the email storm, especially before people even receive their order.

Love the products!

I bought this one year for my hubs and now will never use anything else. As soon as he puts it on lets just say it revs my engine lol! He smells so delicious allday long. He loves it too. He uses the butter and the oil.

The beard butter feels great in my beard and keeps it very soft. The scent has a strong leather profile with weak notes of tobacco. The scent is nice but I was expecting more of a tobacco presence mixed in the butter. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

If your looking for a product that will last all day and not loose hold or scent this the one for you. I have tried many other products but this is my favorite going forward. Also my wife loves the way it smells.
