Odin After Shave Balm — The Strength of the North. The Warmth of the East.
Odin. The Allfather — ancient, commanding and endlessly complex. A name that carries the weight of legend and the warmth of something that has endured for centuries. This after shave balm was made in that spirit: quietly powerful, deeply considered and entirely its own.
The shave is only half the story. What you put on after matters just as much — and most after shave balms don’t come close to doing the job properly. Odin is a vegan after shave balm for men that was made to change that.
Formulated with a skin-first ingredient philosophy and fragranced with the warm, masculine oriental accord of Odin, this post shave balm for men soothes, repairs and nourishes in equal measure — leaving the skin calm, hydrated and genuinely cared for. No sting. No tightness. Just skin that feels as good as it looks — and a fragrance of quiet authority that settles into the skin and stays.
The Ingredients — And Why They Matter
5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
One of the most well-researched active ingredients in skincare. At 5%, niacinamide visibly reduces redness and post-shave irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, minimises the appearance of pores, and helps even skin tone over time. It is the ingredient your post shave balm routine has been missing.
1% Allantoin
A gentle, clinically proven skin-soother derived from botanical sources. Allantoin accelerates skin cell renewal, calms razor burn and irritation on contact, and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable immediately after shaving. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) Resin Oil
One of the most prized ingredients in natural skincare. Frankincense oil has well-documented anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerating properties, helping to calm post-shave redness and support healthy, resilient skin over time. Its ancient, resinous warmth sits naturally alongside the oriental depth of the Odin accord.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Light Coconut Oil)
A lightweight, fast-absorbing emollient derived from coconut. It delivers deep hydration without greasiness, leaving the skin soft and comfortable without any residue.
Vitis vinifera (Grapeseed) Seed Oil
Rich in linoleic acid and antioxidants, grapeseed oil is one of the lightest and most skin-compatible oils available. It absorbs quickly, supports the skin barrier and helps protect against environmental stressors.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
A powerful antioxidant that soothes, protects and conditions the skin. Vitamin E helps neutralise free radicals, supports healing and keeps the skin feeling nourished throughout the day.
Glycerine (Veg)
A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and locks it in. Glycerine keeps the skin hydrated and supple long after the after shave balm has been applied.
The Fragrance
Applied to freshly shaved skin, Odin opens with a clean, citrus brightness that is immediately inviting. Bergamot, lemon and orange blossom arrive together — fresh, slightly floral and effortlessly elegant. As the balm absorbs, the heart begins to emerge: jasmine brings a warm, heady floral depth; violet adds a soft, powdery coolness; lily contributes a clean, green freshness. Coumarin weaves through the heart with a warm, slightly sweet, almost hay-like character that gives Odin its distinctive oriental warmth and makes the floral notes feel grounded rather than airy. The base is where Odin settles into the skin and reveals its true character — woods, amber and patchouli building a warm, earthy, resinous foundation; vanilla adding a soft, creamy sweetness that makes the whole accord feel intimate and enduring.

What is niacinamide and why is it in an aftershave balm?
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is one of the most well-researched active ingredients in skincare. At 5%, it visibly reduces redness and irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, minimises pores and helps even skin tone over time. Shaving is a form of mild exfoliation that can leave the skin reactive and vulnerable — niacinamide is exactly the right ingredient to apply immediately after.
What is allantoin?
Allantoin is a gentle, clinically proven skin-soother derived from botanical sources. It accelerates skin cell renewal, calms razor burn and irritation on contact, and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. It is particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin.
What does Odin smell like?
Odin is a warm, masculine oriental fragrance of elegant complexity. Bergamot, lemon and orange blossom open with a clean, citrus-floral brightness. The heart builds into a warm floral accord of jasmine, violet and lily, warmed and deepened by coumarin — the ingredient that gives Odin its distinctive oriental character. The base of woods, amber, patchouli and vanilla creates a warm, earthy, resinous foundation that is enduring and unmistakably masculine.
What is coumarin and why is it in Odin?
Coumarin is a naturally occurring aromatic compound found in tonka bean, sweet clover and other botanicals. In perfumery, it contributes a warm, slightly sweet, hay-like richness that is the hallmark of the great oriental fragrance tradition. It is the ingredient that gives Odin its warmth and depth — bridging the fresh citrus opening and the woody oriental base with a character that is both distinctive and deeply wearable.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — the formula has been designed with sensitive skin in mind. Niacinamide and allantoin are both well-tolerated by sensitive skin types. The balm is paraben-free and free from harsh synthetic additives. If you have a known allergy to any of the listed ingredients, please check the full INCI list before use.
Is the Odin After Shave Balm vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — completely. 100% vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free, formulated without any animal-derived ingredients and never tested on animals. Handcrafted in small batches in the UK by Hazel Glow.
Citrus. Floral. Warmly Oriental.
Odin opens with bergamot, lemon and orange blossom — clean, bright and immediately elegant. This is a fragrance that begins with confidence rather than drama, the kind of opening that feels effortless and entirely considered. The citrus is fresh without being sharp, the orange blossom adding a soft, floral warmth that hints at what is to come.
The heart is where Odin reveals its true character. Jasmine arrives with a warm, heady depth. Violet adds a soft, powdery coolness that is quietly distinctive. Lily brings a clean, green freshness that lifts the accord. And then coumarin — warm, slightly sweet, with an almost hay-like richness that is the signature of the great oriental fragrances. It is coumarin that gives Odin its warmth, its depth and its unmistakably masculine character.
The base is where Odin settles into the skin and stays. Woods build a quiet, enduring structure. Amber glows with a deep, resinous warmth. Patchouli adds an earthy, slightly smoky depth. Vanilla makes it intimate — soft, creamy and entirely yours. What remains hours later is the scent of something ancient, warm and quietly commanding.
Odin is for those who understand that true authority needs no announcement. It simply endures.

How to Use Odin After Shave Balm
After shaving, rinse the face thoroughly with cool water to close the pores and remove any remaining shave cream. Pat the skin dry gently with a clean towel — do not rub. Take a small amount of the balm and warm between the palms, then press gently into the skin using upward strokes. Allow to absorb fully before applying any additional skincare or fragrance.
For Best Results
- Apply to clean, freshly shaved skin while still slightly damp — this helps the glycerine and niacinamide lock in moisture more effectively
- A small amount goes a long way — start with a pea-sized amount and build if needed
- Use daily as part of your Odin grooming ritual
- Follow with the Odin Eau de Parfum for a complete, layered masculine oriental scent experience
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
