Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How strong is the scent?
The scent is strong and distinctive. Many reviewers describe it as a complex, foresty, and musky aroma that lingers throughout the day. Several note it's memorable and unusual, with one reviewer calling it "otherworldly." A small minority found it too strong for personal preference, but most customers actively seek it out for repeat purchases.
Does it really hold a beard in place?
Yes. Reviewers consistently praise the hold as "unbeatable" and "perfect," noting it keeps facial hair styled without a heavy, glued-in feel. The product creates enough tack to frame and shape the beard, and once washed out, the hair "sets" and requires minimal product to maintain the new shape.
How thick is the wax consistency?
It's on the thicker, more substantial end of the spectrum. Multiple reviewers note it requires warming between the hands or rubbing to reach a spreadable consistency, but they view this as a strength rather than a drawback, preferring it to a thinner formula.
How much product do you need per application?
A little goes a long way. Reviewers note that used sparingly it creates a natural-looking result, and once the hair is set after the first application, very little product is needed to maintain the style on subsequent days.
Can it be used as a solid perfume?
Yes. The product description notes it can be rubbed from the fingers and applied to wrists, neck, hair, or scalp for an enchanting aroma. Several reviewers appreciate the unique scent for its standalone appeal as well.
Does it work well under masks?
Yes. One long-term customer specifically noted it "stands up to mask wearing," suggesting it maintains hold and scent even in that environment.
What are the main ingredients?
The product is made from lanolin, fresh beeswax, vitamin E, frankincense, castor oil, spruce sap, castoroleum, muskrat musk, and oak moss absolute. It features a resin base of fresh spruce sap and is formulated with lanolin, castor oil, and vitamin E to soften, nourish, and protect facial hair.
Is the scent suitable for everyone?
The scent is polarizing. While the vast majority of customers love the masculine, musky, foresty aroma, a small number found it too strong or simply didn't enjoy the particular fragrance profile. Scent preference is personal, so sample or read detailed reviews if you're sensitive to strong or unconventional fragrances.
My partner describes the fragrance of Northern Allure Wax as masculine, sexy and aphrodisiac. I have to agree.


It has a soft, deep masculine aroma with a warm and understated musk that blends easily with one's own body scent, lending it a comforting and inviting aroma.

The fragrance is of the forest. Not of one particular tree or resident, but of the presence, the timeless intelligence that is the forest.

Northern Allure Wax has one of those scents that will keep us and others coming back for another inhalation. It can easily be used as a solid perfume by rubbing the fingers in the wax and applying it to wrists, neck and even to hair or scalp for an enchanting aroma.

With a resin base of fresh spruce sap, this wax has a perming effect on hair.
It has just enough tack to tame stray hairs and "frame" a beard giving it the desired silhouette.
It blends easily with beard oils and keeps its fragrance long into the day.

Northern Allure Wax helps highlight a beard's natural waves, ripples and colour variations while shaping it to your preference.

After working the wax into the hair, one can style with a brush or one's fingers and leave it for the day. Once it is washed out with warm water and mild soap the hair is "set" and requires very little wax to maintain its new shape. This also means the hair looks naturally contoured and not stiff from wax.

Used sparingly it creates a look that is natural and not held in place with a heavy layer of wax. If you feel you have applied too much in one spot, a dab of beard oil combed through will help blend and disperse it evenly.

With a perfect balance of Lanolin, Castor oil and Vitamin E., Northern Allure Wax softens, nourishes and protects facial hair with each application.

Tree resins have a secret power the ancients knew well and used to their advantage. Resins such as Frankincense, Pine and Spruce have the ability to gently and naturally "Perm" our hair, requiring very little product to maintain the style and shape of facial hair.

A complex and deep scent. Didn't realize the wax wouldn't suit me personally and I should have bought a balm if there was one.
