Scent Profile
-
Top Notes: Pine Needle, Elemi, Cumin & Coriander
-
Middle Notes: Frankincense, Patchouli & Tobacco
-
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Amber
The Expedition Reserve opens with Pine Needle and Elemi, grounded by the warm spice of Cumin and Coriander. Frankincense and Patchouli deepen the heart, with Tobacco adding quiet intrigue. The dry-down settles into Sandalwood and Amber - warm, smooth, and lasting. Subtle in a hair powder format, but unmistakably the Captain's.
Key Ingredients
-
Silica Silylate - A lightweight, treated silica that absorbs excess oil at the roots, adds texture and grip to the hair shaft, and delivers the powder's characteristic volumising effect without heaviness.
-
Ethyltrimonium Chloride Methacrylate / Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Copolymer - A conditioning film-former that combines the strengthening benefits of hydrolyzed wheat protein with a light hold component, improving hair texture and resilience with use.
-
Monopropylene Glycol - A humectant that helps the formula maintain a smooth, workable consistency and supports even distribution through the hair.
How To Use
Pepper a small amount directly onto dry roots or into the palms and rake through the hair. Build gradually - a little goes a long way. Add more as needed for additional lift and texture. Re-work throughout the day as desired. Washes out easily with your regular shampoo.
Why MASC Recommends This
Hair powder is one of those products that earns instant converts the first time it's used properly - the lift and texture it adds in seconds is genuinely difficult to achieve with any other format. Captain Fawcett's Expedition Reserve version brings the added benefit of the brand's most celebrated fragrance in a compact, travel-ready 20g tin. The award recognition across three consecutive years from Pure Beauty and Cosmoprof Bologna confirms what the formula delivers. Available at MASC in 20g.
