Death By Series I: Steininger Beard Oil

DEATH BY Series I: Steininger
Scent Profile: Sultry and complex. Notes of leather and smoke mix together, rounded out with a hint of vanilla.

The DEATH BY Series I: Steininger Beard Oil is inspired by the (true) dark history of Johann "Hans" Steininger.

Hans Steininger was a beloved 16th-century burgomaster (mayor) of Braunau am Inn. Much about his life and role as a leader remains unknown in the centuries since his death, but his incredible beard - which measured over four and a half feet long - remains on museum display in Austria.

In September of 1567, a large town fire broke out that caused a huge panic. Steininger usually kept his beard hair rolled up and stuffed inside a leather pouch, but neglected to do so in the chaos of the fire. While attempting to reach safety, he managed to step on his own beard, falling down a flight of stairs and breaking his neck. Modern lore calls it a case of "death by beard."
