Sloss Rat Beard Oil

Forged in fire and shadow, Sloss Rat captures the raw spirit of Birmingham’s iconic Sloss Furnaces. This scent is an industrial symphony—dark, metallic, and intoxicating—where grit meets refinement.

The opening strikes with earth, salt, and smoke, evoking the heavy air of the ironworks at full blaze. Charcoal, steel, and iron grind together, giving a sharp mineral edge that feels both primal and powerful. As the fire cools, warmth rises: sweet tobacco and bourbon swirl in, smooth yet rugged, recalling the nightcap after a long shift. Finally, a touch of blackberry and toasted vanilla softens the steel, adding a ghost of sweetness that lingers like sparks fading into the dark.

Sloss Rat is not a scent for the faint of heart—it’s a tribute to the workers, the fire, and the iron bones of Birmingham itself. Industrial. Smoky. Bold. With just enough sweetness to remind you there’s beauty in the grit.
