ANYBODY WITH TATTOOS NEEDS THIS PRODUCT!!
First of all, the packaging and smell are all top notch 👌 THE OIL: The oil is decent. It’s a little bit shiny for my liking but it does all the things it’s supposed to like hydrating my skin and softening my beard. It doesn’t leave behind a lasting residue which I like. HOWEVER, what it does to tattoos is unreal, it makes my 10 year old tattoos look brand new like the day I got them. I’ve put other oils on my tattoos before because I’ve heard it helps, but this eighteen21 stuff is playing on ‘god mode’ because i didn’t even realize my tattoos could still look this fresh after all these years. Plus the smell is great and wear linger just long enough to leave you satisfied and not annoyed PACKAGING: I mean come on!! I love the little oil can design! the 2 fl. Oz is the perfect size for its shape, and it comes with a plastic flow insert to regulate the flow of oil. That way you only get a drop at a time, and if you knock it over, it won’t spill. Which For anybody who has knocked over a bottle of beard oil, you know how clutch this nozzle sounds. THE SMELL: It’s a great smelling OUD smell, just as you’d expect. So it smells like a nice dark cologne. For anyone Familiar with it. This is most likely your typical artificial OUD. So it’s a bit on the sweeter side of musky, and in heavy doses (like smelling it out of the bottle as opposed to a drop at a time) smells on the vanilla side of things, but in the small amounts like you’d use for your beard that’s when the real woody musk tones come out. Overall it smells outstanding, just don’t use too much

Good Stuff
I primarily use this product for my hair. Feels kind of weird getting it on (for me at least); but once you do, it feels/ smells great. I have pretty thick wavy hair so I do have to use quite a bit of the stuff to distribute throughout all of my hair. It does feel a bit sticky and heavy at 1st, but after a while the oil settles and hydrates my hair and makes it very smooth and soft to the touch while adding a medium shine to it. If I combine it with some 18.21 Hair Wax, I look like John Travolta lol. Downsides is that you do have to make sure to rinse out at the end of the day or it may start to make your hair look like you haven't showered in days. Other drawback is that due to the weight of the oil, it may make your hair look thinner (unless that's something you want) which is why I would at other times combine it with Wax or Clay to give it some more fluff by using a little bit of the oil as a 2nd coating. All in all, it's a good product. And I absolutely love the aesthetics of the tin can.

I use it for the smells
I really enjoy this brand. I’ve tried almost all of them. I love this one and the sweet tobacco in the winter. The spiced vanilla smells pretty close if not identical to spicebomb cologne and the creamo spiced vanilla. I will say. I use it on my body and a little in the hair. I don’t have a beard. I’m here for the smells. Last. I find it does last a while. I only use like five to six drops a day though. So to me the money is worth it.

Oud version has a nice low key manly scent
I'm pleasantly surprised by the 1821 Oud. During the winter months, after a shower and shave, this replenishes the oil in my dry cracked skin. Even works well for my cracked lips. Leaves a very low key musky scent behind that almost reminds me of the best parts of WD-40 but way better. Real Oud essential oil is probably worth $20k an ounce. I've never smelled real Oud, but this stuff is pretty good so I don't know what to compare it to. The oil itself is on the thick side. I haven't tried it on my tatoo. Maybe I'll give that whirl. I want to try the tobacco scent too.

18:21 is out of their mind with the price
I loved this when I bought it for $14.99! I just came back to buy more because I am nearly empty and the price has doubled? This is great beard oil, but way too expensive. I’m a fan of Layrite if anyone is looking for a more appropriately priced product.

Doesn't smell like a Yankee Candle store. Huge win.
Most beard oils smell like someone dropped a pine tree into a vanilla latte — you put it on and spend the day questioning your choices. This one has an actual subtle, clean scent that dissipates appropriately and doesn't compete with whatever you're wearing. It absorbs fast, leaves no greasy residue on your hands or your face, and the skin under the beard actually stays in decent shape. I've tried four or five products in this category. I've restocked this one.

grooming essential!
This product is absolutely fantastic. After shaving, it leaves my face feeling silky smooth—no irritation, no dryness, just clean, hydrated skin that feels amazing. It’s also a lifesaver when I’m growing out my beard. Just a few drops work wonders as beard oil, instantly calming the itch and keeping the skin underneath moisturized. The scent is subtle and pleasant, and it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. Whether I’m clean-shaven or rocking a beard, this has become a staple in my routine. If you’re looking for something that delivers both post-shave comfort and beard care, this is a 5-star winner!

Perfect with some tweaking.
Okay so! Interesting product! Smells amazing, personally needs to be thinned down a touch. I use jojoba and argan oils 50/50 and then throw a little of this in there and it's perfect.

Oil is good quality, Noble Oud is a little too powdery for my taste though.
Pretty good. Has a nice thick viscosity (almost like bar oil) and makes the beard shine. The Noble Oud is a little too powdery for my taste but it looks/feels/smells high quality. -1 star for personal preference. Sweet Tobacco smells like a nice pipe tobacco - not cheap smelling which is fantastic, also great price.

5-Star Formula in a 3-Star Container
18.21 Man Made Hair, Skin & Beard Oil is a genuine game-changer. Even in the short time I’ve been using it, I’ve noticed a huge difference: my beard is significantly softer with much less "beardruff," and my skin feels hydrated instead of itchy. The Noble Oud scent is fantastic—rich and sophisticated without being overpowering. The only drawback is the packaging. The oil tends to pool on top of the container after use, making it a bit messy and difficult to use every last drop. If they fixed the bottle design, it would be perfect. I've found that keeping a boar bristle brush nearby helps with the pooling, but the oil itself is so good for my beard and skin that I'm willing to deal with the bottle.

Tames your beard and mustache
It’s not as good smelling as the 1821 Clay but it works well on your beard and shines up your tattoos. It helps the wild hairs lay down on your beard and brings a sheen to it also.

Very thick oil
I really enjoy the scent of the oil. I want to like it but the oil is really thick and so it is very difficult to really work it into your beard as it wants to just stay together. It does the job and smells great but I find myself reaching for other beard oils due to the consistency of this.

Wrong scent in can.
I purchased the sweet tobacco scent. It does not smell anything like other tobacco themed beard oils. I think it may have been mislabeled from one of their other products. Maybe it is the noble oud scent which I don't really like. It is a thick oil which I don't have a problem with. It would have been nice to get the correct product. I will not be buying this brand again.
