Morning Wood vs The Original: Which Beard Oil Wins?
The Ultimate Showdown: Morning Wood vs The Original Unscented
You've narrowed it down to two of our bestselling beard oils, but which one deserves a spot in your grooming arsenal? Let's settle this once and for all.
Round 1: The Scent Experience
Morning Wood Beard Oil brings a bold, masculine fragrance that turns heads. With earthy cedarwood and real (that part is important) Australian Sandalwood notes, it's designed for the man who wants his beard to make a statement. Perfect for date nights, meetings, or any time you want that extra edge of confidence.
The Original Unscented is the purist's choice. Zero fragrance means it won't clash with your cologne, aftershave, or natural scent. Ideal for sensitive skin, scent-free workplaces, or blokes who prefer to let their personality do the talking.
Winner: Tie - depends entirely on your lifestyle and preferences.
Round 2: Performance & Ingredients
Both oils share our premium base formula featuring jojoba oil, argan oil, and almond oil to condition, soften, and protect your beard. You're getting the same nourishing benefits regardless of which you choose - reduced itch, tamed flyaways, and a healthy shine.
The only difference? Morning Wood includes our signature essential oil blend, while The Original keeps it pure and simple.
Winner: Tie - identical performance, different sensory experiences.
Round 3: Versatility
Morning Wood works best as your daily signature scent. Apply it in the morning and you're sorted - no need for additional fragrance. It's a complete grooming solution in one bottle.
The Original is the chameleon. Layer it under cologne, use it post-workout, apply it before bed - it fits seamlessly into any routine without competing for attention. It's also the go-to for blokes with fragrance sensitivities or those who work in scent-sensitive environments.
Winner: The Original (by a whisker) for pure adaptability.
Round 4: Value for Money
Both are priced identically and deliver the same number of applications per bottle. You're getting premium Australian-made beard care either way.
Winner: Tie - equal value, different experiences.
The Verdict
Here's the truth: there's no wrong choice. Your decision comes down to one simple question:
Do you want your beard oil to be part of your signature scent, or do you want it to work invisibly behind the scenes?
- Choose Morning Wood if you love a distinctive, masculine fragrance and want an all-in-one grooming solution
- Choose The Original if you prefer unscented products, have sensitive skin, or want maximum flexibility with your fragrance choices
