Smell Great at the Table: Why Wandering Adventures Now Carries Lathr
If you've spent any real time in a game store, you already know where this is going. Tabletop gaming is a hobby built around shared spaces. We sit shoulder to shoulder at Warhammer 40K tournaments, lean over the same Pokemon and Flesh and Blood tables for hours, and pass cards, dice, and miniatures back and forth all night. Hygiene isn't a side topic in this community. It's part of the social contract. Showing up clean and smelling good is a sign of respect for everyone else at the table, the same way sleeving your cards is a sign of respect for the game.
That's why Wandering Adventures in Woodbridge is now carrying Lathr, a Canadian grooming brand that makes its products with natural oils and builds everything around one simple idea: smelling great shouldn't cost a fortune.
Lathr's colognes are the headline. They craft fragrances inspired by some of the most popular and expensive colognes on the market, the kind that normally run $200 to $400 a bottle, and they sell them for around $40. These aren't cheap knockoffs in a plastic bottle. They're made in small batches with quality natural oils, and the performance holds up. If you've ever wanted to smell like the guy wearing the designer bottle without paying designer prices, this is exactly that.
Alongside the colognes, we're stocking Lathr's natural soap bars and grooming products. Everything is made with natural oils rather than the harsh synthetic bases you find in big-box body wash, which matters if you're washing your hands a dozen times during a long tournament day or scrubbing hobby paint off your fingers after a painting session.
So why is a tabletop gaming store carrying cologne and soap? Because the connection is more natural than it first sounds.
Our whole hobby is about craftsmanship at an accessible price point. A pot of Citadel or AK Interactive paint costs a few dollars and lets you create something beautiful. A $40 bottle of quality cologne fits the exact same philosophy: real craft, real quality, no gatekeeping price tag. Lathr is a small independent maker doing things by hand in small batches, which is the fragrance world's version of an indie miniatures studio. Supporting them feels the same as supporting the small hobby brands we've always championed.
There's also the practical side. Game nights are long. Tournaments are longer. A pocket-sized cologne in your bag next to your dice and deck boxes is one of the easiest quality-of-life upgrades in the hobby. Your opponents will thank you. Your local game store definitely thanks you.
And one more thing. We didn't just pick Lathr off a shelf. We've been talking with the people behind the brand, and let's just say the conversation has gone well beyond stocking their existing lineup. There may or may not be something brewing that's built specifically for tabletop gamers, something you won't find anywhere else. That's all we're saying for now. If you want to be first to hear about it, keep an eye on our blog and socials.
In the meantime, come by Wandering Adventures at 7766 Martin Grove Rd, Unit 5 in Woodbridge and check out the Lathr lineup in person. Smell a few testers, grab a bar of soap, and pick up a bottle before your next tournament. Whether you're battling in the Vaughan area's most competitive Warhammer 40K events or just showing up for casual Commander night, you might as well smell like a legend doing it.
