→ La Vanille Shave Soap
SHAVE COMPASS BEARING
A dark, leathery interpretation of Mousse de Saxe. Lavender and vanilla soften the composition while cedar and musk keep it anchored in the darker character of the base. Lavanille sits at the edge of Shadow & Smoke where it begins to give way to Fougère Forever.
ARTISAN DESCRIPTION
The vanillin in Lavanille may cause it to discolor animal hair shaving brushes. Use of a dedicated brush or a synthetic-fiber shaving brush is recommended.
Some time ago, Barrister and Mann® had the extraordinary fortune to obtain a sample of the discontinued, leathery perfume base Mousse de Saxe. Armed with only this small sample and historical records of what went into the original, we set out to re-create the famous design by smell alone. After four months of research, formulation, reformulation, and constant refinement, we successfully rebuilt Mousse de Saxe into its original glory. It seemed only fitting that such an achievement should be used to create a soap inspired by some of the greatest masculine fragrances of all time.
We blend our version of Mousse de Saxe with lavender, vanilla, cedar, and the elegant musk Exaltolide to create the perfect pairing for our Lavanille shaving soap.
