Lemon comes through first, sharp and clean with a real bitterness in the rind, and it is the material that makes the whole thing smell like morning. Sage sits behind it, dry and herbal with a cool, faintly camphorous edge. Elemi adds resin and a bright, almost pine like sharpness. Basil finishes the list, green and cool with a trace of aniseed. Four materials and no base, which suits a product that gets rinsed off a few minutes after it goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn use the scent matters less than the lather, but it is not incidental either. A citrus and herb accord in hot water on the face is a particular pleasure, and it leaves the skin smelling faintly clean rather than of nothing or of chemicals. It also means the scent never competes with whatever goes on afterwards, which is the usual complaint about scented shaving products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 100g a bar of this kind lasts considerably longer than a canister, which is most of the practical argument for the format. Kept dry between uses it will see you through months of shaving. This is a slower ritual than foam from a tin, and that is rather the point of choosing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoger \u0026amp; Gallet began in Paris in 1862, the work of a pair of brothers in law who had bought an older cologne house dating from 1806. Soap has been central to the business from the start, and the round soap it brought out in 1879 was the first scented throughout instead of only on its surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger \u0026 Gallet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53313228439879,"sku":"ENG201111","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/MklKV2wwaG5aYnpmZVlOSFZvR05ydUNkNWJIWTZNMkRHZ1FHbVJzZ1o5UnpqZXFtUlJKY1k1RlUzM1lKeEpxMQ2.jpg?v=1770813160","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/roger-and-gallet-cologne-twist-shaving-bar-100g","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
