There is no alcohol sting, it goes on as a cream rather than as a liquid, and it is absorbed rather than evaporating, so it suits anyone whose face reacts badly to the traditional approach. Applied to clean damp skin straight after the razor, it takes the heat out of a close shave and the tightness out of the hours that follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance it carries is the one Olivier Cresp composed. Lemon and star fruit are the brightest part, sour and tart with a green edge, with rosewood adding a dry cleanliness underneath. The herbal middle of tarragon, cedar leaf and clary sage is what gives it character, anise edged and green and faintly salty in turn, and musk, amber and sycamore finish it with a soft, pale, warm quality that sits very close to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a balm all of that is present at a lower level than in the fragrance itself. It is there to smell pleasant for an hour or two after shaving rather than to stand in for a fragrance, and it layers underneath the matching scent without any conflict between the two of them. Seventy five millilitres is a good quantity for something used daily or near enough, and it belongs in a wash bag as easily as on a shelf. It is a practical purchase for a man who shaves properly and an easy addition to a gift for one who does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house is Milanese and dates to 1978, when Gianni Versace set it up. His sister Donatella has led it since his death, and perfume is one part of a business that also covers fashion, interiors and hospitality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Versace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54328196333895,"sku":"ENG24273","price":49.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng24273.jpg?v=1783814051","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/versace-man-eau-fraiche-after-shave-balm-75ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
