{"product_id":"roger-and-gallet-wellbeing-soap-trio-gift-set","title":"Wellbeing Soap Trio Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Roger and Gallet Wellbeing Soap Trio Gift Set is a reminder that this house made its name on soap long before fragrance counters existed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree 100g perfumed soaps rather than a fragrance: Vanille Soleil, Néroli and Bois d'Orange. Three materials scent it. Jasmine gives a full, slightly heady white floral note, the kind that fills a bathroom rather than sitting politely on the skin. Ylang-ylang sits alongside it, richer and more exotic, with a soft banana skin sweetness and a faint spice to it. Vanilla rounds the pair off, warm and powdery rather than sugary, and it is what makes the whole thing smell comforting rather than merely pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are soaps, not perfume, and they should be judged accordingly. The scent lands on the skin during use and leaves a light trace afterwards rather than a lasting trail, so the pleasure is in the washing itself and in the smell the bathroom keeps for an hour or two afterwards. Judged as soap, the quality shows in how the scent survives the lather rather than in how long it clings to skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a present it is almost impossible to get wrong. A trio of soaps suits a housewarming, a thank you, a present for a host or a stocking filler, works for men and women alike, and gets used rather than stored. Anyone who has run out of ideas for a relative they barely know could do a great deal worse than start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoap is the heritage here. Roger and Gallet was started in Paris in 1862 by two founders who were brothers in law, and in 1879 it introduced the first round cake of soap perfumed through its full thickness instead of only on the surface. The house took its rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore address in 1932 and has made body and bath products since the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger \u0026 Gallet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55586141733191,"sku":"ENG222869","price":48.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/222869.jpg?v=1794497457","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/sv\/products\/roger-and-gallet-wellbeing-soap-trio-gift-set","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
