Chypres ("SHEEP-ruhs") are perhaps our favorite family of fragrances here at Barrister and Mann®. They have a long and storied history, going all the way back to megalomaniac and perfume tycoon François Coty, who created the family in 1917 (and promptly sparked a fragrance revolution).
Inspired by smells indigenous to the island nation of Cyprus, Le Grand Chypre ("Leh Grond SHEEP-ruh") combines notes of bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, and a touch of patchouli to produce an elegant, citrusy heart. We wrapped it in notes of peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon, and other supporting smells to create an elegant, slightly fruity, freshly floral design perfectly suited to the refined shaver.
Net Wt. 4 oz, Made in the USA

United StatesThe scent is delightful.
United StatesThis is the first time using the product, and I love it. The application goes on very easy, ad has provided great close shaves. I highly recommend this product!
United StatesI have been using B&M since the beginning and have stuck to the traditional ones for the most part. This one is a must try. This will be in my rotation for quite a while. Excellent science, rich lather, fantastic soap.
United StatesThis is one of the most complex and wonderful scents I've ever smelled for a shaving soap. The base is just amazing, really hard not to get a great shave with this soap.
United StatesI tried LGC for the first time when it was available in the pretty decent Glissant base. LGC I was a very fruity sweet scent - the newest version I bought, in Excelsior base, seems a bit less sweet with more citrus and incense presence. The peach and florals are still there, but just balanced a bit more with other scents. I like the "new" mix better, but this could just be due to poor memory of what the "old" version smelled like. A lovely and complex scent, what one would expect from the genius factory at B&M. What is unequivocally improved is the Excelsior base. This is one of the best performing shave soap bases available, and gives a more comfortable and protective shave than Glissant. Excelsior is a triumph of practical chemistry, and a showpiece as to how a world class brand can improve itself even further.
