Based on one of the oldest forms of perfume, Cologne Russe is a throwback to a scent created by the House of Guerlain for the Russian royal family and discontinued in the early twentieth century.

We blend lemon, bergamot, petitgrain, and herbs with violet, rose, bay, and amber to produce a rich, beautifully fresh scent derived from the colognes of old. The scent is distinctly warmer than most other cologne-type fragrances, owing largely to its inclusion of castoreum, benzoin, and vanilla. Clean and elegant without the aloofness of some other scents, Cologne Russe is the perfect way to brighten your morning.

Net wt. 4 oz, Made in the USA

Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water (lots and LOTS of it) and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

Top Notch

Can’t really go wrong with any BM scent, but Cologne Russe doesn’t get the hype some others do. Love excelsior base, probably in my top 3 across all soap makers.

Excellent scent

Leathers easily and the smell is amazing! Probably my favorite scent so far.

Elite soap

A couple of months ago I decided to use my 40+ soaps one by one and **** out the mediocre ones. B&M Excelsior emerged as my top base among many great ones. It performs phenomenally in every area. This scent is very nice, too, although Vespers is my favorite.

Great addition to my collection

I’ve been a regular Barrister & Mann customer for some time now, but I had never tried Cologne Russe. I thought it might be too strong of a scent. I recently purchased and I enjoy the subtle smell. It’s a great addition to my rotation.
