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.

Tart, slightly floral, complex - more seasonally versatile than you’d think

Lather was superlative as you’d expect from the Excelsior base. Scent for me was a masculine floral - almost candy, tart and sweet on the nose. Very complex blend. No spice. Dry down with the splash lasted quite a while. Feels like a good spring seasonal.

My Favorite Soap

I loved this shave soap, I had heard a lot about the seville but man oh man, this one is so bloody good!, it's sweet, spicy and also has citrus. I'm definitely gonna be trying the rest of the collection but it would be difficult to convince me that this one isn't the best.

Love that violet

The scent profile is subtle but does linger throughout the day. My wife has also been a fan.
