SOLSTICE VEGAN SHAVING SOAP

Discover a warm fragrance with a strong character, ideal for winter and celebrating the spirit of the winter solstice, which skilfully plays on the tension between radiant freshness and bewitching sensuality.

From the very first notes, there's an explosion of mandarin and citrus fruits, enhanced by delicate spices that add an invigorating dimension. This dynamic opening evokes a sunny stroll through a fragrant garden, where every breath is an invitation to escape, even in the heart of the cold season.

At the heart of this fragrance, jasmine and violet intertwine with white flowers and incense, creating a rich and complex floral composition. This combination adds intriguing depth and captivating sensuality, evoking starlit evenings illuminated by the magic of the winter solstice.

The base notes reveal an enveloping, comforting warmth. The woody accords of cedar and sandalwood mingle with patchouly and vanilla, forming a base that is both solid and soft. Heliotrope adds a final touch of delicacy, completing this bold composition.

This fragrance embodies the duality of freshness and warmth, offering a unique olfactory experience that will appeal to those in search of affirmation and mystery. Perfect for winter evenings and solstice celebrations, it leaves a memorable trail of fragrance that speaks to the richness and complexity of its wearer.

The spirit of the winter solstice evokes a period of renewal and reflection, marked by the celebration of the gradual return of light. In many cultures, the winter solstice is seen as a time of transition, when the longest night of the year slowly gives way to brighter days. 

It's a time of gathering, festivities and traditions that celebrate warmth, conviviality and connection with nature. Themes of rebirth, hope and resilience are often present, as are rituals that honour the cycle of the seasons. People gather to share meals, light candles or fires, and reflect on the past year while expressing wishes for the one to come. 

In short, the spirit of the winter solstice symbolises the return of light, bringing warmth and joy to the coldest months.

For best results, we recommend two application methods : 

1 - In the shaving soap jar :

Soak your shaving brush in hot water, drain it slightly and then apply light pressure in circular movements in the pot for 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the stiffness of the bristles in your shaving brush.

Once a paste of soap has formed around the bristles of the shaving brush, work it into a lather over your face, using circles or back-and-forth strokes (like painting) over the area to be shaved until you obtain a nice shaving foam. You can add a few drops of water to the bristles of the brush at any time to get the consistency that's right for you.

The right dose of water is all about achieving the ideal balance between good protection and good glide. A thick shaving foam with less water will provide more protection, while a thin shaving foam with more water will help the razor blade glide more smoothly.

Rinse the shaved areas with water, preferably cold water, to ensure that any stray hairs and remaining foam are removed.

When you've finished shaving, rinse your shaving brush well to remove all the foam and wring it out as best you can. Rinse off any excess lather from the surface of the soap and leave it to dry. After a few hours, you can close the lid and store the soap in a cool, dry place away from light.

2 - In a shaving bowl :

Using your finger, scoop out an almond-sized amount of shaving soap and press it into the bottom of a shaving bowl. Gorge your shaving brush with warm water, drain it slightly and work your lather into the bowl in circles until you have a shaving foam. You can add a few drops of water to the bristles of the brush at any time to obtain the consistency that suits you.
