Beautiful rich foam, a smooth layer, and a comfortable feeling after the Shaving are of course all very important, but it all means nothing if the scent is not your thing. A Shaving Soap must smell good or not smell at all. Just like with Fragrance, you also see with Shaving Soaps that it varies per Season which Fragrances are purchased. We also see that reflected in our shop.
In the winter, you see more warm, heavier, and stronger Fragrances returning. Lots of Woody, tobacco, spices, and sweet Fragrances. We have our own favorites that we Shaving with in the winter. We would like to share these with you. Therefore, below are our favorite Shaving Soaps for the winter based on scent.
Razorock Tuscan Oud
A particularly rich scent inspired by Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford. The Fragrances of tobacco in this soap are more floral than bitter. A warm and somewhat sweet scent that immediately made us addicted to this delightful Shaving Soap by Razorock. Besides the pleasant scent, the soap is also enriched with Shea Butter, Argan oil, Aloe Vera, and Lanolin for an extra nice skin after the Shaving.
Geo F Trumper Spanish Leather
A very deep scent from Geo F Trumper that is very intoxicating. The combination of Musk with patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood makes this a very masculine scent. The name Spanish Leather is inspired by the substance they used to treat Leather with in the past. The Shaving Cream does not smell like leather. We think it's fantastic anyway. This Shaving Cream contains a lot of glycerine which is extra suitable for sensitive skin. This also makes it a very nice product to use in the winter.
Castle Forbes Cedarwood & Sandalwood
For those who mainly seek warmth and not the strong or sweet Fragrances, this Shaving Cream will be very happy. The Shaving Cream has only the pure warm scent of Cedarwood and Sandalwood, making it very calm for the Nose, but still pleasantly warm. A shave with a Shaving Cream from Castle Forbes is guaranteed to be a party. In every Season. The quality is among the best.
Abbate Y La Mantia Garibaldi
This soap from Abbate Y La Mantia is free New, they have truly outdone themselves with this beautiful soap. A very unique scent, no other soap really resembles it. The scent starts Spicy and smells like dried tobacco from Kentucky, combined with something woody and salty from the sea. The scent is not heavy at all thanks to the delightful fruity notes it contains. A wonderfully hypnotic scent. Furthermore, the soap has very good moisturizing properties thanks to Pequi oil, which makes Shaving with this soap a delight for your Face.
Officina Artigiana Milano Traditional Shaving Soap
Currently one of our biggest favorites. This soap from Officina Artigiana Milano came out of nowhere. No one had heard of this Brand yet. Apart from the fantastic scent, this soap does everything a Shaving Soap should do well. It consists of 40% different essential oils that greatly care for your Face. The smoothness is sublime and the foam is rich. And then the scent! Warm top notes of birch, black pepper, and fresh orchid, middle notes of whiskey, honey, tobacco, and saffron with a leathery hint, and its base notes of Woody, Amber, guaiac, and barley. We don't need to say more.
Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
Have you ever tried a Shaving Soap from Saponificio Varesino? In terms of shaving properties, there aren't many better Soaps on the market in our opinion. We don't need to say much about that. The average shaving enthusiast knows the Soaps. We think Desert Vetiver fits well with winter because it exudes warmth and spices. The mix with top notes of elemi, incense, orange, and artemisia lights up in the floral and spicy middle notes of black pepper, juniper berries, oregano, and lavandin, resting on the woody base notes of vetiver, fresh clove, and the attractive scent of Amber which provides the delightful masculine fragrance.
Proraso Red Sandalwood
This one cannot be missed. The Soaps from Proraso always hold a spot with beginners and advanced users alike. Always excellent products. This variant contains Shea Butter which makes Shaving extra soothing in the winter. The delightful warm and aromatic sandalwood scent remains a true classic of Proraso.
