Elysian Aurelius Shaving Soap

A tallow and shea butter shaving soap in Aurelius, Elysian's tribute to Marcus Aurelius: citrus and woods with a leather undertone. Made in small batches in Pennsylvania.

Fragrance

Inspired by the emperor Marcus Aurelius: sweet citrus and sensual woods with an undertone of leather.

• Top: ruby red grapefruit, lemon, cardamom
• Heart: lily of the valley, cassis, amber, frankincense, saffron, papyrus
• Base: Mysore sandalwood, hinoki wood, cedar, castoreum

Performance

A tallow-based soap: the formula combines tallow and shea butter, with kaolin clay and tussah silk. Tallow soaps are prized by wet shavers for dense, cushioning lather and a comfortable post-shave feel. Load the brush well and add water gradually until the lather turns glossy.
