Martin de Candre Citrus Shaving Soap 50g

The Citrus deployment initiates with bright invigoration—a lively, essential oil composition that demands precision to execute without synthetic compromise. This French artisan soap in 50g format carries the zesty intelligence essential for field operations requiring clarity and refinement.

Fragrance Profile

A composition of exclusively natural essential oils. The opening reveals green nuances of lemongrass, lime, and bright lemon notes. The heart develops with invigorating sweetness of grapefruit and petitgrain, whilst bergamot adds refined complexity and subtle warmth. The result is a lively, clean citrus character that energises without excess citral intensity. The fragile nature of these essential oil notes presents a technical challenge in formulation—stability and harmonisation without synthetic support remain hallmarks of Martin de Candre's mastery.

Performance & Vegetable Oil Base

Built on 100% vegetable oils (coconut and olive) through traditional saponification, this soap produces a dense, creamy lather with exceptional cushion and slickness. The compact 50g format suits fieldwork and travel deployment whilst maintaining full performance parity with larger editions. Minimal brush loading yields copious, stable lather providing superior glide and control throughout the shave.
