Truefitt & Hill 1805 Aftershave Balm 100ml

1805 Aftershave Balm honours the founding year with a recovery protocol matched to the fresh oceanic opening of its shaving cream counterpart. It completes the grooming cycle with the same dedication to precision, comfort, and lasting presence that defines two centuries of uninterrupted excellence.

Fragrance Profile

The 1805 fragrance transitions through the post-shave recovery phase with particular elegance. Fresh top notes of bergamot, mandarin, and cardamom maintain the opening clarity whilst body warmth elevates volatiles. The heart's lavender, geranium, and clary sage develop with gentle herbaceous warmth on skin. Base notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, and musk establish the fragrance's enduring character—soft, creamy, woody—providing subtle but persistent olfactory presence throughout the day without projection excess or cloying intensity.

Recovery

This conditioning balm formulation prioritises post-shave recovery through specialised ingredient deployment. Glycerin and plant-derived humectants restore facial hydration following blade work, whilst botanical conditioning agents address inflammation and minimise razor sensitivity. The formula absorbs efficiently without residual greasiness, leaving skin primed and comfortable. Equally suitable for all skin types and deployment frequency. Recommended for daily use as part of complete grooming protocol.
