Le Grand Chypre is proudly offered in our new lanolin-free Omnibus base.

Chypres ("SHEEP-ruhs") are perhaps our favorite family of fragrances here at Barrister and Mann®. They have a long and storied history, going all the way back to megalomaniac and perfume tycoon François Coty, who created the family in 1917 (and promptly sparked a fragrance revolution).

Inspired by smells indigenous to the island nation of Cyprus, Le Grand Chypre ("Leh Grond SHEEP-ruh") combines notes of bergamot, lime, labdanum, oakmoss, and a touch of patchouli to produce an elegant, citrusy heart. We wrapped it in notes of peach, rose, frankincense, cedar, cinnamon, and other supporting smells to create an elegant, slightly fruity, freshly floral design perfectly suited to the refined shaver.

Directions for Use: Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

Perfection

My favorite soap scent from Barrister's offerings and possibly my favorite soap scent period. Absolutely phenomenal.

Great soap, clean, deep, masculine scent

This is a great soap. It’s admittedly not what I USUALLY look for in soaps but i tried a sample and couldn’t get the scent out of my mind, so here i am; with a full puck and no regrets. It’s a very welcome addition to my collection and fills that “lime” niche that’s been quite empty on the shelf for some time. I find the best way to describe it is as a “counterpart” to seville, much in the same way fougere angelique & gothique are counterparts. It might not smell much like Seville, but i’m getting the same vibe. If seville’s an old world barber, le gran chypre is an old world salon. Scent-wise it’s bit of a love child between B&M’s “cool” and “cologne russe”. It takes the clean, cool lime and aquatics i get from the former and adds some real cool deep layers with a bit of a deeper and guttural quality i get from “cologne russe”. The lime is by far the most predominant scent to my nose, oakmoss & frankincense definitely there as well to round that out and “hold it down” a bit. There’s almost a eucalyptus-like fresh ess that comes from this combination, to my nose. Again, it might not be for everyone, but if you enjoy any of the three mentioned above i’d reckon this is at least worth a try.

Brilliant Chypre Shaving Soap

I recently obtained a sample of this shaving soap. The scent was magnificent, up with the best.The lather was dense and creamy. This is a brilliant Barrister & Mann shaving soap.

A Noble Scent

Overall experience of this Shaving Soap was excellent. From the sample that I received, I used 3 coffee bean size nuggets of soap and this produced a copious lather and a magnificent scent. The scent reminded me of Abbate Y La Mantia Garabaldi shaving soap only more subtle and refined. A great chypre soap from B&M.

This scent is so unique! Super complex yet well integrated! Unbelievably fresh and vibrant! ...and the B&M Excelsior base performance is profoundly tip top in any crowd of soaps (and there are an abundance of great artisan soaps out there -- and, of course, Maggard Rasors stocks the best of the best)! I have yet to use a better performing soap that Barrister & Mann Excelsior LGC! Not bound to or by any sort of seasonal affiliation! I could and absolutely DO see myself going for this one on a very frequent basis throughout the year and on the most special of occasions.
