Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals seeking a post-shave treatment that soothes and invigorates the skin while imparting a sophisticated woody fragrance. The key benefit is its dual action of calming freshly shaved skin and providing a lasting, pleasant scent. A potential caveat is that the rich woody notes may be too intense for those who prefer very subtle fragrances. The Santal After Shave is a fragrant astringent designed to close pores and refresh the skin, featuring a blend of sandalwood, cedarwood, and patchouli, with top notes of bergamot and lemon, heart notes of clove and lavender, and base notes of musk and vanilla.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this aftershave?
Its primary purpose is to act as a fragrant astringent, which helps to close pores, soothe newly shaved skin, reduce redness, and invigorate the skin while leaving a lasting woody scent.
What are the main fragrance notes?
The fragrance features top notes of bergamot, black pepper, cardamom, green grass, and lemon; heart notes of clove bud, lavender, and nutmeg; and base notes of amber, cedarwood, frankincense, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver. The overall profile is rich and woody.
Does it help with razor burn?
Yes, the witch-hazel content acts as a natural astringent that can help calm and reduce inflammation associated with razor burn and irritation.
Is this aftershave suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is formulated for daily use after shaving. Its moisturizing properties from glycerine make it suitable for regular application.
Can I use this if I have oily skin?
While it contains glycerine for moisture, it also has astringent properties. Individuals with oily skin may find it beneficial. However, if you find it too rich, consider using it sparingly or alternating with a lighter product.
What does 'Fougère' mean in the fragrance family?
Fougère (French for 'fern-like') is a classic fragrance family characterized by a blend of lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin, often associated with fresh, aromatic, and slightly woody scents. It provides a fresh, slightly herbaceous and woody backbone to the Santal fragrance.

Troubleshooting
Skin irritation after application
Discontinue use if irritation persists. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before wider application. Ensure the skin was properly cleansed before shaving and that the razor is sharp to minimize irritation.
Scent fades quickly
Ensure the skin is properly moisturized before applying aftershave, as dry skin may absorb the fragrance faster. Reapplication may be necessary for those who prefer a stronger scent throughout the day.
Product appears cloudy
This can sometimes occur due to temperature fluctuations. Gently shake the bottle and store it at room temperature. If the cloudiness persists or is accompanied by an off-odor, discontinue use.
