Must Have: Truefitt and Hill 1805 Cologne – Fresh, Oceanic and Masculine!

“A man’s fragrance speaks volumes about who he is. Whether he is at work or at play”

Gentleman, Truefitt and Hill’s 1805 Cologne is a definite MUST HAVE for this spring/summer season! I have been using this fragrance for the past month and I really like the way it smells! The smell is not too strong; it stays long and has a customary sillage! This cologne is perfect for both day and night use.

The 1805 Cologne is fresh and sophisticated and it has an oceanic scent with top notes of bergamot, mandarin and cardamom combined with a lavender, geranium and clary sage heart resting on a sandalwood, cedarwood and musk base. It contains a lot of ingredients that results in an amazing smell that makes the ladies go crazy (they also like the way it smells)!

I love all the products in the 1805 range especially the cologne (sophistication in a bottle). 

Truefitt and Hill’s 1805 Cologne is currently priced at R640 (for 100ml) and is available at Victorian Bathrooms stores countrywide.

Must Have - Truefitt and Hill 1805 Shaving Cream Bowl

Truefitt and Hill’s 1805 shaving cream is made in England and is definitely a MUST HAVE for every dapper gentleman! I have been using this amazing product for the past month. This cream treats my skin very well, and ensures that I have a comfortable shaving experience every morning.

The Truefitt and Hill 1805 Shaving cream contains many ingredients including glycerin, which locks in the water and moisturizes one’s skin. After used my skin always felt smooth and cool!

One of the wonderful things about the 1805 Truefitt and Hill shaving cream is that it lathers well when mixed with water. You therefore don’t need to use a lot of cream to make a lot of lather, which is ideal because the cream will last longer.

The scent of the 1805 Shaving Cream is infused with their famous 1805 Cologne (which I will review next) which has a lovely oceanic scent, which stays on one’s skin for a while after use.

For a comfortable shave every morning, I recommend this high quality product. The Truefitt and Hill 1805 Shaving Cream Bowl is only R275 and is available from Victorian Bathrooms stores countrywide!

Must Have - Truefitt and Hill 1805 Bath/Shower Gel

As communicated in the previous post, Truefitt and Hill is finally available in South Africa at Victorian Bathrooms stores. Gentleman, since grooming and taking care of ourselves is becoming a norm, it is vital that we use high quality products to ensure our skin stays in tip-top condition!

I had the pleasure of using Truefitt and Hill’s bath/shower gel from the 1805 range. The bath/shower gel is amazing and has an oceanic scent (fresh, clean and masculine). It contains top notes of bergamot, mandarin and cardamom combined with lavender, geranium and clary sage heart resting on a sandalwood, cedarwood and musk base. I really liked using this luxurious product and how the smell stuck on my skin.

In addition to the amazing scent, the bath/shower gel also contains pure essential oils such as lavender oil which has soothing properties and encourages a great night’s sleep!

The bath/shower gel is high foaming and deep cleansing and promotes a feeling of complete well-being. I highly recommend Truefitt and Hill’s 1805 bath/shower gel for each and every dapper gentleman reading this post. It will leave your skin, clean, soft, hydrated and smelling great!

The 1805 bath/shower gel from Truefitt and Hill is available at Victorian Bathrooms stores for only R195.
