'Newly sprung in June' 2024

A Red, Red Rose shaving soap and aftershave splash, inspired by the great Scottish poet Robert Burns.

The latest shaving soap and aftershave splash from The Gentleman's Groom Room Dundee, A Red, Red Rose was inspired by our national Poet "Rabbie" Burns. The Gentleman's Groom Room owner passes a statue of Burns every day on the way to the store. The statue is by Sir John Robert Steell, the eminent Victorian sculptor and was unveiled in Dundee, Scotland in 1880, just two weeks after the first one was unveiled in Central Park, New York, USA. For his sculpture Steell closely followed the portrait of Robert Burns painted by Alexander Nasmyth in 1787. Two other casts were later commissioned for the statue in London, England (1884) and Dunedin, New Zealand (1887).

This fabulous fragrance has top notes of RED ROSE, Pink Rose and Geranium, a middle of Grass, on a base of Wood and Spice.

Timeless and elegant, Musgo Real 1887 Eau de Toilette is a tribute to tenacity and reinvention, and the respect for a legacy passed on from generation to generation. 1887 is tradition and modernity, old-school and edgy, past meets present. Masculine with a twist, this fragrance combines the power of geranium with the character of ambergris.

Top notes Lemon, pink pepper, grapefruit.
Heart notes Geranium, cistus, patchouli.
Base notes Vetiver, ambergris, oak moss.

This fragrance opens with clear notes of grapefruit and lemon combined with the spiciness of pink pepper. The powerful heart stars geranium and patchouli, traditionally masculine but with a twist brought in by the base notes: vetiver, ambergris, and oak moss.

Both the Eau de Toilette and soap on a rope available from The Gentleman's Groom Room of Dundee Scotland.
