Roger & Gallet Neroli Soap: Mediterranean orange blossom in the washbasin
The Roger & Gallet Neroli Savon Bienfaisant 100g is the aromatic round bar of the Neroli family. The composition combines the summer warmth of the flower of immortality with the deep, floral notes of orange blossom. It was created by the perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, for whom neroli and orange blossoms are the roots: the bright and warm Mediterranean side, the joy of life and sharing.
It is an aroma that many associate with tranquility. The feeling it gives when used is soft and relaxing, ideal to "close" a tiring day with a warm shower.
How to keep the soap dry and last longer
The biggest enemy of a solid soap is standing water. When the bar sits in a basin, its surface softens, becomes slimy and melts much faster. A few simple habits make a huge difference:
- Soap dish with space or rack: allows water to drain and air to circulate under the bar.
- Away from the water flow: do not leave the soap where the shower water falls.
- Turning: if the container is solid, turn the bar upside down after use to dry evenly.
- Alternating: if you have two bars, use one while the other rests and dries.
- Storage of unused: keep the unused bars in their wrapping, in a cool and dry place.
A soap that dries properly not only lasts longer, but also keeps its aroma more stable. Roger & Gallet has also designed its own collection soap dish for the round bars.
Another trick: if you want to have soap in two places, cut the bar in half with a knife, so one half can be used and the other stays dry in the cupboard. As it gets smaller, the last pieces can be put in a cloth pouch and used up to the end.
The art behind the bar
Since 1879, the brand's soaps have been a staple in every tasteful bathroom. Their production is still done in a cauldron, as in the old days, and the technique with which the fragrance is infused lasts 80 hours for each piece. Thanks to this, the delicate foam remains fragrant until the bar is finished. The intense pleated silk paper that wraps it is the signature of Roger & Gallet.
Who is it for
- For those who love white, sunny flowers and the Mediterranean.
- For an evening shower, when you want a sense of calm.
- For a bath that you want to smell like a subtly summer all year round.
How to use
Wet the bar and the skin of the hands or body, make a rich lather with circular motions and rinse with plenty of water. Then hang the soap in a draining container.
