Product Overview

Martin de Candre Absinthe Shaving Soap Travel Size brings one of the world's most celebrated artisan shaving soaps into a compact, travel-friendly format. Inspired by the legendary Belle Époque spirit, this handcrafted French vegan shaving soap delivers an invigorating aromatic fragrance built around the refreshing character of star anise, fennel, and green anise.

Scent Profile

Absinthe opens with an invigorating burst of aniseed freshness accented by a subtle minty coolness. Star anise provides its naturally sweet licorice character while aromatic fennel introduces crisp herbal complexity before green anise adds an energizing finish. Inspired by the famous Belle Époque spirit, the fragrance balances refreshing green notes with a delicate herbal bitterness, creating a clean, sophisticated scent that feels vibrant and timeless.

Fragrance Notes:

  • Top: Star Anise
  • Heart: Fennel
  • Base: Green Anise

Performance Profile

Handcrafted using Martin de Candre's traditional French hot-process method and made exclusively from vegetable oils, Absinthe effortlessly creates a dense, creamy lather with exceptional razor glide and superior protection. Despite its compact size, the highly concentrated formula requires only a small amount of soap per shave, allowing the 50g travel jar to last approximately 4–6 months of daily shaving while delivering the same legendary performance as its full-sized counterpart. 

A Word from the Artisan

Every Martin de Candre shaving soap is handcrafted in the Loire Valley of France using traditional artisanal soap-making techniques that have remained virtually unchanged for decades. Slowly saponified in a cauldron and naturally cured, each batch reflects exceptional French craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality. Directions for Use

Using a damp shaving brush, load the soap for approximately 20–30 seconds before building lather in a shaving bowl or directly on the face. Gradually add water until a dense, glossy lather develops. After shaving, allow the soap to air dry completely before replacing the lid.

The lather is incredibly thick and creamy with just a few drops of water, and the travel tin is perfectly sized for my dopp kit. I love how the scent is subtle during the shave but lingers pleasantly afterward.

Ruby F. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about spending this much on a travel soap, but the lather it produces is incredibly thick and slick—even in hard water. The absinthe scent is herbal and complex, not at all overpowering, and the 50g tin slides easily into my dopp kit.
