In 1862, Arman Roger & Charles Gallet, heirs of a perfume distillery and apothecary know- how, invented the perfumed beauty ritual and opened the very first boutique du Bonheur in Paris. They were to modernize the perfumery universe with shapes and volumes, with olfactive innovations and the creation of uplifting perfumes. Roger&Gallet today offer fragrant beauty rituals and wellbeing. A pure moment of perfumed happiness.

Showers with Roger and Gallet are invigorating, cleansing and hydrating. This range is suitable for all skin types. It is a luxurious range of shower gels and crams and they all have a formula of natural ingredients. This results in cleansing the skin with beautifully fragranced products. 

I had heard of Roger and Gallet about 15 years ago when I was working for a woman who loved the finer things in life. She regularly used Roger and Gallet soap, and it was the soap and shower gel of choice for all her guests. I fondly remember looking at these soaps thinking oh god these must be so luxurious and expensive. At 15 years of age 5 euro seemed expensive. Since then I have come to know Roger and Gallet as a luxurious brand at a reasonable price. The shower gels which I will showcase below are €9.90 for 200ml. These shower gels are so luxurious. 

Fleur d'Osmanthus is an uplifting formula. The surprising honey texture transforms on contact with water into a light cleansing foam. The formula is enriched with softening apricot extract and vitamin E, and its delicious texture envelops body and mind in a bubble of happiness. This is the perfect shower gel to use first thing in the morning as it immediately wakes up the senses and makes you feel alive. I love using this on mornings when I am feeling uber tired as it gives me that wake up. The lather from this shower gel is amazing, It develops into a fabulous bubbly lather which is very invigorating. My skin feels soft, supple and very hydrated after using this shower gel. 

With Bois d'Orange perfumed bath shower gel, rediscover the magic of a scented journey to the heart of an Andalucian garden in the shade of the orange trees. Allow yourself to be carried away by the vibrant, sunny freshness of the leaf and fruit, the smoothness of the flower and the soft, woody perfume of the orange tree. It gently cleanses and helps improve the skin's softness and suppleness. This scent is very refreshing, it brings me to a garden full of orange trees, and opens the mind. These shower gels really do pack a punch in the scent department.
