The fragrance opens with the sparkling notes of Bergamot, Lemon and Tangerine. Then we come to the body, characterized by the spiciness of the Ginger root and Sichuan Pepper, all accompanied by the heady freshness of the Bourbon Geranium leaves. The base of the fragrance is a sensual mix of amber notes, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Vetiver. The Aromatic Fern fragrance blends with the aromas of natural additives, creating a fresh and intense note, well known and appreciated in the traditional wet-shaving community.
The presence of Dryopteris filix-mas Root Extract (extract of Male Fern), has the power to balance your skin.

Danilo (verified owner) –
Non posso credere che questo mitico sapone sia senza una recensione, proprio lui che è stato, e credo lo sia tuttora, un must per il SV. Sempre il primo nelle varie release, il più elegante, un tempo, nella sua lattina verde (ne voglio ancora…) che tanto lo caratterizzava, a differenza delle attuali un pò anonime e tutte uguali. Non voglio parlare delle qualità meccaniche che difenderei in duello e men che meno della profumazione che, nonostante possa essere relativo il gusto, risulta essere gentile, trascinante e con una persistenza presente solo nei prodotti di gran classe. Questo mi sentivo di tributare a Felce Aromatica e questo ho fatto.
