Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille Bar of Soap 100g is a finely milled French apothecary soap scented with one of the oldest documented perfume compositions in history — Jean Marie Farina, launched in 1806. The fragrance is a classical citrus-aromatic cologne built on Amalfi lemon, bergamot, orange and mandarin, with a refined herbal heart of petitgrain, rosemary, neroli and rose, and a warm woody-spicy drydown of clove, cedar, vetiver and sandalwood.
About Roger & Gallet
Roger & Gallet is one of the oldest French perfumery houses, founded in Paris in 1862 by Armand Roger and Charles Gallet, with origins tracing back to the famous Jean-Marie Farina formula. The brand built its reputation around fragrant soaps and floral colognes — the Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille is the brand's heritage signature, a continuous link to early 19th-century European perfumery.
