One of the most respected names in shaving and skincare, Kiehl’s has released its trio of core grooming products to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin.

5. The scent of autumn and winter...

Vibrant and soft, the PR-blurb states that Aqua Celestia Cologne forte ‘reveals a luminous and crystal-clear aura, offering a dream, a horizon beckoning you to evasion.’ That translates into a scent with fruity notes of blackcurrant, jasmine and mimosa, before softening into a fruity musky accord. Radiant, fruity and musky with strong fragrance intensity. £165 / 70ml.
