When beauty enthusiasts think of Roger & Gallet, iconic fragrances like the divine Fleur de Figuier, timeless colognes, or refreshing eaux fraîches such as Amande Persane, Fleur d'Osmanthus, and Thé Vert often come to mind—alongside their legendary round soaps. In early September 2016, the heritage brand expanded into facial care with Aura Mirabilis, a collection rooted in centuries-old expertise.
"Aura Mirabilis" harks back to a revered natural remedy formulated by monks over 300 years ago using rare medicinal plants. This versatile elixir could be ingested or applied topically to heal burns and wounds, ward off plagues, brighten the complexion, and smooth irregularities. Drawing on this authentic formula, Roger & Gallet crafted their line with 18 distilled officinal plants, including thyme, magnolia, Damascus rose, neroli, sandalwood, and lemon zest.
Aura Mirabilis offers a concise yet powerful quartet of products that tackle wrinkles, boost radiance and freshness, and shield skin from environmental aggressors. The star Double-Extract is a biphasic concentrate with an ethereal texture that absorbs instantly to deeply hydrate, repair, and refine fine lines—perfect solo or layered under the Legendary Cream. This gel-cream delivers featherlight protection, intense hydration, and immediate soothing comfort. Our personal favorite, the Extra-Fine Cleansing Mask, morphs from gel to oil during massage and milk upon rinsing; use as a gentle makeup remover or leave on for 5 minutes for a detoxifying boost. Beauty Vinegar completes the ritual, tightening pores for luminous, satin-soft skin. Each product carries a subtle herbal scent that evokes trusted apothecary traditions.
Available from September 1, 2016, in pharmacies at €20.80 (Extra-Fine Cleansing Mask and Beauty Vinegar), €43.70 (Legendary Cream), and €57.10 (Double-Extract). As skincare experts, we're already devoted fans.
