Collection: Taylor of Old Bond Street

Taylor of Old Bond Street traces its origins to 1854, when Jeremiah Taylor established a barbershop and gentleman's emporium on London's prestigious Old Bond Street. The brand became known for its shaving preparations, developing formulations that prioritised skin comfort and effective lathering for traditional wet shaving.

Today, Taylor of Old Bond Street produces an extensive range of shaving creams, hard soaps, aftershaves, colognes and grooming accessories. Products are manufactured in England using established formulations, with the Sandalwood fragrance remaining the brand's most recognised scent since its introduction in the mid-twentieth century.

The range caters to both newcomers and experienced wet shavers. Shaving creams are offered in 150g bowls suitable for brush lathering, while the Sandalwood Shave Soap Refill provides a harder soap option for those who prefer longer-lasting products. The Jermyn Street Collection addresses sensitive skin with alcohol-free and allergen-free formulations across shaving creams, aftershaves and cologne.

Taylor of Old Bond Street organises its products into distinct fragrance collections, each with a characteristic scent profile:

Sandalwood remains the signature fragrance, featuring warm woody notes with citrus top notes and a base of musk and amber. Available across shaving creams, soaps, moisturising cream, talcum powder, hand wash and gift sets.

Jermyn Street offers a modern fougère fragrance with lemon, lime, bergamot and lavender top notes, leading to a base of musk, patchouli and vanilla. Formulated specifically for sensitive skin with allergen-free compositions.

Eton College delivers a citrus-forward profile with lemon, orange and mandarin balanced by patchouli base notes. The Eton College Aftershave Cream provides post-shave hydration with this refreshing scent.

Additional fragrances include Almond with its warm, nutty character, Rose with geranium and spice notes, and Oudh featuring an exotic blend of quince, saffron and dry amber.

Taylor of Old Bond Street is best known for traditional shaving creams, shaving soaps, aftershaves, grooming products and gift sets, with many classic British fragrance profiles.
