Barrister and Mann Passiflora Shaving Soap is a spicy fougère shaving soap made in the USA by Barrister and Mann, built on the brand's tallow-based Omnibus soap base. The scent is built around galbanum oil for a green, soapy opening, layered with cinnamon, bergamot, rose, geranium, lavender, tonka bean, and a tangy passion fruit accord that gives the fragrance its name.
Passiflora leans into fruit notes more than most fougères, pairing the sharper, slightly acidic passion fruit accord against the deeper spice and floral notes underneath, so the scent reads as fresh and modern rather than heavy. The Omnibus base is built around potassium and sodium tallowate along with glycerin, kokum butter, coconut milk, shea butter, and avocado oil, and it is designed to produce a dense, slick lather that holds up well through a multi-pass shave without needing to be re-lathered.
Barrister and Mann formulates and produces its soaps in the USA, and the Omnibus base sits alongside a separate vegan "Veggiebus" base the brand also offers on some scents, though this Passiflora tub uses the standard tallow-based Omnibus. The result is an artisan shaving soap suited to face or bowl lathering with a natural bristle or synthetic brush alike.
