Those of us who are frequent visitors to Jermyn Street, that London epicentre of men's and women's style, will have noticed Trumper's on Duke of York Street. Its elegantly packed window promises traditional style and sophistication. George F. Trumper opened his barber shop in Curzon Street, Mayfair, over 100 years ago. His clientele was ‘the gentry’ and this explains its gentlemen’s club atmosphere. The business's reputation came to the notice of the Royal Court and Trumper’s became Court Hairdressers receiving Royal Warrants from Queen Victoria and each successive monarch thereafter.

| Trumper's sent me some products to try |
Mr George Trumper blended his grooming products in his basement at his Curzon Street shop, using natural essential oils from around the world. Some of these original formulae are still used, but the range has been adapted to the modern world while preserving a distinctive and gentlemanly subtle and sophisticated English character.
The fragrance and grooming collection includes a wide range of colognes, skin care, shaving creams and soaps, bath and shower soaps and gels, shampoos, hairdressings and deodorants and is supported by a comprehensive range of exclusive grooming accessories.

| Geo. F. Trumper's Eucris products |
I was sent a box of products based around their Eucris fragrance. When first applied this very gentlemanly scent has a lemony, peppery, woody character which settles with time (as do all good scents) to a subtle fragrance which, for me, is reminiscent of leather bound books, pepper, lemon, sunbaked straw, cigars and summer days. Eucris is used in everything from shaving cream, through deodorant to an eau de parfum which, lightly applied, lasts for ages and remains subtle and fresh.
Trumper's products are vegan-friendly and come beautifully packaged, with their coronet shaped stoppers reflecting the heritage of the business. If you can't visit the shop to buy or to have a shave, haircut or facial massage, you can purchase products through the Geo. F. Trumper website.
