Rituals Skincare for Men. My Honest Review
Ah, Rituals – a brand that has woven its aromatic magic into my life from the sun-soaked streets of Spain to the bustling cities of the UK. Back in 2010, as I strolled through Bristol and Birmingham, there it was – a familiar oasis, the Rituals store, promising a blend of indulgence and tranquility.
In those early days, the Rituals of Samurai collection for men was my go-to, an olfactory adventure that made each grooming session a ritualistic delight. Fast forward, and Rituals has undergone a makeover, introducing 'Rituals Homme. I must confess, my initial reaction was tinged with a bit of disappointment; the rebrand seemed to move towards the generic.
Join me on this journey as I delve into the revamped Rituals Homme range. While it might lack the flamboyance of its predecessor, it’s time to uncover whether it holds its own in the realm of men’s skincare. Here is my daily grooming routine with Rituals – a blend of tradition and modernity for the contemporary man.
