Indulge Your Skin and Soothe Your Sense With The New Venus Spa Breeze

Taking time out from a hectic schedule is essential to keeping a balanced lifestyle, but a trip to the Spa isn’t always possible in our busy lives. New Gillette Venus Spa Breeze incorporates a fresh new fragrance designed to soothe the senses and offer an indulgent moment to your day- reminiscent of a premium spa experience.

Venus Spa Breeze is the newest version of the 2-in-1 razor with shave gel bars, with the addition of a luxurious white tea scent, yielding an indulgent shaving experience. Perfect for those who seek convenience in their beauty regime but still demand a smooth shave, the built-in shave gel bars provide a skin-loving, light lather for a smooth shave without the need for shaving cream. Marking an industry first, the innovative Venus Spa Breeze Disposables are the first and only 2-in-1 disposable razor with shave gel bars, taking convenience to another level for disposable users.

Natural fragrances in our everyday lives can be used to elevate or calm our feelings. Leading French perfumer Yves Dombrowsky, founder of Auckland perfume bar Yves Andre, has been developing aromatherapy products and teaching people about the effects each unique scent can have on our feelings for over ten years.

“Scents can be a powerful influence on the way we feel. They have the power to conjure up different moods and emotions in each of us. Certain scents can be used to calm and elevate sleep or put an energizing zing into our lives when you need a pick up,” said Yves.

“White tea is a particularly indulgent scent with a soft and subtle fragrance which can help to soothe the senses, leaving you ready to face the day,” he added.

Venus Spa Breeze has built-in shave gel bars which flex and respond to fit intricate curves, fitting into even the most difficult areas, like knees and ankles, revealing smooth beautiful skin. Simply wet the razor to release the soothing white tea scent. The resulting light lather will eliminate the need for a separate shave cream.

Featuring a pretty blush pink spa inspired handle, Venus Spa Breeze provides an enhanced gripping surface for easy shaving in the shower. The new non-disposable shaving system is packaged with a shaving compact for easy in-shower use and blade storage.

Turn the daily chore of hair removal into a relaxing and pampering experience with the new Venus Spa Breeze.

Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Shaving System - includes the refillable razor handle, two cartridges and a shower compact (RRP $15.29), Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Refill Cartridges (x4) (RRP $20.35) and Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Disposables 3pk (RRP $9.43) are available from the end of August in supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide.
