There's a reason French-milled soap has been the standard for luxury bath care for generations. Traditional French soap is triple-milled for a smooth, long-lasting bar — but Pré de Provence takes it a step further with a quad-milling process, resulting in an even smoother bar and a richer, more luxurious lather. Every bar is handcrafted by dedicated soapmakers in Provence, France, following methods passed down through generations.
At Fina Tavola, we carry two sides of the Pré de Provence world: the classic shea butter-enriched soap bars in fragrances inspired by the French countryside, and the No. 63 Collection, a modern take on men's grooming built around one of the house's signature scents.
The Classic Shea Butter Soaps
Each bar in this line is made with pure, natural ingredients enriched with shea butter, and is free of parabens, ethyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol, DEA, and BPA/phthalates — with no animal testing, no GMOs, no mineral oil or petrochemicals, and no lead. Every fragrance carries the same exfoliating quality and rich, creamy lather, just in a different mood:
Honey Almond blends honey and almond into the warm, sweet smell of Provence — a comforting, gourmand scent with gentle exfoliating qualities. Available in packs of 1, 3, or 6.
Lavender is the scent most people picture when they think of Provence — a delightfully aromatic fragrance straight from the region's lavender fields, in the same exfoliating, quad-milled formula.
White Gardenia takes things in a sweeter, more floral direction, scented with fragrant white flowers for a silky, romantic finish.
All three come in a 250g (8.8 oz) bar, sized at 4 x 2.75 x 1.3 inches.
The No. 63 Collection: French Grooming for Men
No. 63 is Pré de Provence's answer to modern men's grooming — a fragrance built around a peppery citrus top note, rounded out by woody cedarwood, juicy plum, and violet leaves, and finished with an ambery base of leather and tobacco. It's aromatic, warm, and spicy, and it shows up across three formats depending on how you like to shop (or gift):
Soap on a Rope, 200g takes the classic No. 63 bar and adds a rope loop, so it can hang on your wrist or in the shower instead of falling to the floor or turning your soap dish into a mess. It also dries faster and lasts longer as a result. Boxed and ready to gift — great for a birthday, a wedding shower, Father's Day, or someone heading off to college.
Wash & Lotion Set, 240ml each pairs the No. 63 two-in-one Hair and Body Wash with the matching Body Lotion for a complete cleanse-and-hydrate routine. Both are formulated with glycerin, shea oil, and aloe vera — the wash rinses clean, the lotion absorbs fast without leaving a greasy feel.
Soap Bar, 200g is the no-frills version of the same fragrance — quad-milled for a smooth, long-lasting bar that won't melt away between uses, formulated to moisturize with no residue.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you're shopping for yourself, the classic shea butter bars are an easy way to bring a bit of Provence into a daily routine — pick a fragrance that matches the mood you're going for. If you're shopping for the men in your life, the No. 63 line covers every price point and gifting occasion, from a single bar to a full wash-and-lotion set.
Either way, it's the same promise behind every bar: pure ingredients, traditional French milling, and a fragrance that actually holds up.
