1887 begins with the sparkling freshness of lemon and grapefruit, sharpened by the lively spice of pink pepper.
At the heart, geranium introduces a classic aromatic quality, while cistus and patchouli bring warmth, texture, and earthy depth.
The base gives 1887 much of its distinctive character.
Dry, elegant vetiver meets the depth of ambergris and the green, earthy quality of oak moss, creating a woody finish that feels simultaneously traditional and contemporary.
Used in the shaving cream, the fragrance remains refined and understated, leaving the skin subtly scented after the morning shave.
The Story Behind 1887
The name 1887 connects this fragrance directly with the heritage at the heart of Musgo Real.
For Claus Porto, that history is not simply something to preserve. It is something that continues to evolve from one generation to the next.
Musgo Real describes 1887 through the meeting of old-school charm and a modern edge.
That contrast is reflected throughout the fragrance.
Bright lemon and grapefruit bring freshness and energy.
Pink pepper adds contemporary spice.
Aromatic geranium recalls the traditions of classic men's perfumery, while cistus and patchouli introduce warmth and depth.
Finally, vetiver, ambergris, and oak moss create a distinguished foundation with a decidedly timeless character.
In shaving cream form, the idea becomes especially fitting.
The traditional ritual of wet shaving is paired with a modern fragrance composition and a contemporary grooming formula, allowing one of the oldest elements of men's grooming to become something worth rediscovering each morning.
A Modern Take on Traditional Shaving
Shaving has been an important part of the Musgo Real identity for generations.
The 1887 Shaving Cream preserves the ritual and tactile experience of a traditional wet shave while providing a practical formula for contemporary use.
Lanolin and glycerin help soften facial hair, while coconut oil and jojoba oil complement the formula. Witch hazel and menthol contribute to the fresh feel associated with the Musgo Real shaving experience.
The cream can be worked into a rich lather and applied directly to the wet beard area, either with the fingertips or as part of a more traditional shaving routine with a shaving brush.
The result is a grooming experience that feels deliberately unhurried: rich lather, a close shave, fresh skin, and the subtle woody fragrance of 1887.
About Musgo Real
Musgo Real is the historic men's grooming and fragrance collection from Portuguese house Claus Porto.
Its legacy has been kept alive since 1887, passed from one generation to the next.
What began with fine soaps has evolved into an extensive collection of shaving creams, aftershaves, colognes, Eau de Toilette, soaps, and grooming essentials.
Throughout that evolution, Musgo Real has retained its distinctive character while adapting its formulas, fragrances, and presentation to contemporary tastes.
The 1887 collection captures that philosophy particularly well, combining traditional grooming with a fragrance designed around the meeting of heritage and modernity.

The tube is designed to remain practical throughout the life of the product, allowing the shaving cream to be used efficiently to the very last application.
Its vintage-inspired appearance complements the story of 1887 itself, creating a visual connection between Musgo Real's long history and its contemporary grooming collection.
