Cool ocean air, aromatic herbs, and warm woods transform the traditional wet shave with Claus Porto Musgo Real Alto Mar Shaving Cream, a rich 100 ml shaving cream inspired by the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal's enduring connection to the sea.

Designed to help soften the beard and create a smooth, comfortable shave, the Musgo Real shaving cream formula combines lanolin and glycerin with conditioning ingredients including coconut and jojoba oils. Its creamy texture creates a rich protective lather while the fresh Alto Mar fragrance turns an everyday grooming ritual into something distinctly more invigorating.

The fragrance opens with the aquatic freshness of calone and mint, accented by aromatic anise. A heart of absinth, jasmine, and rosemary evokes wild coastal vegetation before cashmere woods, tonka, and vetiver provide a warm, sophisticated foundation.

Fresh, aromatic, and woody, Alto Mar captures the contrast between cool Atlantic waters and the sun-warmed Portuguese coast.

Alto Mar opens with the cool aquatic character of calone and mint, immediately suggesting fresh ocean air and open water. A touch of anise introduces aromatic complexity.

At the heart, absinth and rosemary create a distinctly herbal character, softened by jasmine.

As the fragrance settles, cashmere woods provide smooth woody warmth while tonka introduces subtle sweetness. Vetiver completes the composition with its dry, earthy character.

The contrast between water, aromatic herbs, and warm woods gives Alto Mar its distinctive identity: the cool Atlantic meeting the rugged landscape of the Portuguese coast.

The Story Behind Alto Mar

For Portugal, the sea has always represented more than the edge of the land.

It is a place of departure and return, possibility and uncertainty, adventure and discovery.

That relationship with the Atlantic became the inspiration for Musgo Real Alto Mar.

The name evokes the open sea, beyond the protection of the coast, where the horizon seems almost limitless.

Claus Porto created Alto Mar as a tribute to that horizon and to the desire for adventure and freedom that the house sees as an enduring part of the Portuguese spirit.

The fragrance was created by French perfumer Daphné Bugey, who has lived in Portugal since 2018 and chose the country in part to be closer to nature and the ocean.

Her composition moves naturally between sea and land.

Calone and mint evoke the cool freshness of the water.

Rosemary and absinth suggest aromatic vegetation growing near the coast.

Finally, vetiver, tonka, and cashmere woods bring the fragrance back toward warm earth and wood.

Used in the Alto Mar Shaving Cream, that story becomes part of the morning grooming ritual, bringing the invigorating character of the Atlantic to the traditional wet shave.

About Musgo Real

Musgo Real is the historic men's grooming and fragrance collection from Portuguese house Claus Porto.

Its heritage reaches back to 1887, with a legacy passed from generation to generation. What began with fine soaps has evolved into a complete grooming collection encompassing shaving creams, aftershaves, colognes, Eau de Toilette, body care, and traditional soaps.

Shaving remains an important part of Musgo Real's identity.

Its contemporary shaving creams combine the character of a traditional grooming ritual with conditioning formulas and the distinctive fragrances of the modern Musgo Real collection.

Alto Mar brings a particularly fresh interpretation to that heritage, connecting the ritual of shaving with Portugal's most enduring natural influence: the Atlantic Ocean.
