La Lessive is LAVOIR’s first liquid laundry soap.

Made in small batches in Cheltenham with traditional Marseille soap flakes, water, and our signature perfume — composed in Grasse as a return to a softer way of caring for linen.

It is built around soap, not a conventional detergent system. No optical brighteners. Nothing sharp. Nothing overpowering. Just fabric left clean, soft, and gently perfumed.

For stubborn marks, treat the fabric first, then wash as usual.

Because linen remembers.

A 1L tin gives approximately 30 washes — around £1.07 per wash.

The feeling

Linen dried outside.

Soft soap.

A clean, quiet perfume — never sharp, never loud.

Made with

Water, our signature perfume composed in Grasse, France, and 100% vegetable-oil Marseille soap flakes.

Aqua, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Hexyl Salicylate.

Made with Marseille soap flakes and perfume composed in Grasse.

French-inspired laundry soap — Marseille soap, perfume from Grasse.

“It’s arrived and it’s stunning; it certainly elevates dirty clothes. Even my unobservant hubby was intrigued by the parcel. Everything is delightful — the packaging, the tea towel, the wooden peg — but oh, the smell is like a walk through the French countryside on a warm day.”

Shake gently before use. Use the 10ml wooden spoon to measure — around three level spoons (30ml) per wash. Pour into your machine drawer or directly into the drum, adjusting for load, water hardness and how soiled the laundry is.

Suitable for machine and hand washing. La Lessive isn't a stain remover — pre-treat stubborn marks first, then wash as usual.

A gentle, low-key freshness inspired by Savon de Marseille — soap-clean and soft, never overpowering. Perfume certified in Grasse, France.
