    Default Truefitt and Hill bought by Loreal

    As of April 1st 2009, Truefitt and hill will be liquidating all its stock in its own mans grooming products and will start moving Personalized versions of Loreals Masculine products under the Brand "T&H Classics" and will provide some of its classic scents like 1805 or Trafalgar in pressurised foam containers,

    This is the end of an era when one of londons oldest and most respected perfumers is forced to sell its business to a large company and redesign its product line to fit the modern man, providing a quick and comftarble shave aswell as providing a much needed image lift,

    Loreal hopes that with this step, it can make headway in to the mans grooming market currently controled by giants as Beiersdorf (Nivea) and Proctor & Gamble (Gillette)

    It's not on their website.

    But they do own Kiehl's and Body Shop.

    I think Kiehl's hasn't changed. The only issue is that they make up a lot, sell it, and then retailers who run out have to wait for them to make more. This causes some smaller retailers to be back ordered while they wait for more.

    You scared the living crap out of me that I might never get the opportunity to try T&H.

    Yup! Though this is more believable than Axe buying Penhaligans.

    I've never used T&H but my eyes widened and I was like "what the..." Thankfully, it's all just a joke. Ok, I'll stop stroking out now.

    I knew it was a fake as soon as I saw it. The company is called L'Or&#233;al, not Loreal!
