Rapha’s Ventoux1911 Chamois Cream: A Scented Nod to Mont Ventoux
Cycling enthusiasts know that the right chamois cream can make all the difference on long rides, and Rapha has taken this essential product to a new level with the launch of its Ventoux1911 chamois cream. This latest creation celebrates the iconic Mont Ventoux, blending functionality with the aromatic essence of the famed Provence landscape.
For anyone who has cycled Mont Ventoux, the memory of its lavender-lined foothills and pine-scented breezes is unforgettable. Rapha’s Ventoux1911 encapsulates these sensory delights, combining natural ingredients like lavender, rosemary, juniper berry, patchouli, and menthol to deliver a soothing and aromatic anti-friction cream. The addition of menthol provides what the brand calls a “cool carriage” effect, ensuring comfort on even the most grueling rides.
This isn’t Rapha’s first foray into the world of scented chamois creams. The brand previously offered a rosemary-infused version, which earned a devoted following before being discontinued. The return of the cream – now with a revamped formula and new fragrance profile – has already sparked excitement among cycling communities online.
The timing of the launch is significant, coinciding with the Tour de France’s return to Mont Ventoux. The Ventoux1911 name itself pays homage to the mountain's 1911-metre elevation, underscoring its connection to cycling heritage.
Priced at £20 in the UK and $25 in the US, Ventoux1911, making it accessible for cyclists eager to elevate their ride comfort while indulging in the essence of Provence.
