Description

Courageux 2-in-1 Dog Shampoo is a cleansing and conditioning wash designed to refresh the coat while leaving it soft, clean and lightly fragranced.

Its complete shampoo base gently lifts everyday dirt, odour and build-up while conditioning the coat in a single step, making it ideal for regular bathing and easy grooming at home. The fragrance is incorporated into the wash itself, allowing Courageux to remain subtly present on the coat after bath time and layer beautifully with the matching Hound Fragrance.

The Courageux parfum draws on pure essential oils, natural botanicals and aromatic resins. Italian bergamot and sweet orange bring vivid citrus brightness before Bulgarian clary sage and Damask rose move through the heart, settling into Himalayan cedarwood, vanilla and frankincense.

Fresh, grounding and quietly energising, Courageux turns bath time into a ritual that feels uplifting, confident and composed.

The composition

A Scent of Quiet Strength

Zesty citrus & aromatic woods rise through warm, sunlit air — uplifting, confident & composed.

Top NotesThe first inhale

Italian Bergamot · Sweet Orange

Bright bergamot and juicy orange create a fresh, sparkling citrus opening with a clean, sunlit character.

Heart NotesThe core theme

Bulgarian Clary Sage · Damask Rose

Aromatic clary sage moves through soft rose, bringing a herbal, lightly floral warmth to the centre.

Base NotesThe linger

Himalayan Cedarwood · Vanilla · Frankincense

Dry cedarwood settles into smooth vanilla and resinous frankincense for a warm, grounded finish.

Why it is different

Fragrance for dogs, held to a fine-fragrance standard

Most dog sprays mask. This is a composition — built to a brief by our in-house perfumer, then reformulated until it behaves on a coat.

Used by vets & groomers Australia wide

Assessed against the current IFRA Standards, the same framework used for fine fragrance.

Made to linger

Composed to linger on the coat for days rather than fill the room, so it never overwhelms a dog’s nose.

Formulated & poured in-house

All of our products are formulated, blended, bottled and assembled in-house — quality control and compliance are our top priority.

Perfumer's notes

Composed by a perfumer, for a household with a dog in it

I wanted Courageux to make grooming feel less practical and more joyful. There’s something hilarious about watching a freshly washed hound immediately regain their confidence — the shake, the zoomies, the strut through the house. This one belongs to that personality.

Before you buy

The questions we get asked

What is a 2-in-1 Clarifying Hound Shampoo?

Our 2-in-1 formula combines cleansing and coat-conditioning benefits into one simple wash step. It is designed to remove the everyday build-up, dirt and odour that collects between baths while leaving the coat ready for grooming and fragrance.

What makes the Aromatherapy Inspired Collection different?

These shampoos pair functional coat cleansing with botanical-inspired fragrance profiles. The scents are designed to feel fresh, calming and naturally aromatic, making them ideal for customers who prefer a less traditionally perfumed grooming experience.

Will the shampoo leave a strong fragrance behind?

The shampoo leaves a softer scent on the coat after rinsing rather than behaving like a leave-on perfume. For a more noticeable and longer-lasting fragrance experience, follow with the matching Aromatherapy Inspired Hound Fragrance once the coat is dry.

Do I still need a separate conditioner?

For many routine washes, the 2-in-1 format is designed to streamline cleansing and conditioning into one step. Individual coat requirements vary, however, so hounds with specialised grooming or coat-care needs may still benefit from products recommended specifically for their coat type.

How much should I use?

Use enough product to work comfortably through the wet coat and create an even cleanse. The amount required will vary considerably between a small short-haired hound and a large or densely coated breed, so there is no need to over-apply.

Can I use it with the matching Hound Fragrance?

Yes — they were designed to work together. Shampoo first, rinse thoroughly and dry the coat before finishing with the matching Hound Fragrance for a more complete scent-layering ritual.
