Philips Christaan Visser (1882-1955)

In plaats van het voor hem geijkte pad in het familiebedrijf te volgen besloot Philips Christiaan Visser alpinist te worden. Zijn internationale contacten in de bergsport brachten hem op het idee de nog niet geëxploreerde delen van het Karakoram-gebergte te ontdekken. Visser volgde, samen met zijn vrouw Jenny Hooft, zijn passie, verkocht het familiebedrijf en trok naar Midden-Azië. Visser leidde tussen 1922 en 1935 vier succesvolle expedities naar de Karakoram. Daar exploreerde hij als onderzoeker enorme bergmassieven, grote gletsjers en dalen die niet op de landkaarten stonden. Bovendien publiceerde hij het meest gevarieerde Nederlandse oeuvre op het gebied van bergsport en glaciologie. Met zijn publicaties, lezingen en expedities inspireerde hij veel jonge alpinisten. Als bestuurder was hij van beslissende betekenis voor de groei en positionering van de in 1902 opgerichte Nederlandsche Alpen-Vereeniging. Zo groeide Philips Christiaan Visser uit tot Nederlands laatste ontdekkingsreiziger en bekendste bergsporter in de periode voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Na zijn expedities bracht Vissers diplomatieke carrière hem in Brits-Indië, Turkije en Zuid-Afrika. In 1948 werd hij ambassadeur in Moskou. Maarten Faas tekent in deze biografie voor het eerst het volledige veelbewogen leven op van Visser als bergbeklimmer, expeditieleider, ontdekkingsreiziger, glacioloog, diplomaat en auteur. Maarten Faas (1957) is sociaal wetenschapper, auteur en fervent alpinist. Hij stelde onder meer de Nederlandse bergsportcanon op en schreef over alpinisme in de Hoogtelijn en De Bergvriend.

Beat the Humidity with This Citrus Powerhouse
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
​In the middle of a brutal, humid Philippine summer, finding a body wash that actually boosts your confidence is a game-changer. Cremo’s Italian Bergamot isn’t just a soap; it’s a full olfactory experience. It opens with a vibrant, tart Italian bergamot that immediately cuts through the heat, followed by the freshness of vetiver, and the neroli blossom adds a sophisticated floral touch. ​True to Cremo’s Reserve collection, the scent is beautifully layered. It builds in intensity as you lather, allowing the earthy, fresh vetiver to anchor the citrus. Unlike many drugstore options, this lingers—stepping out of the shower, you can still catch the crisp citrus and the clean, woody dry-down on your skin. It’s the ultimate reset for a hot day.

I Smell Like a Gentleman Who Owns a Fireplace
Scent: Bourbon Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The fragrance is warm, woody, and slightly sweet...that low amber note that smells expensive without trying to smell expensive, which, as we all know, is the actual expensive smell. My wife walked past me twenty minutes post-shower and said, unprompted, "You smell really good." I nodded like I had planned this. The lather is genuinely rich; squeeze a modest amount and it blooms into a thick, creamy foam that covers everything efficiently. The texture is silky rather than watery, which matters more than people admit. Watery body washes feel like rinsing off with slightly scented regret. This one feels intentional. It cleans, and your skin actually feels clean afterward, not just rinsed. And the moisturizing? I wasn't expecting it. No greasy film, no lotion-begging dry patches by midday. Just quietly softer skin that doesn't make a big announcement about it. Now, my honest gripe: the scent longevity has a ceiling. By mid-afternoon you're back to neutral. That's the gap between four stars and five for me. For daily freshness and an incredible morning window of smelling genuinely great, it absolutely delivers...but it won't carry you to bedtime. On value: 16 fl oz is decent, the lather is efficient so the bottle lasts, and the price sits in that sweet spot where you feel like someone who makes slightly elevated but still reasonable choices, which is exactly the vibe this entire product is going for.

Lathers great in a small amount!
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lathers great for a small amount! A fair price for the amount and rich content. I just bought, used and love it. Definitely will purchase again. I love the sophisticated yet sensible smell doesn't overpower. In my perception it is a unisex scent as I am a woman and bought for myself.
