Today is the day
The beloved day in which
We count syllables
Twenty five verses
An exercise in Haiku
Versatility
Fougère Mania
The soap of the day some say
Smells like dirty feet
Bittersweet orange
Is the note of Neroli
Citrusy, light, green
The more I smell it
The more I appreciate
The note they call foul
My third time choosing
Sometimes it takes persistence
Third time lucky, eh?
The Cremo Vie Long
Horse’s ass for a hashtag
Favorite it is not
Not a bad brush though
Pleasingly floppy it is
Contrasty to boar
Like any good horse
A performer it will be
Just treat it with care
Suitable lather
All it needs is some coaxing
Delivers reward
Master EldrormR
Created the scimitar
I shave with today
Ever Ready head
Two classics in harmony
Handle of a GEM
Buttering the toast
Has never been so easy
Wielding this sword
Fourteen forty-five
A commemoration of
The first Lord called Forbes
Fresh ferns and grasses
A light and timeless fragrance
Distinctly British
Aristocratic
Enduring throughout the day
Smelling freshly bathed
A sticky deceit
Initially not a fan
But patiently wait
The finish is smooth
The ingredients absorb
Skin feels nourished
Classic or cloying?
Brut Parfums Prestige for men
Underrated gem
Fabergé Paris
A cologne most popular
Launched in ‘64
Sentimental scent
Powerful and long-lasting
The essence of men
Cheap smelling to some
Lacking versatility
Not your cup of tea
Alas we conclude
This poetry of Japan
Epic masterpiece
Fear not shaving friends
In the making of this verse
No poets were harmed
Too long did not read
All my products were Fougère
Give me all the points
