Lucky coincidence with today's sponsor - didn't know she was scheduled for today.
The Magician is one of my favourite scents in wetshaving. Really nice light fresh powdery fern with sweet orange blossom / neroli dancing on top. Very pretty to me (even if it reminds some past and present judges from the Indian Sub-Continent of some eastern brand of toilet bowl cleaner). I'm disappointed that the pre-blended fragrance oil used for The Magician got discontinued because I can see the bottom of this tub now. Followed up with some Skin Bracer (a similarly light, sweet, powdery fern) and my absolute favourite straight-up-green fougère: Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. Right from its bug-spray-sharp opening to its mega-soapy-heart to its soft mossy drydown - I love all of it. Even the bottle design! Beautiful stuff. There's a reason I'm just reusing an older photo from years past for today's shave.
