Morning
Fougere Friday at last so I get to break out one of my favorite sets.
Created for APRs Third Anniversary as a nod to the OG Fougere that started it all 1882 Fougere Rolyale, but this isnt a clone at all this is a reimagining if you will and with more notes than a night at the proms they include:
Top Notes : Lavender, Bergamot, Clarysage & Petitgrain.
Heart Notes : Geranium, Heliotrope, Rose, Orchid & Carnation.
Base notes : Oakmoss, Tonka, Musk, Vanilla & Hay.
This is one of the few sets I own that normal muggle folk actually compliment, often they say it smells like a laundry detergent but for me although this is a Fougere the rose almost steals the show.
The razor today I could only find to be know as “The Pineapple” from Rotbart, its not seen all that often and I believe from new it would of been Silver Plated so as you can see its seen better days. The shave from this beast is so efficient its scary, after staying away from OC razors for so long I’m and finding myself adding them more and more to the den.
Daily Challenge
I think I did this correct
