PIC OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

INTRORight, after yesterday I want to say sorry! I will not endanger anyone else for LG points! The Spite Shave wars with u/Priusaurus will have to be put on hold. Truce! Of course he has to be the smug one who waves his flag and gets the moral high ground... Figures... But as we said, none of that anymore!

DAILY THEME

It was tough to pick out a winner, cause my most compliment getter, is a tie between Tobacconist and Fougere Gothique, I think I would have used Tobacconist, but this damn callender man.... I love both a lot and whenever I wear either of them get compliments for the scent I am wearing. More on this in the #FOF

DAILY CHALLENGE

You want to laugh at my lather? Here! I hope that Mr. Lather brings a smile on your face!

#FOF

It is not an accident that this is one of my favourite scents. Where do I even start. I bought the soap, it was a blind buy, a full tub blind buy. The first whiff I got off of it my face made a face, but with every second of prolonged exposure to this scent I grew fonder and fonder of it. At the end of the day I knew, I HAD TO GET THE FULL TRIFECTA!!!

All three products have different emphasis on what is the dominant note. The soap is the most mushroomiest, after that the aftershave really puts forward the ash and smoke scents and the EdP in the end is adding the leather, wood and oakmoss, and this ain't no ordinary oakmoss. It's a cave damp oakmoss!

Lots of people compare this scent to what a grave might smell like, I wouldn't say so. It evokes strong memories of when I was picking mushrooms with my parents in the woods. The mushroom part is quite present.

When combining the three products one after another you get something quite unique that is neither the soap, aftershave or EdP. It just mixes everything and becomes a reaaaaaally unique scent. Funny thing is, that the aftershave is stronger than the EdP, at least to my nose!
