Keeping with my usual #FougereFriday theme, I had plenty of great fougère choices from B+M. However, one fougère scent from CGC stood out as a clear contender.
While Armonía is officially a scent by Ben of HoM, Darkwing is criminally underrated. Vida of CGC quietly produces some amazing soap bases, and her partnership with Ben has proved that as well.
B+M, with their large scent catalog and history of great soap bases—culminating in Omnibus, will likely take the win today, but I'm rooting for the underdog.
Rating: 4.5/5
