West Egg is an r/Wetshaving exclusive collaboration between Storybook Soap Works and Chatillon Lux. Unfortunately, Storybook is no longer. Their base is still great by today's standards. West Egg and Shaken are two of my favorites in this base. West Egg smells so delicious. It's incredibly creamy while still having a touch of that champagne bite. Persephone is also sweet and I think the tart pomegranite red fruit goes nicely with the champagne creaminess.
I don't know why, but songs about champage just make me think of Like a G6. I'm probably just showing my age as this song was popular when I was in college.
