Lather Games 2024 Day 13: Dupelgänger Day.
Use of Theme: Dupelgänger Day
Having heard the merits and magic of Prom King a couple years ago, it led me on a search to acquire the soap and aftershave for myself. Having tried a sample vial of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male from the u/Scarpux Traveling Box of Samples, I can say that Prom King is a very nice dupe. Being 11 months removed, I wish my nose remembered it better. From the Prom King I get a hint of latex that starts off fairly sharp, but mellows out in the drydown. I presume there is a particular fragrance note at play.
Cuba Paris Cuba Gold is our fragrant finish today. I bought it partially because of the description of the scent, but more for the cigar-shaped bottle. It turns out that it smells similar to Le Male because it actually precedes it and has been said to be the inspiration for the JPG classic.
Daily Challenge: Draw a Soap Label
For Christmas, the Donut fam gave me tickets to see Styx and Foreigner on their Renegades and Jukebox Heroes tour and we saw them last night on the second stop of the tour. Ordinarily, I would just sit down and draw the label of whatever I am using but u/Engineered_Shave’s label combined with a minorly misfortunate event that transpired last night gave me the spur-of-the-moment idea which I present to you.
Happy shaving, and there were no injuries. The deer was already deceased and the damage to the underside of the car was minimal.
Edit: corrected tour name, edt name
