I haven't cracked this ceramic Tabac lid in ages, but today's theme narrowed my options to products from before the '80s, and I thought my stinky old friend might pair nicely with some vintage-styled fougères. It did.
More importantly, what a lather! I forgot how impressive the performance of the old tallow base is; the slickness and protection are at least as good as my favorite S-Tier artisan bases, even if Tabac is a bit more drying. Really excellent stuff.
