The tidbit the podcast about WK Fern Concerto was a bit funny, especially consider WK offers fougere mania, parfaite, and bouquet all as fougere options.
For #FOF mania is a bit citrusy and slightly floral take. Fern (Wills recreation/tribute to Fougere Royale which I of course haven’t smelled) is clean and crisp green, with mossy undertones. Gothique is on the opposite end of the spectrum, super earthy and damp, mushroom like. Though hints of bitter citrus peek through that actually feel more prominent as time goes on (at ~2 hours) which is unique in that I feel citrus is often the first to fade. I know it’s popular in these parts, but I’m still partial to its lighter and brighter sister scent FA.
For our #PHOTOCONTEST we went with Bokeh Balls. Who would have thought LG photos would take center stage over T Swift at Wembley?! Clearly r/wetshaving is a global phenomenon.
