Stone Cottage is a small soap company based in North Jersey that doesn't make shave soap any more, I have this sample thanks to u/jwoods23. The fougere scent is great, definitely leans a bit more powdery to my nose. But the base is just ok, I bowl lathered and really pushed the hydration and still it wasn't super slick and leaves the face feeling dry. Followed it up with Fougere Mania, which is a more citrusy fougere, and then a few sprays of one of my favorite fragrances, Ineke's Idyllwild, which is an aromatic fougere that smells like a walk in a cool California forest. I adore this scent. I even used a green brush to embrace the fougere spirit.
There once was a shaver named Enndeegee,
Who took inspiration from TLC,
Keeping a list of scrubs,
For his wetshaving club,
All that reading made him cranky.
