The Noir et Vanille from NO is a wonderful scent based on Earl Grey tea. I heard it was based on the tea from Harney & Sons, which coincidently I have as well (and Royal Palace which someone from here recommended but I cannot remember who). Armonia is paired with it due to its listed bergamot note and my college friend’s tradition of caffeine and a cigarette. Obviously, this tobacco scent is about as many times better than a cigarette as /u/USS-SpongeBob has consecutive shaves.
For the challenge today, I got to smell a fully formed breakfast at dinnertime with bacon on the stove for cassoulet while I shaved with NO’s soap in my kitchen. For those of you who may not have had a traditional French Cassoulet, I would encourage you to try it next time it is on a menu. I had my trusty scuttle and kitchen sink, an oven door mirror, and uncomfortable hardwood seat. Also, don't drink and shave. Or you get a couple nicks like me.
