• Brush: Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic 24mm
• Razor: Karve CB SB-B
• Blade: Lord Classic (4)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw – Fougère Bouquet
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Fougère Angelique
• Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Deep Blue Sea

Three fougères today that feel very different for each other. Despite their popularity, this is a fragrance category that I struggle with. I think the first fougère I bought was the generally beloved Seaforth! Heather, but I had to sell it because it was just too strong for me. At this point, I mostly hold onto the few fougères I have for the lather games.

My soap, splash, and frag today all share notes of sandalwood, cedar, tonka bean, and lavender, and share other notes that are in the same family as each other. Despite this, WK’s soap, B&M’s splash, and Stirling’s dupe of Bleu de Chanel all have distinctly different profiles. With each product’s fragrance lasting longer than the next, there was a nice transition between each fougère profile. I’m not sure which I like best, but today’s shave may have convinced me to actually enjoy this scent profile – I guess, just like food, sometimes you need exposure to really appreciate something. #FOF

I used to dislike

the family they call fougère.

I guess I was wrong.
