Our interpretation of the classic Fougere scent will beckon you to inhale deeply again and again
This is my first time using Captain's Choice soap, even though I've been using a heavy copper Captain's Choice bowl for years (first almost daily, as a bowl lathering precision loader, but that got ruined for me in July 2021, when I started using boar brushes, and the fact that I had to soak them and that an undetermined amount of water becomes unavailable to the lather meant that loading wasn't precise anymore. I've since not only dropped precision loading, but bowl lathering altogether, except for samples).
Land Ho! is a green and sweet fougère, and reminds me a bit of Spearhead's Heather. The base is super soft (like, milksteak soft) and lathered without a hitch. Following sweet, happy Land Ho! with Varen is like swinging a big oakmoss hammer, and after two spritzes of Fougère Gothique, I mainly smell Varen with mushrooms.

I'll use the challenge to hype our AA challenge:
Days of Weckoning,
Your skill decides flair or blood,
Austerity come.
Edit: And a little extra because I remembered my pirate themed title:
August brews windward,
Weckoning ~~day~~ be upon us,
Austere souls beware.
