July 23, 2023 – “What IS that enchanting aroma?”

  • Brush: That Darn Rob White w/ Blue Ferule w/ Fanchurian
  • Razor: RazoRock Lupo SS .72
  • Blade: Wizamet (14)
  • Lather: Zingari – Mousse Illuminee
  • Post Shave: Zingari – Mousse Illuminee
  • Fragrance: Rogue Perfumery – Mousse Illuminee

Challenge: way too much soap. Not my best work 🙁.

Someone sent me a smoosh of this soap last year. I loved it, and ended up accumulating the trifecta over time. I received the soap as a birthday gift and everyone who smelled it really liked it. Soon after, I bought the soap and then ended up getting myself the fragrance for Christmas. It’s garnered multiple compliments.

I used the fragrance before I left the house early this morning. I didn’t have time to shave until later in the day. Below are my thoughts on the fragrance.

Mousse Illuminee is striking. It is dark and seductive and has an air of mystery about it. At first it smells mossy with a tonka-like smokiness and a cumin-like spice. Given some time to dry down, a prominent civet note makes itself known. I feel foolish for not picking it out sooner. Lavender is faint but present. florals are kept to a minimum. Once it gets down to base notes, the civet is faint, leaving mostly moss and bit of tonka.
