Purple and green: the mercurial beguilement of lavender, right there.
David : DE shaving since Nov 2014. Nowadays giving in to the single-edge siren call.

onethinline quite right! Some fougeres tilt towards the green with other herbaceous notes, and others emphasize lavender (and smell more purple in the process). In my opinion B&M's Fougere Classique is so versatile precisely because it straddles the gap between these two styles.

Think you're going to get quite a charge out of Barrister's Reserve Lavender, once we release it. The purplest lavender there ever was. Big Grin

To all spreading the word, please make sure to provide everyone with the link to the terms of the production run (included in the reddit link provided). Much better than simply providing the link to the collection itself. These are not going to be shipping for awhile yet and I don't want to receive angry emails about what a horribly untruthful pirate I am. Big Grin

Will do (ha), and many thanks for this limited run. Very generous of you.

Any ETA on Kyovu Cheshire returning to stock?

Will, I've likely asked this before but there's nothing like repetition to drive home a point - do you have plans, and if so what is a ballpark estimate of timing for stocking the Barrister's Reserve in Canada with one of your vendors? Your reference to an impending Lavender release, which I happen to really, really like is so tantalizing that the thought that it will be inaccessible to me is just sad Sad

We're not sure yet. Lavender will not be part of the initial release (just sent the fragrance off to the lab Wednesday), so it's going to take us awhile to finish it. Selecting the fragrance was quite a challenge; there are lots of beautiful and rare/discontinued lavender fragrances, so I had to find one that I deemed truly special enough for preservation. It took some time.
