Ordered LGC, Latha Taiga, the two new Latha splashes and the second-last jar of Adagio!

Excited to try LGC since I started looking for a Chypre soap to compliment one of my favorite scents L'Homme from Roger & Gallet. Will doesn't know if there is any similarity but it will be fun to find out. I'm sure it is an outstanding soap nmw.

Definitely let me know because R&G L'Homme is one of my favorite scents, too, and I only have one more puck of the soap left.  (By the way, an incredible soap, not just for scent but for all around performance.)

Regarding the vegan soaps, Will, are there any plans to use those scents in your tallow formula? I wish I'd bought the Anise and Vetiver you had instead of Dickens.

Sadly, Anise & Vetiver (which I LOVED) didn't sell well. But we're considering bringing Petrichor back sometime next year.

That's too bad. Oh well. One more question: Why does your warning for Taiga advise against ordering if  juniper causes problems on your skin when juniper isn't mentioned in the scent description? Are cedar and juniper that closely related?

I've been looking for a puck of L'Homme, no luck...so I have hopes for the LGC.

If you haven't bought Le Grand Chypre or Taiga you are seriously missing out on two home run scents. Everyone in the Italian Barber office was very impressed today, hats off to Will for his creativity.

They are! Cedar is in the juniper family (as is cade oil) and I had no idea that a juniper allergy was so common when I started the business (and, really, it's hard to work with perfume without SOME kind of cedar derivative). We're EXTREMELY careful to avoid cross-contamination, but I put up a warning to make sure that no one buys it accidentally.

Thanks very much, Joe. Smile
