Fougere Cream Suggestions

My vintage Houbigant Fougere Royal soap is running out of gas now, and I am gradually trying to shift from soaps over to creams. I have been partial to the Houbigant scent, with its dark greenness and complexity, but I have to admit also liking vintage Penhaligon's English Fern, with a lighter and simpler fragrance with sandalwood at the base.

What are your suggestions for a best/favorite fougere shaving cream?
Creams only, please, not soaps. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Scent wise I love Jeremyn street from TOBS. While I’m not crazy about it’s performance I do love the scent.
However nuavia black and blue are amazing. I don’t think they are considered fougeres but they have the ingredients a fougere is known for.
I don’t know if Ariana & Evans has a cream form of Grecian Horse but that’s another wonderful scent. Timeless IMO.

Only one I can think of for a green/strict fougere that you are looking for is Royal Fougere by Asylum Shave Works (Bullgoose). It was available in cream and soap (both made by WSP). But I'm not sure it's even made any more unfortunately.
Performance was excellent. Scent was very close to Pen's EF and Trumper Wild Fern.

Yes, it appears that the soap still is available, but the cream was discontinued. I would love to find some.

Really, the soap is still available? Can you point out where I might purchase it? I have been looking for
that soap for awhile...

Ah, it was actually the Eufros that I saw on Bullgoose's site as I was clicking through, not the Asylum. Sorry.

Hello John

I may be able to help you with this. Get in touch my friend .

My vintage Houbigant Fougere Royal soap is running out of gas now, and I am gradually trying to shift from soaps over to creams. I have been partial to the Houbigant scent, with its dark greenness and complexity, but I have to admit also liking vintage Penhaligon's English Fern, with a lighter and simpler fragrance with sandalwood at the base.

John, a few creams that come to mind are Stone Cottage's Fougère, D. R. Harris' Arlington (a cologne/fougère), Taylor of Old Bond Street's Jermyn Street and Mr Taylor, and Truefitt & Hill's Grafton (citrus, lavender, incense). 

None of these creams smells exactly like Fougère Royal, but I think they all could be called fougères, broadly speaking, since they have a strong citrus-aromatic accord set in a woody base. Some of them are dusted with spice as well.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, guys, I appreciate it.

What about Tabac?  Thats a fougere isn't it?  And even if its not its, well, its Tabac.  It comes in soap, stick and cream form as well.  Aaah, Tabac
