I am actually one of those who love it.  It is an amazing Fougere.  It is not a MdC type Fougere.  It has more true fern smell.  

The three scents from LJDJ that I receive the most compliments when wearing are Spanish Fern, Yo Solo, and Brihuega.  All three are keepers to me in terms of fragrances and have interesting twists to standard scents.  For example, Brihuega is a lavender scent with tobacco and tonka bean, making it much more masculine.  Spanish fern has some sweetness to it, maybe from the bergamot and orange?  The soap therefore does not smell dark and too earthy, which I don’t care for, like some Fougere opposite of MdC.    

I would also rank Spanish Fern higher than Citrico Excentrico, Kilix, Masala Connection, and Quacos—the other fragrances I have tried. The two that I really want to sample next are Black Rose and Joserra Rodrigo.  The soaps and balms were not available when I started looking into LJDJ.

Brihuega (lavender, soap)

What was noticed (beyond the brilliantly insightful soap theme) is the creaminess and nourishing feel, apparent after the first pass.

Getting an opportunity to trial these; anticipating greatness

She is very musically talented, as are her siblings. More importantly, she was raised properly.

Good Company – Los Jabones de Joserra
  • Sweet, spicy gourmand which brings baked treats—oatmeal cookies or somesuch—to mind.
  • Scent is robust and noticeable during the shave.
  • Lather-to-soap ratio seems stingy, poor, which does beg the value question.
  • Slick sheen deposited to skin may be kind of compensatory for the lack of lather.
  • Post-feel has been glorious—soft, pillowy—even hours later.

Is this a clay based soap? Explains low lather and good post shave to me.

As a matter of fact, bentonite is the last ingredient in Good Company as well as a couple other Joserras on hand.  Several other Joserra soaps show kaolin as the last ingredient.

Lather-suppression is a very unfortunate side effect for a shaving soap component, isn't it.

Good work, Inspector.
