Fougère Classique (Barrister & Mann) Fougère Friday
Shave 1
Is this the same fragrance as Barrister's Reserve Classic? I remember giving that tub away since I didn’t really like the smell. I may do the same with this Fougère Classique. What have I got against it? I smell a pungent side note that reminds me of the Naugahyde seats in an old truck that's been sitting out in the summer sun. Maybe the soap should be called Fougère Plastique?
But I have to admit that this Omnibus lather is exceptional. One gram made enough silken lather for five passes. And the slickness is otherworldly. I’m going to keep this soap solely for its performance. I hope to eventually make peace with the smell.
