Used to be one of my favorite scents however the last time I used it I developed a GI bug later that day with severe nausea. Now the scent is associated wit nausea. Think I’m going to have to get rid of this stuff. What a shame.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

basique (Grooming Dept) sawdust
The scent of basique is inspired by Comme des Garçon's Wonderwood fragrance. The two are a close match, but honestly, I think the soap smells better than the perfume. It's deeper and smoother. In fact, the soap's sharp, dry spicy aroma pairs nicely with Hermès Vetiver Tonka, one of my favorite vetiver scents. The puck, on the other hand, has dried and hardened since I started it last June. Still, I'm burning through it. With luck this tub will yield about 30 shaves. Reckoning the cost for each lathering, this isn't my most expensive soap, but it's close to the top, both in terms of pennies and performance.
