Cèdre-Orange v. (Le Père Lucien) cedar & orange
Cedar finds it way into many of LPL's soaps, but only two feature it on their label: the excellent Cèdre-Patchouli and today's soap, Cèdre-Orange. Even though it smells earthy, there's nothing ground breaking about this scent. L'Occitane offered their Cèdre-Oranger fragrance years before this soap was made. And in fact the contrast of cedar and citrus is the starting point for many classic and modern colognes: Terre d'Hermes, for instance. But few colognes smell quite as simple or quite as dirty as Cèdre-Orange. The citrus is straight up sweet orange. I wonder, though, where LPL gets this musty wood. The scent of the soap reminds me of an old French farmhouse with bitter marmalade simmering on the stove. I'm enjoying this now, but I'm going to love it come fall.

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
