Cologne-Fougère v. (Le Père Lucien) lavender, rosemary, mint, hay, bergamot, green tobacco
Le Père Lucien makes an odd soap. It's given me some of best shaves (Traditionnel, Italian Barbershop), and also some of my worst (Rose de Pushkar, Oud-Santal). Fresh off the boat each tub makes a wonderful lather; after about a year, though, some start to crystallize and their lather grows weak. Kneading the soap seems to help, but maybe the best approach is to simply use it up before it seizes. I'll make May my Le Père Lucien month, and I'll do my best to burn through as much product as possible.
