What soap/cream did you use today?

If you like Terre D’Hermes, you will definitely like Fine’s take on this classic. Good stuff…….

Agreed!

One of my sons stole me DFS Eleven.  Don’t know which one though.

Brion shaving cream. Serbian. Widely available in small local stores, it even managed to make its way locally to the shiny shelves of big European apothecary retailers like DM, Rossman, Muller.

In the scent department Brion, both the cream and the aftershave splash, is trully something different. I think it's safe to say you've probably never smelled anything like it. It's just awful. A combination of dust, heavy chemicals and strong raw unrefined alcoholic drink. Yet, I love it for its originality. The cream is a bit more quiet but the splash is really loud, radiant and pungent. My wife even set a safe 1 meter distance rule while I'm wearing Brion. Performance-wise, the cream is quite decent. No complaints.



I purchased Brion on a recent trip to Serbia in Novi Sad (the second largest Serbian city and a very nice historical landmark).



While wandering the streets of Novi Sad I saw an awesome very inviting visual ad at a small pub (beer is not the main course at these well reputed gentleman club establishments but strong distilled spirits that go under different names across the region i.e. Rakija in Serbia and Bulgaria, Tzuika in Romania, Palinka in Hungary). That was the moment I felt right at home. The window ad was so reflective of the Balkans traditional way of getting wasted after a hard morning. There is little sense in staying sober too much over the course of a day.

As the smartest woman ever encountered (Slovenian) has stated: Russians live on hate and vodka, that applies to the Slavic soul. Never really understood adoptive father until meeting her.

To my Russian friends online, this not meant an insult. Much could be said of US psyche as well and, in any event, love my father and Russian culture dearly.

Williams Mug Soap

Lisa’s Orange-Patchouli. Grossly underrated offering from this lovely lady. Think of chugging a large glass of OJ as soon as your done mowing the lawn in the early morning sunrise with that fresh cut green grass aroma mingled in with some earthy slightly dirty nuance of Patchouli. I breath deep every single time. Love this stuff…..

This is just to add that the Balkans is a mixture of cultures, ethnicities and religions that includes but is not limited to Slav. In fact, it goes well beyond one single ethnicity/religion. Greek, Slav, Muslim, Hungarian, Latin (believe it or not, Romanian is a latin language; as a Romanian it could take me as little as 6 months to become fluent in Italian) are all part of the region. Strong alcoholic beverage is one of the common delights across the region.
