What soap/cream did you use today?

MdC Fougere

MdC Fougere

The fact that MDC doesn't make an EDT of this scent is a crime. And then, who would stock it in the US? Took forever for anyone to carry their soap.
It would also be great to know the actual fragrance notes list.

100% agree! Been saying that for years as it’s my favorite Fougere scent in a shave soap and it needs a matching aftershave. About a year and a half ago ( for selfish reasons ) I decided to try and get as close as I could to duplicating the blend and I’m about 90% there but there’s a sweetnesses in the MDC scent that has me stumped. It would make things much easier if the notes were listed.  I’m going to write them an email and ask just for the heck of it and see if they will share that info and then I’ll make one.

I smell the same lavender in this Fern that I smell in Barrister’s Reserve Lavender. It’s bright and has a sort of citrus twang without any sourness. Makes this a very nice fougère even on a hot and stifling day.

The scent notes in Stirling’s Hipster would seem right down my alley but the coffee, musk, leather, and wood are overcome by the floral/citrus accord leaving me with a very pleasant smelling soap that is a bit too unisex for me.  Don’t get me wrong, this is a wonderful scent but I was expecting a fairly masculine scent and got something more akin to an aquatic.  This scent is certainly at home in most folks scent corral but not heady enough for me.  This sample won’t lead to a full tub purchase but my oh my, Stirling has nothing to apologize for with their medium structure, super slick lather. Always impresses with I wave a brush around a tub of Stirling.

Ethos Grooming Succès shaving soap. Marvelous. This is probably my favorite of the Ethos soaps; it never fails to lift my spirits.
