A Friend of mine turned me on to this Soap. He said “It’s the best Fougere I’ve ever smelled”. I love Fougere scents, and after he said he considered the Base to be Top Tier it was a done deal. Today was my first use of Joserra ‘Spanish Fern’, and off the puck it smelled like a very Green, spicy Fougere. While lathering the Scent became much stronger, very intoxicating. I have to agree with my Friend, this is the best Fougere I’ve ever smelled in a Soap. While lathering the base reminded me of Elmer’s glue. I continued to add water little by little and the lather just exploded. The finished product was very thick and slick, with lots of cushion. I had an excellent three pass shave, and my skin still feels great. I’m looking forward to trying other Scents from this Artisan, as well as trying the matching Splashes. Very pleasantly surprised with this one!
Honestly Hunter, I love a complex FOUGÈRE and this one is right there with Beaudelaire. Beaudelaire is a MASTERPIECE, the Mousse de Saxe sets this one apart “from all the rest.”  HOWEVER, Joserra Spanish Fern is SENSATIONAL! A different FOUGÈRE than B&M, this one is in its own scent league much like Beaudelaire.  There are many FOUGÈRE scented soaps to choose from, these two will be the two I alternate between.  

I couldn’t figure out where the slight spice came from; he splashed in a little clove, just enough tho! The green earthy-ness of this one combines all the fir’s I like with a hint of patchouli, spice and herbs. 

This one is as thirsty as a Friday Night Dancer in an Orlando Gentleman’s Club.  I kept adding water, eye dropper by eye dropper and the result was an intoxicating yoghurt lather. Absolutely one of the most sexy scents in the FOUGÈRE category!

Pasteur received a phone call from me on 2.8.2022, I requested 8 Splash for this one as I can only find it in Berlin and Milan….

If you like FOUGÈRE, this is a must.  I’ve paired it with Penhaligon’s EF Tonic borrowed from my Grandfather’s 2 litre!

CHEERS to jshaves2554 for turning me on to this Artisan!

Ok, great post you enabler. Thirsty as a dancer in Orlando... Belly laff here. Maybe a stripper in Tucson would be apropos for Omnibus. You Crack me up. Now I got to buy that soap.

Ears up eyes on it. Good find. Bouki & Nero - a Fougere to add to the inventories?

Stupid good. Hard as a milled soap, so a little difficult to load from the tub, but worth every swirl. Called on the SS Blackbird and I'm smooth and silky.

Ahhh. Yes. Used it yesterday for ThuROSEday.

I laid a layer of hot water on her top loosen her up for the load. That didn't sound good

I’ve spoken highly of this one before, TheHunter splashed that buttercream topping, you won’t #SMH on this one.  I’m going to personally Champion securing that splash to make the kit whole, I’ll keep an update.  If Barrister_N_Mann decides to Omnibus the Baudelaire at WCS, that will be a must have too

Great point made; those Tucson Ladies have a more exotic International flair about them, lol. It’s been a minute since I’ve been to a proper stag celebration!

When you crack the Spanish Fern container for the first whiff, you quickly close it, eyes light up, you open again to sniff and say “wow, what sorta voodoo is going on here?” Instant smile because you know not only that you did good, you know this is a keeper and won’t be passed forward to the Lads.  Keep in mind this is a BOLD sexy scent, I don’t deal in lite and airy.  I have one unscented soap in Icarus base, that is all

Easily ranked up there with the Legendary B&M Fougere Imperiale and Aromatique. Love this soap and the performance is tops. Glad it worked out for you, my friend!
