What soap/cream did you use today?

LJDJ Barberia

Classic barbershop: Fragrance from the Aromatic Fougère olfactory family inspired by the classic perfume Drakkar Noir.....

Top: Bergamot, lemon, lavender, mint, rosemary
Mid: Cinnamon, jasmine and coriander.
Base: Leather, oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, spruce

I have been fortunate enough to load up over the years in this base. There were a few I was missing either through availability or in attentiveness. I found Jose's contact info on Instagram and emailed him. He responded immediately and provided a soap catalog in pdf format. I filled in my holes, picked up some newbies as well. His base gets tweaked a bit per version, but most of the time - tallow, shea, lanolin, kokum, jojoba, and kaolin are in the pux.

Really really slick and low profile okra snot. Love the stuff. He has some really solid homage efforts with the Fig [Dyptique Phyllosikos] and Rose Oud Altamira [Dyptique Palaos] as standouts.

Several of the big boys have solid inventories.

Frank, that’s wonderful news! Thanks for turning your talents to making a fougère. Sign me up for a 7.5 oz tub, too.

Nero, glad you survived! Can you open any of the doors?
