I received a mail today from Le Père Lucien (4 shaving soaps and an after-shave; I will not be able to kill 4 soaps this year, I’m afraid…), and I also got a smush of his Traditionnel soap. So why not start with this one? First impressions: It provides a good and protective lather, but the smell reminded me disturbingly of a Bouquet Garni that I would put into soup.
Official scent notes: Lavender, eucalyptus, thyme, rosmary
Meißner Tremonia - Strong’n’Scottish is the offender. They were probably going for the smoky, earthy notes of good Scotch - but to me, it only resembles the smell of smoked “Knackwurst” 😥
If Cuero Oscuro is chosen for March, I could include a sample of it in your letter - in case you actually want to try that and not just look to avoid that soap 😂

~Now that I see it, I should have listened to Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel while shaving.~
Excellent shave with the 1912.
Have a good evening!

That sounds like the gourmand nobody asked for 😅
Whiskey-labeled soaps who end up smelling like smoked sausages are on the same page 😓
Public service question: which one is/are these?

Thanks 👍

That is very kind of you – let me think about it. Ideally, I’d have a sausage-sauerkraut flavored soap 😜
Ooh, which one’s that?
A Meißner Tremonia soap that tried to go for Scotch whisky. Please refer to the reply I gave @PorkButtsNTaters666 ✌🏻
Oh, I see, thanks!
