    **No More Samples. Check the Classifieds for a big old chunk.**

    Hey guys, I got some extra of this Valobra Fougere soft soap, and I thought I'd put some up here for general perusal.

    I can cut chunks off, about 8-10 grams each, and send them to you for $3 each. PM me if you'd like any.

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Jim. What scent is that? I know they have a menthol and Almond, I have the latter.

    Ahhh, yeah, sorry, I forgot that the discussion was only on SMF.

    Fougere is "fern"; the scent is kind of a light, sweet herbal scent. It's very nice; the soap is over all "Valobra", the fougere is very subtle.

    It's only available from 1001seife.de, the place that sells the "Tabula Rasa" cream. I ordered some becuase, well, I like the idea of getting unusual things.

    The soap itself, if you've never tried Valobra, is soft and moldable, and it whips up a very rich, thick creamy lather with great skin care.

    Erasmic and Wars are two examples of the fougere scent, Chris.

    Really. I like my Erasmic. Thanks for the information.

    No problem. Apparently some of the Penhaligon's Fern-type scents are also fougere (makes sense), but they're out of my $$ range. I posted a question in the Pre/After subforum asking for A/S recommendations for the fougere scent. Didn't get much of a response, except the Penhaigon's...

    Do you have or use an A/S that compliments or smells similar to your Erasmic?

    I've only tried my Erasmic a few times so far, I just recently got it. The scent is unique and I have tried Witch Hazel and TSD Peppercorn A/S splash. The Peppercorn works well, but I'm sure there must be a scent that compliments it better.

    What have you found to work well?

    So far the only thing I have that compliments it is TSD AS Milk in 4711. It's not a match, but it goes OK with it. I don't have anything else that would even smell remotely similar.


    I believe JoAnna mentioned that she has a fougere scent request in, which I'm assuming she means to her scent supplier. I hope I didn't misunderstand her, because that would be awesome. :D

    I'll keep that in mind. I wonder about the Penhalligon's English Fern?

    Yes, the English Fern. I just checked back on the thread and D.R. Harris Arlington was also mentioned.

    Here's a link...

    You're partially correct, Matt.

    I do have some folks asking for a fougere scent, but I'm gonna blend it myself, not ask a supplier for it.

    Even better! Don't worry though, I won't hound you like they have about the TSD Red. :D

    Is it ready yet?

    I keeed, I keeed.....

    No, really, is it ready?
