"Baudelaire, of course, is a fougere with Mousse de Saxe. Several times I've paired Lavanille soap with Baudelaire splash, figuring that they have Mousse de Saxe in common. But a funny thing happens: when I apply the splash, all I smell is fougere. I figure that over the course of the shave, my nose gets desensitized to MdS, so all it smells from the splash is what's left, the basic elements of a fougere. 🧵

So I figured I'd test the theory and see if it worked the other way around: I used Varen soap, with its delightfully piquant fougere scent, and followed it with Baudelaire splash. And lo and behold, no fougere, all MdS. QED. *
