    Default Choose MdC For Me

    I can no longer resist, I read about it wherever I go. Going to place an order today

    Just please tell me, original or fougere? Is the fougere anything like Le Pere Lucien?

    Can you describe each scent for those who've tried both? I read the fougere is a bit like LPL or Myrsol Agua Balsamica, does that hold in any way? What about the original?

    Looking forward to all your comments

    I purchased the Original Scented and the Fougere, they are both superb. But if I had to pick one, the Fougere hands down...simply superb IMO.

    Can you please try to describe what each is like to your best ability? Which is more powdery or green or spicy? I love MWF and Tabac.. LPL just recently started to grow on me

    Shaved with Fougere this morning. You use very little of the cream. After 8 shaves the bottle appears brand new.

    8 light swirls (thanks Ed Hewitt) is all you need for a great shave.

    I am not familiar with the scents you mentioned so no help here. IIRC, Fougere means "fern". I like the Fougere scent but "Czech and Speake No. 88" is more to my liking.

    The original scent is French lavender and mint and is fairly subtle. The fougere, as the name suggests, is very much fern-like and is not so subtle IMO. Both are heavenly scents but if I had to choose it would probably be the original.

    Once again Phrank and are in complete agreement. They are both wonderful but I prefer the Fougere. To me the scent, mild as it is, is very reminiscent of Chanel Pour Monsieur. Light muted scents. Not all up in your face. Lightly herbal with a hint of Meyer lemon.

    I've never been able to describe scents, but the Fougere has, to me, a more fresh outdoorsy scent and though I like both very much......my vote goes to Fougere...Fern!!

    Regards,

    I like the unscented, it has just enough of a lavender scent for me, and the performance is in a league of its own. When I want to get blasted with lavender, I reach for Mike's Hungarian Lavender, incredible stuff.
