Hello, LeftStanding:

Martin de Candre is sold nowhere else except where it is produced in Paris. That's what I understand, anyway.

That is a huge bummer. I checked on the site, hoping that shipping to my German address vs. my APO Box would be cheaper... no such luck.

I'll tell you guys something. My wife had ordered a bunch of stuff from them. The order came within 4 days and happily she got a wood box they sell which is neat and has room to stash many of the soaps I have however the order which was around 10 lbs mostly bar soaps and some soaps in heavy glass bottles. I paid...gulp...you all sitting down for this? I paid...err...smelling salt time...$109.00 shipping. Yes you read that right. Unfortunately I didn't see it until days after she ordered the stuff. Of course we now have about 3 years supply of soap however...

Yes I think a group buy is a great idea. Even better if we could split it up in modest samples...that would really cut the price down to an justifed price.

Oh, dear, dear, a $109 shipping tab is enough to pay off the national debt — well, almost. Then again, my good man, the dearly beloved is worth it. Besides, when she becomes enamored with Martin de Candre soaps, you will have no problem ordering the shave soap when you run out of your current stash. Now, that is sound reason, what?

Stay well,

Obie

They sent me a bunch of samples with the order. A bunch of large sized soaps and bottles of shampoo. I wonder how much that added to the shipping-har har.

My dear thebigspendur:

That is a good point. They sent me a sample of their soap and shampoo. The soap, which I use as a face wash, is incredible. I've never looked so Hollywood. The shampoo is superb, too, although I float around the world like a '39 Cadillac with the top down.

These people are artists of the highest order with what they've created. I don't know what they do to Martin de Candre, but this stuff is magical. Oh, dear, now I can't wait till tomorrow morning comes so that I can lather up again with Martin de Candre.

Only if these characters knew how much publicity we're giving them . . .

Obie

Gentlemen,

I just received my jar of Martin De Candre from a group buy arranged by an SRP member. The fragrance, as thebigspendur noted, is oh sooo delightful.

Even as a group buy, it wasn't cheap. Still, I think it was worth every penny. Can't wait to try it!
