For those of you who are fans of MdC, they just released a new scent based on what their Fougere bath bar smells like. If you've ever bought MdC, you've received a small bar of this soap and probably remember that smell. It's a limited series, so if you're interested, take a look. They say they'll make another run in about 5 weeks and if it's popular, it might become permanent.
I placed an order first thing this morning and as of noon EST it looks like they still have it in stock.
I love MdC soaps but the fougere I found way too strong in the scent department. You can smell it rooms away.
True that. The first bar of it we got I put in our downstairs bathroom but you could smell it that first week as soon as you walked in the house. I like the smell though. It covers up the otherwise distracting aromas in my house of "teenage boy covered in Axe" and "wet gundog rolling in deer poop". Trust me, the fougere is an improvement.Quote:

MdC is gradually becoming the best brand in wet shaving IMveryHO.
I dig their normal scented soap version and got it in the wooden bowl two months ago. I can't justify the coin on the fougere, but had I not got a new bowl from them earlier this year, I would have jumped at this.
They are a great brand and their shaving soaps are second to none. Do I really need to finish by saying I'm a big MdC fan? :D
It might not match the bath bar as some thought. Someone from a few other forums has stated that there is some citrus notes to it and it doesn't smell exactly like the bath soap.
where on the site is this? I really enjoyed that scent. I fear i may have missed the boat on it :(

I have been using the new scent all week. What a great soap. Really nice. I do like their regular scented version too.
I just got my order of this soap this week and I have used it 3 times so far. No question it is a great soap. Easy to lather, lots of lather, lots of slip and cushioning. You really ought to get some. A word of caution though. You will have to like the scent. Fougere is not subtle like De Candre's other soap. Also, it comes in a 200 gram glass tub and given how little you will have to use each time you shave, it will last a very long time, I'm sure. So it's likely worth the cost.
Went to check it out........Fougere SOLD OUT
it sold out in like two days
Which is a good thing because it will encourage them to make more! This is the second time it's sold out in the last few months, btw.
I bought a pot of the Fougère as my introduction to MdC, and I like it—for both the lather and the scent.
I've only used it a couple of times so far, and while it is undoubtedly a great soap, I'm not sure I would rate it quite so far above other soaps as many people here do. It might grow on me some more with further use though.
I also bought 15ml of their Vétyver EDT, which I think smells great and is also good value.
just got my fougere today....nice stuff.i like it better than the regular scented eventhough they are similar in scent...they are different enough for me to like it better.
Another new Fougere arrival. Love the original scent and the Fougere smells to be a winner as well. This lot is taking MdC longer to sell out than previously. Any thoughts as to if demand is down or batch size is up?
another great day.....starting it off with MdC fougere for a head-shave. really nice soap....just remember to use a pretty dry brush....a lot less water than mikes or mwf.
this soap is easier to add water little by little. with Mikes/mwf i can use a wet brush and not worry about it.
