Wet Shaving Database

If God had given ferns a scent, they would smell like Fougère Royale. -Paul Parquet, Houbigant Master Perfumer and Father of Modern Fragrance, 1884To many purists, the fougère is the ultimate form of men's fragrance, a family characterized by elegant soapiness, subtle mossiness, and an overall feeling of clean, fresh approachability. Many feel that the best way for a man to smell is as though he has just stepped from the shower.To hell with that.Barrister and Mann is proud to present Beaudelaire, a marriage of long-standing fougère methodology with the dusky, leathery, decadent charm of our famous re-creation of Mousse de Saxe. We blend the classic fougère accord of lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin with ylang ylang, rose, sandalwood, and the deep, richly bitter character of Mousse de Saxe to produce a fougère unlike anything else in the shaving world. Dark, soapy, and incomparably sexy, Beaudelaire is a fragrance that symbolizes elegant debauchery in all of the best ways. Were Oscar Wilde alive today, this would be his signature.
