This must be my 30th-ish shave with Narcisse, so my impressions are not the freshest. I must say that I had never once considered that the name could be the flower; I always assumed it has to be the Greek mythical character. Anyways, this is one of the soaps whose scent I like most in my den, even though the base is not as easy-going as the U.S. artisans. All in all, I’m happy to have bought it, and I’m also happy that you seem to appreciate it. And sending out soap for the BVWSC is a good way to accelerate a kill, and justifying buying other soaps!
Have a good evening!

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
Today’s BVWSC used Le Père Lucien Narcisse. The scent notes of this soap are: bright jasmine, bergamot, warm tobacco, vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss. I liked it. I’m seasonal in my scents, so this one fits better in the spring for me than fall. Nonetheless, like many European soaps, the soap quality was very good, scent strength was medium, and the scent itself seemed sophisticated.
Thanks to @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social for this one!
