Martin de Candre Fougère Shaving Soap 200g

The Fougère represents classical protocol—the barbershop discipline refined to its essentials. This French artisan shaving soap channels a dozen essential oils into the archetypal fresh fragrance that has defined the art since its inception.

Fragrance Profile

Built upon the established architecture of the fougère family. Top notes of lavandin, thyme, and bergamot establish brightness and clarity. Heart notes unfold with the floral complexity of geranium balanced by the earthiness of patchouli. Base notes settle into oak mosses and amber, providing warmth and longevity without heaviness. The result is a powerful, clean aroma that evokes mastery and tradition—the scent of a master barber's station refined and elevated.

Performance & Vegetable Oil Base

Formulated from 100% vegetable oils (coconut and olive) through traditional saponification, this soap yields a dense, creamy lather of exceptional quality. Minimal brush loading produces copious, stable lather with outstanding glide and cushion. The formula provides superior control and comfort throughout the shave, meeting the performance standards demanded by serious operators.

Technical Specifications

200g ceramic bowl with screw-top lid. A single pot delivers 12+ months of daily shaving. The fragrance composition employs a dozen essential oils in harmonious balance, delivering the fresh barbershop character without synthetic augmentation. Made in France using traditional methods.
