Martin de Candre Fougère Shaving Soap 50g

The Fougère represents classical protocol distilled to its essentials—the barbershop discipline refined to an asset suitable for travel and field deployment. This 50g format channels the archetypal fresh fragrance through twelve essential oils in perfect balance.

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 into a sophisticated, wearable fragrance.

Performance & Vegetable Oil Base

Formulated from 100% vegetable oils (coconut and olive) through traditional saponification, this soap yields a dense, creamy lather with exceptional cushion and slickness. The compact 50g format suits fieldwork and travel whilst maintaining full performance equivalence with the standard version. Minimal brush loading produces copious, stable lather that provides superior control and comfort throughout the shave.
