Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

This could be the last hot weekend here in Montreal so I wanted to go all out with the menthol. The Glacial Lemon Chill is one of the nicest scents I’ve ever experienced - the soap’s tallow formula gives the lather such richness as well as super slickness, the menthol sensation pummelled my face non stop, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm and aftershave splash kept the chill going so nicely, and the Eau Sauvage eau de toilette is also lemony scented in a lovely way. Three passes left me mega BBS - this was such a delightful shave that I enjoyed from start to finish!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

Truthfully and honestly Fernando is not only a wonderful friend of mine and one of the nicest guys you can ever deal with, his soaps and aftershaves are absolutely MAGNIFICENT. His Frosted Lavender is the most BEAUTIFUL lavender scent I ever had - the soap’s tallow formula gives the lather such thickness, richness, and slickness, the menthol sensation is off the charts just like a Stirling Glacial soap, and the skincare is perfect. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel is lightly scented and very soothing as well as comfortable, the Prep balm is another treasure from South Africa, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is also witch hazel based, it’s so frigid, there’s no burning sensation, and the scent is exactly the same as the soap’s, and it seems to somehow pair well with the Obsession for Men. Three passes cleaned me up fantastically and gave me a brilliant BBS shave but this Wilkinson Sword blade is getting tired.

Have a good week - be well and safe!
