Fougère Gothique Shaving Soap
An eerily smooth, smoky fougère with a distinctly “ashy” character and the dark cast of some ancient atrocity. Timelessly elegant and refined, Fougère Gothique is a fragrance for someone accustomed to the fruits of all-encompassing power. This rich, elemental scent features notes of black ashes, bergamot, lavender, cedar, sandalwood, geranium, leather, tuberose, burning wood, mushroom, oakmoss, tonka bean, vetiver, musk, and balsam fir absolute.
Net wt. 4 oz, Made in the USA
Directions for Use
Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

First, the Omnibus base is top tier and consistent across scents. It’s thirsty (accepting a lot of water) builds with ease, is slick with great cushion, and leaves your face feeling pampered post-shave.
Second, the Fougère Gothique scent is nothing short of a masterpiece. From cracking the tin, to allowing the notes to bloom while lathering, shaving, and taking in resonant aromatics hours later; this composition provides an olfactory odyssey.
I arrived in search of fruits and florals. I departed (overjoyed) with something I’d not previously encountered or imagined. This is a wonderful example of what the artisan environment is all about. I’m here for it.
Great lather, very protective, as with other B-M shaving soaps I have tried. But it’s the scent that’s out of this world. Love this one!
Excellent product all the way around. Such a very unique scent.
I was expecting a much stronger scent. My order arrived today and this was the first one out of the bag, so to speak. The shave was, as always with Barrister and Mann, superbly smooth and close. I have sensitive skin, so that is no easy feat. This scent reminded me a little of Muir(e) Woods when I first smelled it, but it mellows out and is quite pleasant to use. I'm not sure how to describe the scent, but I definitely found myself enjoying it. I expected something stronger, like Ubrique, but I am really enjoying this one.
