Great product
Great lather and nice new scent!

New favorite Chypres scent
Le Grand Chypre is bright off of the tub with a citrus and floral blend that is lightly sweet and extremely pleasant to my nose. There are so many different notes that swirl together from whiffs off the tub, but when lathering begins, these begin to break down into an herbal melange. The remaining scent is a subtle blend of spice, resinous powder, and citrus. This end note is accentuated and extended by use of the aftershave, with plenty of longevity to last. What I find most interesting is that Le Grande Chypre is spicy, but in a “summery” way. Spice is usually accompanied by heavy, dark notes fitting for colder months, but in this case B&M have managed to combine bright citrus and subtle spice notes with an herbal patchouli in an entirely balanced way. It’s a truly fascinating take on the Chypre-genre, and it is my favorite Chypres scent. It is an all-season soap, but definitely a spring and summer favorite for me.

Must be in den
Great scent


Fantastic!
I love this. It's my favorite scent from B&M, it's a pleasant woody smell slightly similar to zingari man's Collab with rogue. I have to say though this one is quite a bit better than ZM's it's less sharp and just all around wonderful and really elevates your shave. I also bought the splash I liked it so much! I definitely reccomend it!

Daily driver
Very interesting scent, the lime stands out to me in this one, but in a very subtle way. The Omnibus base is exquisite. Funny story, I had ordered LGC from Amazon, and the seller had shipped Lavonille. I mentioned it on Reddit twice. Not complaining, just disappointing. Will saw my comment and the first time asked if there was anything he could do. The second time he just DM'd me asking me for my address so he could send me the LGC, which he did. I love it. If you have not tried B&M soaps, do it now.
