Hi @rhodes96 I am no perfumer but do not think it is a fougere scent, not an overpowering pine scent either more a mossy pine smell as the description says

A blend of Scots Pine, Fir Needle, Texas Cedarwood, and Lichen Essential Oils. This isn’t your typical “woodsy” smell found in shaving and cologne products. This is you taking a stroll through the forest when out of nowhere two trees jump out and pin you to the ground while a third three sits on top of you and beats the stuffing out of you. Then, once he’s done, he jams some moss up your nose. Caution: May cause excessive Manliness. (Essential Oil)

I can attest to the description above. In fact, the original description uses "sawdust" rather than "moss", which for me is more accurate. I think Stirling made the change as this was offputting to some.
It is a bridge too far for me. My sweetspot for this type of scent is Stirling's Ozark Mountain.

If I had 136+ tubs of soap kicking around, I would probably (ie definitely) have to delete my shopping list for the rest of my life.

Trust me, I’ve been deleting my shopping list many times, I keep writing a new shopping list. Why? I’ve been inside the rabbit hole for too long and still haven’t seen any sunshine.

As a matter of interest, Speedy, how many of those soaps could you not bear to live without?

I won't ask how many you'll replace when they're finished, as I can't imagine you'll ever finish a tub of soap. Unless you are very, very young... :p

Nah. I’m just nearly an old fart and very close on top of the mountain with too many soaps in my den, I’m about to head on my way down the mountain soon before I even reach towards my mid or early 80’s.

Every day you don’t use that Charcoal Goods razor I’m reminded how much you don’t deserve it ...

Hahaha :p It's recently been waxed to help keep the antique brass look and I plan on using it this week after some highly impressive shaves with the Smart Helix Apollo. (y)
