- Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
- Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdT
ZM Mousse Illuminee is an interesting take on the fougere. The artisan scent notes are:
> Treemoss, Frankincense, Green Cypress, Artemisia, Laurel Leaves, Cedar, White Floral Notes, White Musk.
I definitely picked up on the frankincense and a slight muskiness, with a hint of sweetness on top. A very interesting scent, but not one that I think I'd reach for often if I had a full tub.
Thanks u/LarskiTheSage for the smush! I'm glad I got the opportunity to try this one, as I've been curious about it for a while now. :)

- Lather: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
- Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – Fake Yellow Light
Dropped the ball on this one. These are steps one and two of the Best Leather Progression Ever™ and the cherry on top, Gratiot League Square is sorely missing. I simply forgot and only remembered once I was already on the train. C’est la vie.

Varen + Floïd <3
Have a good day!
Varen is so good!
Unfortunately the soap and splash both gave me frag burn so I moved them along. Held on to the EdT though. It’s a great fougere.
