This is not much of a review instead more of a quick PSA if you will, just in case you were curious about the pre-release of B&M's Fougére Gothique. As we all know the performance of B&M soaps is absolutely excellent you won't find a soap from them that is not a great performer, at least in my experience. You will mostly hear people say "the scent was not for me." In this case the scent is extremely reminiscent of their Diamond soap without the caramel corn sweetness part and a musky finish at the end. I noticed the scent is quite pronounced out of the container at first but nothing too overwhelming, as you begin to lather the scent seems to pick up by a notch or two and then comes the rinse off and OMG the scent profile absolutely explodes. It's as if you can smell every individual scent that makes up the soap and then the muskiness just sneaks up in the back out of nowhere and fills you're whole restroom. I am a fan of diamond it's a silly scent and I just love it, but.... I'm not a fan of musk and this one is just a bit too much for me, so I think I might end up passing on this one unless I grow to love it from here to the pre-order day.
On a side note: my 4yr old and wife were not fans of this scent.
