MARTIN DE CANDRE Le Cannelé

[NEPatriotsNation]

i finally gave in and decided to order the much talked about Martin De Candre. On their website i noticed they had another shave soap called "le cannele"
I was wondering if any of you have heard of this soap or have it. If so what are your thoughts on it. I went ahead and ordered the 170g and the "le cannele"also
can't wait to get my hands on them.
Here's a picture from their website of "le cannele"

Mdc is a fantastic soap. Le Cannelé is the same scented soap as the 170g jar but it comes in a different container.
The bowl is named so because the shape resembles a canelé.

lol darn. for some reason i thought that cannele ment something along the lines of cinammon thinking it was a completely different soap...thats why i went ahead and ordered it. Oh well nothing wrong with having a couple of them.

You can never have too much MdC. Enjoy your new soap.

May I ask what the shipping cost was and whether the VAT is discounted? Am getting the SSADs and beginning to eye Martin De Candres!

 

[NEPatriotsNation]

shipping was 24€ for two items.

So is the MdC "Le Beurrier" and the MdC "Le Domino" the same thing as well in different packaging?

yes. they only make SCENTED or UNSCENTED.

from what ive heard the scent is that of lavender...is that right? Is it a pleasant scent?

 

[NEPatriotsNation]

also...how does MdC compare to other high end soaps/creams..
I have Pens BB cream, Acqua Di Parma, SMN, CF and some DR Harris Soaps....out of all of them AdP is my favorite...is MdC up there with those or better? i know a lot of it comes down to preference...but i'm sure if MdC is anything like those i'll be very pleased.

Lavender and rosemary is what I smell. I think the scent is fantastic, although some others disagree with that.

 

[NEPatriotsNation]

can't go wrong with that combination. Seems like i won't have an issue with the scent.Thanks Lucas

And mint!

 

[john parker]

Ooops! Don't like mint!

 

[oakeshott]

I don't get mint, but noses are different.

My wife made soap for a few years with EO's and really got good at it. When I unwrapped the MdC (and they ship for the shavepocalypse) she was at least 8 feet away from me. I opened up the jar and about a second later she looked up from her book and said one word: Lavender.

 

[brucered]

I get lavender and rosemary...no mint to my nose either.

the ladies at work sniffed a jar and got Lavender.

 

[AABCDS]

It smells a lot like Noxzema to me.

 

[Sqratch]

I don't get the noxema smell at all. It is very pleasant and herbal to me.

 

[cpeter47]

Lavender, my wife loved it until she realized how expensive it is. Good thing I only got a sample.

In a French gentleman's bath and grooming room the shave soap was left out on a side board or tray. The soap maker simple offers these traditional soap 'holders' so the modern day gentleman can leave his soap out on display. The cool MdC jar/pot would be considered a vessel to be hidden in a drawer.
As said earlier, you can nerver have too much MdC.
