Thread: Martin de Candre scents

Hello, gents!

Is anyone acquainted with Martin de Cadre scents based on the name of the soap? Cos on the website they don't give details and since they're among the priciest soaps I've come across, I was hoping someone could give me some insight as to what name stands for which scent.

Thanks

Hello, Pete,
Martin de Candre soap comes in one scent, a blend of mint and French lavender. French lavender is a bit more earthy than its English counterpart, which is more flowery. The scent has a few other notes in it, too. Some gentlemen don't like the fragrance, but many seem to. I love it. As for their aftershave and vetiver scents, I can't comment on them, because I have not tried them. The soap, by the way, is superb.
Stay well.

Thank you, Obie!

I know French Lavender, it's a more medicinal scent, but fresh and manly. I just didn't know Martin de Cande used it.

I didn't know they had AS. On the web site under men's products there are no AS products listed. I saw the blue bottle of lotion of some kind but assumed it was for the gals.

No, from what I know, their aftershave/vetiver is for men. Unless I have my sexes mixed up, in which case, brother, I am in real trouble. Stay well.

They have a vetiver scent???
OBIE!!!!!! Damm damm damm!

I use Nanny's Silly Soap Company products. I've tested a lot of soaps, some cheap, some expensive, but always return to them. Her Vetiver is awesome! Provided you take the learning curve to lather it properly. Folks were telling me Martin de Candre is the only real competitor on the European market for Nanny, hence my question, because I definitely want to try one. A bit pricey, though...

Whiskeypete, my dear friend, Martin de Candre is an exquisite soap. Yes, by all means, try it.

Obie,
of course you know after Paul and Spendurs comments this is probably the start of another new thread...lol (I hate Obie ring any bells...)

Hello, Joe,
Yes, in all likelihood we can foresee another thread. I think it's the allure of Martin de Candre. I think I will start that new thread in Aftershaves and Colognes. Thanks for the suggestion.
