If you haven't tried any of Chatillon Lux's products yet, you are in for a treat. I made my first foray into hawns world of fragrance and imagery inspired by his beloved city of St. Louis last January and I rapidly became a user of major proportions. His latest addition to the regular lineup is the TSM Fougere. This is a fragrance that Shawn originally custom made for The Shave Market but demand quickly made it a part of his regular lineup. If you want to read Shawn's own words about it look here http://www.chatillonlux.com/store/p52/TS...shave.html In my words I'll say its one of the most earthy, woodsy, natural smelling fougeres that I've smelled and it pairs wonderfully with the Barrister and Mann Fougeres - Imperiale/Aromatique/Beaudelaire.
If you're going to venture down this path you should be aware that Chatillon Lux offers most of his unique scents in 3 formats - aftershave, toner and salve. The aftershave is an alcohol based splash but way more conditioning and moisturizing than your average splash, the toner is like a splash with only a tiny bit of alcohol and more soothing conditioning stuff while the salve is a very nourishing concoction thats like a butter that is great in harsh wintery climates. There have been some LEs that aren't in the three formats, like Colbeck which came only in Aftershave and there was even a very limited TSM Fougere EDT which sold out super fast - the level of demand for EDT was unexpected.
hawns is a really creative guy who runs Chatillon Lux in his spare time - yup, like many of the artisans out there he has a day job and does the Chatillon Lux gig more for the love of it than anything else. He's also receptive to the idea of custom products as I learned through Project Bay. Chatillon Lux has earned a spot on my list of truly excellent shaving products.
