June 22nd, 2025: It Takes Two
Daily Theme Justification: I will defer to C Bubs himself on his thoughts about Glace Herbe being a two note soap, which includes Haitian Vetiver and menthol.
Daily Theme: Originally I was going to use Fanzine Saponifications Bubblegum and Rose. However, it feels like a million degrees in the midwest and I had just got done with yard work. As soon as I got done shaving, I saw u/TheStallionPartThree tag me for the rap battle and I will address that momentarily. Glace Herbe cooled me down and gave me that nice earthy, grassy, and nutty smell of Haitian Vetiver. I really enjoyed this soap that I got from u/BrokenJaw622, now I need to find a set of it. V splash and frag to follow up to follow the Vetiver train. You have that nice Vetiver base with V with a lot of top end complexity that really captivates me. It is probably my favorite fragrance to date.
Daily Challenge: u/TheStallionPartThree mentioned me earlier and this'll be challenge entry and reply for a call out.
The man with a plan who cooks for Fanzine
He's down with the brown which we call Ween
Could've lathered up some bubblegum and Rose
Instead Glace Herbe left me all froze
The Stallion whips up the Candi
His releases are sure to be dandy
Whether its Part one, two, or three
He made sure the Roses are Free!
