La Forêt de Liguest was the original fougère in the lineup, but modified from the traditional fougère structure to be dark and mysterious with rich undertones. The notes include cypress, cedarwood, coriander, oakmoss, vetiver, vanilla, benzoin, geranium, rose, tuberose, juniper, bergamot, grapefruit, musk and patchouli. This will be available through the end of 2017.
As settlers, trappers, traders and adventurers headed west from Saint Louis and Carondelet, they moved through the rolling hills surrounding the shores into the verdant forests of Missouri. Pierre Laclede Liguest was essential to creating the city that helped so many brave men, women and beast enter into the forests full of deer, black bears, vegetation, and breathtaking scenic views.
This fragrance is inspired by the scent of the first leg in that journey. It contains the smell of lush flora and fauna, along with the musky undertones of the trail. We combine this with a subtle citrus zest on a bed of vanilla and benzoin, which comes through on the dry down.
Additional news from Chatillon Lux is...
After taking a year off, we are bringing back one of our early scents, La Forêt de Liguest, on Saturday, November 4 through December 31. This modified fougère is darker and richer than TSM Fougère, with cypress and rose highlighting this distinctive scent inspired by the woods that one of the founders of Saint Louis, Pierre Laclede Liguest envisioned would one day become our fair city.
This will be available in an eau de toilette fragrance, aftershave, toner, salve, and...a soap from the next need-to-know soapmaker, Storybook Soapworks! They make an amazing product and their brand is amazing for the literary-minded among us, or even just those who just enjoy a great tale. Make sure you check out their soap not only in the La Forêt de Liguest scent, but their two new permanent additions to their lineup, including one inspired by the work of Saint Louis' T.S. Eliot.
That's right, there will be a matching soap made by Storybook Soapworks!
Les Boissons aur le Porche (a.k.a. Drinks on the Porch) aftershave... With a matching soap by Catie's Bubbles. Hopefully the two will coincide.
