Sage brush by Spencer and Devon is a fougere-style - a bit heavy on the sage notes - cream. Saponifico Varesino Felce Aromatica is a very nice rich fougere soap.

Just ordered the Fougere Imperiale from Barrister & Mann. I tried a small sample first, and found the scent to be a mild (in scent, not in strength) version of QCS Fougere. Think it may have the additional courmain I have been looking for. B&M makes a very nice lathering soap, and I am looking forward to trying it from the full tub vice just a small sample.

Phoenix has introduced their line of Fougere shaving soap, "Deja Fougere", one skilled artisan's reportedly successful reconstruction of Houbigant Fougere Royale from 133 years ago. I will probably buy this.
