Thread: Dirt

I've seen it a couple of times now, a scent described as reflecting moist or wet "dirt". I wonder why they don't have the semantic intelligence to use "earth" instead. It makes a huge difference.

Are you talking about PAA's Dirt shave soap? If you are I have the shave soap and the AS that is to go with it is called "FU" smells nothing like the shave soap but is decent. The shave soap really does smell like wet "earth" not the most appealing shave soap but I bought it expecting a little more of a fern scent
Personally so far I like PAA's aftershave "N" best so far...

No, just some products give an online scent description that includes the use of the word dirt to describe the smell.

Good point. Earth would be a more accurate description to use certainly a more appealing one.

Or even soil.
I tried to find an example, but I browsed dozens of scents yesterday on several sites and I can't find it now.
It's not a big deal, it just seemed silly to use dirt to describe a scent.

Makes it sound more masculine!
