    Default comments i have received while wearing lilac vegetal.

    i've started wearing lilac vegetal more recently these last few days.. in the past i have had people tell me i smell lovely, like a salon, like a dry salad, and now the most out there comment ever.. play-doh!

    yup.. a lady has said i smell like play-doh..

    i'm not really sure how i feel about lilac vegetal.. it's a nice sweet smell.. but certainly not very masculine..

    what kind of comments have you guys received?

    I never wear after shave but based on the reactions I get from women when I wear a bowtie I suggest you be very wary of anything that gets reactions.

    Try applying a light scent of baby powder and remaining faithful to the wife . . . takes rigid discipline. I won't wear that again unless I get divorced. Women have strong reactions to scent.

    Default Lilac Vegetable

    Hello, Victor:

    My dearly beloved and two daughters said Lilac Vegetable smelled like the stuff used in public toilets. So I bid adios to it.

    Regards,

    Obie

    I use it occasionally. I've never had anyone comment. The first time I tried it I was reminded of rotting vegetation but after a minute or so I began to enjoy the scent. Not for everybody though.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I was really on the fence about the scent when I sampled some at Rasage Poulin last year. It does have somewhat of a feminine scent, I suppose. However, my wife took one whiff and declared that she is allergic to it (she is allergic to lilacs, I assume there is real lilac in the formula too), so that pretty much settled it for me.

    My wife and daughter asked if I had rolled in our cat's litter box.. so it is no longer a part of my rotation.

    The YMMV definitely applies to scents. I read a thread about Osage Rub and went to the local beauty supply and spent five bucks on a jug of it. I gave it to a buddy the next day and he hated it too.

    Not too many folks know this but during the riots in N.Y.C years ago the police ran out of tear gas and one enterprising officer went into a barber shop and got their supply of Lilac vegetal and started lobbing it at the rioters and within minutes the street were clear.

    Oh man, that's a good one. Probably could have really worked.

    I do not use Lilac Vegetal, but I use Bay Rum, Aqua Velva Blue and Clubman Pinaud. The wife says I smell like an old man with all 3. I like old people so I am cool with that!
