I'm looking for a Vetiver aftershave, no Eau de toilette(EdT). I have some Vetiver EdTs but I'm getting hard times looking for an AFTERSHAVE and want a splash kind not a balm. If you have any suggestions let me know! Many thanks!
cheers

Royall makes a vetiver aftershave, although I think it's marketed as an "all purpose lotion". As a disclaimer I will add that I've never tried it, but Royall has many followers and I'm sure someone could else could give you more info.
I have it and it's nice stuff but very strong and lasts forever on you. As a matter of fact the U.S distributor has a special going on right now 4- 8oz bottles of any of their scents for $90 including shipping. They go by Bermuda150 on Eboy.
I have a vetiver non-aerosol spray deodorant called "vetiver and Spice". It is a fantastic product that is produced by common sense (out of cambridge, new york) it is a meant to be an all natural hippy deodorant but I use it for any aftershaving needs as well; the first five main ingredients are: sd alchohol 40-2 (wood grain), witch hazel, glycerine, rosewood, vetiver. It is a major plus when traveling because it comes in a plastic spray bottle and you have your deodorant and aftershave all in one product. I highly recommend it.
I think Guerlain makes their Vetiver in AS Splash. It's a great Vetiver scent IMHO
Thanks, but Guerlain only have a ASBalm...Quote:

I'll second this. It's a nice, sharp vetiver that has great staying power.Quote:

The label says EdC but it really is closer to a splash.

And if that's not enough, drop by Westmount like a good lad at the Guerlain spa and ask them to sniff all the rare and exclusive stuff!
Thanks! I'll go next weekend. Didnt know that there is a store/spa of Guerlain in Montreal, Thank youQuote:

Vetiver has an earthy, woody aroma characteristic of most essential oils derived from roots in the earth. It also has a rich, sweetly satisfying note that is both warm and masculine.
I add essential oils to soaps, witch hazel and to after shaves that need "improving."
Hmm... earthy-think wormsQuote:

sweet, satisfying, warm, masculine think err..Rube Paul.
How many bottles do you want?
Think all of the above but also throw in a little "just after the fire in the fireplace goes out" smolder smell! Definitely a winter time sent. Some have said you either love it or hate it. I have a tub of Salter's Vetivier SC soon to be replaced.Quote:

yes, garbage, i.e. rotting organic matter. could be nice though, just like parmeggiano smells like dirty socks, but it's still good :)Quote:
