    I love the scent of Vetyver...and
    What everyone is saying about the Rose is intriguing...
    So...
    Both are on their way.

    I just had my fourth shave with the Vetyver, and from the first opening of the jar, a fresh pour, the air and moisture has really mellowed the fragrance for me and seemed to blend it all together to really present a well balanced and truly stunning scent.

    That first "hit" of the smoke has really backed off and entwined itself more with the soap, really suitable winter scent. Tonight it reminded me of that breath of air you get in the winter, with that nitrogen smell from trees, that slightly subtle smokey taste in the air.

    Compared to the Original, Fougere and Rose, which are all fantastic soaps to use, but on the lighter side if I can use that expression, the Vetyver is on the other side of the block - deep, robust, wintry, and for me, a definite keeper.

    Can only hope they don't discontinue these and leave them as a Limited Edition, the Rose and Vetyver are soaps I'd order again without a doubt.

    I inherited an old driperator coffeemaker and used it on a Coleman stove a while back, not knowing how to use it properly.
    They said it was like bong water! Finally figured it out!

    Nah, not me, 40 years ago I was a 'zig zag' man, but was done with it for good by the time all that high falutin stuff came along.
