I LOVE Cyril Salters French Vetiver. If you know that one then my explanation of Esbjerg Orange Vetiver will make sense.  Esbjerg vetiver is not so dirty as salters but neither is it scrubbed clean like Fines Fresh Vetiver.  It has an Orange top note that rings out loud at the removal of the tub lid but start to lather it up and smoky, dirty, rooty Vetiver comes forward.  This is NOT a pedestrian scent.  If you aren’t fan of vetiver, I mean really a fan, I would give this one a hard pass.  It’s a Vetiver junkies fix.  And the scent stays with me all day.

I also LOVE the Salters French Vetiver, there's a smokiness too it that I find very appealing.  I haven't found anything else like it.  Is the Esbjerg still available?

I got it from Bullgoose.  Don't know if he carries it still but it appears it's still being made.

I am a fan of vetiver, but for me Guerlain for instance quickly becomes cloying, as do many vetiver colognes/AS's. I will order the Cyril Salter cream later on this Summer/Fall when the new P&B Right Handed Giant becomes available. As for now, Shannon's Soaps Haymarket Vetiver and the discod. Dirtyver as my best vetiver soaps.

Cold River Soapworks is re-introducing a vetiver soap in their Select line according to an email notice I received today:
"Vetiver Fresco 2.0 is back!
Vetiver oil blended with hydrosols and other essential oils including sage, Spanish rosemary and cedar wood bring notes of fragrant green herb's with a heart of wood. Fresh, clean, lively, green and complex!
(Essential Oils & Hydrosols)"

I don't have any experience with either this soap or the Select line.  I do have several of their Glide soaps which I like.

I also noticed that Wet Shaving Products has a limited edition Rustic (vegan) vetiver soap. Again, I use Formula T (tallow) which I really like. I don't have experience with their Rustic line.

I was on the "hook" until I read a review on his webpage that said it smelled just like Fine Classic Green Vetiver. I took my finger off the "trigger".  Undecided

Try Black Velvet. If you don't like, send it back.

I'm confident too. But, we give a no risk shot at it.
