For me T+S and Tierra Húmeda much better scent than Mikes,

Agree, the T+S and Humeda have something else that polishes up the Vetiver so it's less earthy, but the lather quality and slickness are pretty well equal across these high performers.

You are so right! This is a spot on description. It's a great scent!

Mike's Vetiver is straight stink. It is a very earthy danky smelling vetiver. I always had interesting reactions with vetiver's. First one being LPL Vetiver Bourbon which was something I just didn't understand. It took me a while to come around to trying it. But it did grow on me. The you have scents like Jabonman Tierra Humeda and L&L Marshlands. I am a fan of vetiver but it is note close to being my favorite note.

Does anyone feel like there are better complimenting notes besides citrus when it comes to vetiver?

Can you say how these two differ from one another? I've only smelled Marshlands, and the soap's name seems spot on to me. I love that green, marshy scent. I've never tried Mike's Vetiver, and I wonder which I might prefer.



Mike's Vetiver smells very similar to L&L Marshlands, although the L&at be a little more complex, if you like one you should like the other scentwise.
