Sad
The package started moving on Friday night. Never mind, we all have dozens of soaps to use. I was just expecting to have them until tommorow evening. Now I have to wait till the end of the week.


Don't forget to post a few photos for us! I have no idea what the labels and the soap itself look like. I guess we both ordered it due to our previous Pannacrema experience.

Unfortunately, I have already shaved, this morning, Marco. Another 20 hours to wait. Sad

David, just saw the photo.

About the scent, please don't tell me that it's close to Cyril R. Salter Vetiver scent. That would kill me. Is it close to any other Vetiver soap/ cream you have tried?

When I read about complex scents, I really don't feel very well.

Nick, I haven't tried the Cyril R. Salter Vetiver so can't compare to that one. I haven't tried any other vetiver scent like this, so it's pleasing to my nose. I'm picking up citrus(lemony), green notes and ginger, but it goes deeper than that. There are so many takes on vetiver out there, you really need to use and judge for yourself.


Here's another couple of pic for you, Nick.

I am very much looking forward to trying something new. I've used the Nuàvia (blue and red), but I'm very much a tallow soap lover.

I am definitely interested in Marco's take on vetiver and will be picking up a tub once settled at the new address.

Exciting times!

Nick, I don't think any other soap can come close to Cyril R. Salter's French Vetiver scent - its a one off and I for one happen to really like it but totally understand that many don't.
