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 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.

Marko, unfortunately, it smells like an ashtray to me, that's why I asked David if he finds it to be close to this. It would be a big disappointment.

Looks like it’s a love or hate thing with Vetiver. Definitely not for the rookie, much like the first time you try caviar! You might love it someday or hate it forever Smile

If you don't like it, try to "acquire" this scent in small steps. It happens with complex things at first, I've experienced this many times with different things, for example Miles Davis's "Kind of blue"!

Wow! Very interesting! Comparing Kind of Blue to the scent of Vetiver. Big Grin

I'll be able to give you the answer to that in 12 hours, Andrew. I had already shaved when the soap arrived.
