The scent of this Mystic Water vetiver & oakmoss soap is excellent and I can smell it through the unscented aftershave. I'm considering getting a vetiver aftershave such as Stirling Port au Prince or Mickey Lee Reunion. Does anyone have experience with either of these?

I haven’t used the Port-au-Prince aftershave, but I can tell you that the soap has a very strong and earthy vetiver scent that is intriguing and staggering, all at the same time. It reminds me of descending into a root cellar that has some citrus fruits stashed away in it.

I’ve used Mystic Water’s Vetiver & Oakmoss a few times, and that scent is a little more “refined” and toned down than Stirling’s. However, if you really want a strong vetiver, along with a little bit of freshness from the lemongrass in it, Stirling would be your ticket.

I’d also be interested in reading impressions of Réunion.

I like Fine Green Vetiver. It also has a lemony top note and a bit of sweetness to go along with the smoky, earthy vetiver scent.

Port-Au-Prince is in stock so I will be ordering a sample aftershave along with 3 other samples.

I tried all 3 Fine vetivers and did not like them too much. I think it was mostly because the scent was too powerful - long lasting powerful. Maybe I'll try them again.

Yeah they are pretty strongly scented. Have you tried Chatillon Lux La Quatriemme Ville?

You beat me to it Jeff, I was just coming here to recommend Chatillon Lux La Quatrieme Ville aftershave or toner - very nice vetiver scent. Lasts all day.

I have the Port au Prince balm and think it’s very nice. Has a good deep vetiver base but you definitely get the lemongrass/citrus kick. I really enjoy pairing it with the Grooming Dept vetiver nobile soap.

I really like WSP Black Vetiver and they even have it in cologne.

Can Chatillon Lux La Quatrieme Ville be found anywhere or perhaps hawns has found extra stock?
