Does anyone make a vetiver aftershave? I would like one that complements QED's Vetiver shaving soap.
Vetiver?

I know that Royall makes an all purpose lotion in Vetiver. I have never tried the QED Vetiver soap so cannot comment on whether or not it would compliment the soap.

Do you know if anyone sells Royall?
I think you can get it on the Bay. There was a group buy at B & B a couple months ago which is where I bought my Royall. However I have seen it on the Bay for as little as $18 for an 8 OZ bottle including shipping. If you are uncomfortable with the Bay, do a Google search and several stores should pop up.
I believe Saint Charles Shave has a vetiver aftershave. You might even be able to get a sample of it.
You can still find Guerlain Vetiver in AS splash, though it's harder to find than the cologne.
L'Erbolario Lodi also makes a vetiver balm:

I'm partial to Vetiver Puig cut with witch hazel.

Your best bet is probably Guerlain with the caveat that it does have a prominent tobacco note. If you can't find it in a shop, it's available on the web.

The best vetiver scent ever made IMO is Eau de Vetyver by Givenchy, if you can find it.
If you want something a little lighter (and no tobacco note), there's Frederic Malle's Vetyver Extraordinaire.

Duplicate post, soory.

I see that you're in the greater Charlotte area, correct? If so, you might want to check out J&R Cigars on I-85 in Burlington if you get up that way. They carry the full line of Royall products, as well as Tabac and a fairly comprehensive array of department store brands, all at rather good prices.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will check them out the next time I go near there.
You might also try Brooks Brothers in one of the malls in Charlotte, mine in Raleigh has it.

JR definitely has Royall. Also, the Whole Foods near my house occasionally has it.
Do you have Beauty World over there? I was in one of the ones in Durham this week picking up some Pinaud stuff and I saw a couple of vetiver "waters" (for lack of a better term) in the hoodoo section. It was on the same shelf as Florida Water, bay rum, etc. I opened one of them and smelled it, but I'm not exactly sure what it smelled like. Next time I'm there I'll check more closely. For a couple of bucks, it might be interesting to have.
Oddly enough, I was thinking about this today. I was wishing that L'Occitane would make a vetyver aftershave to complement their cologne. I have also seen the Royall line in Brooks Brothers, as well as occassionally in TJ Maxx or Marshall's.
Isn't the Musgo Real classic scent Vetyver and Patchouli based? Try the Classic Aftershave by Musgo Real.
The balm Fragonard Vetyver is very good :
I'm assuming that you're looking for a splash-type product. However, if a balm is acceptable, Charles's own "After Shave Skin Conditioner" is available in vetiver EO.
