    I tried the veg for the first time today. I don't smell much of anything from the bottle but going on it smells exactly like a urinal puck. I even like the smell of YSL Kouros and that is often described the same way but the opening blast of LV is pretty gross. After about five minutes it settled down to a subtle flowery scent that isn't bad but I don't think it's worth suffering through the 'my face smells like a gas station mensroom' stage for. I didn't get any of the vegetation/rotten salad notes that are also reported.

    Okay, the AS cabinet after latest order of Vitos After Shaving, Floid Vigoroso, Floid Blue and The Veg was added this week. The next image is the rotation for the next couple of weeks as I was chosen by the Veg and SWMBO enjoyed the scent

    I was at the station last night and our driver (who is a newb with bad RAD) produces a bottle of the VEG and a Lime Sec.
    In my infinite wisdom, and having never smelled the Veg, I decided to hold the bottle under my nose and "puff" it so I could get a good whiff.... I succeded in squirting a fire hose stream of Veg straight up my left nostril... clear to my sinuses... I went to the drug store and bought a bottle this morning as soon my shift ended. I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!

    You, sir, are my new hero.

    Snorting the Veg is taking things to the next level.

    We don't become firefighters because we're smart! More the other way around.
    Anyway, my wife likes it for some odd reason. but she smelled it after it had mellowed!

    I wonder if you mainline the Veg do you hallucinate that you need to use a litterbox?

    BTW, my wife hates all of my aftershaves. Every single one of them. What do you think the odds are that she'd like the Veg?

    Only one way to find out. Splash it freely all over your body, present yourself to your bride, and commence to make a scent/memory association that will have her blushing every time she passes the cat litter aisle at the store.

    I purchased a bottle of the Veg once. It was the worst decision I made. It was not kind to me. It smelled like old urine.....nasty. I dumped what was left down the toilet.

    I was laughing reading this, then Topgumby's ''snorting'' comment...I cackled. I have The Veg coming my way, I'm interested to see if it chooses me.

    What a great thread. Lilac Vegetal has inspired so many to write prose, poetry... videos. I think I will try it, I'll be careful with the bottle though.. I have only tried the Pinaud Clubman and the Bay Rum.
