I'm confused. I feel like i'm getting oscillating waves of sweet floral then urine. it's very strong. I kind of like the sweet floral part...but not enough to overcome the urine. Really, the smell of urine is hard to overcome.

You're not the only one. This was my experience as well. It would seem we're not among the "chosen few" who can wear The Veg.

I had the same problem, my French is terrible, and I actually emailed the company to find out. My email went something like this: "Is it pronounced Pin-wad, or Pin-ode?", and got an email back saying "it's pronounced 'Pee-no', like in Pinocchio".

Lilac Vegetal: This one is like a urinal cake with urine on it.

Love the descriptions of the scents! I can never look at a urine cake the same again.

I've changed my opinion a bit It's an apt (and humorous) description of the smell right out of the bottle (or actually while still in the bottle) but once applied it's more like smelling a flower. Urine cakes don't actually smell like urine either...it's just an unfortunate association in our mind regarding the scent

I later thought that it was OK to use Lilac Veg but felt that it should be applied in moderation. Now I think you should just splash it on just like any other scent. In a few minuets the initial smell dies down to a reasonable smell. I know use it every now and then.
