Vetiver? Cedarwood and Lemon?

Two good reasons to continue breathing! That wiley old Charles at QED finally succumbed to the intense pressure. He came up with a 100% Vetiver, not for the faint of heart! To quote a friend, "The scent of primal masculinity, that has been bred out of too many males."
I wonder if the Cedarwood and Lemon is anything like the fragrance of Charles Tyrwhitt? I should know by Monday or Tuesday...

Ron, I look forward to your impressions. My son describes the Vetiver scent as smoked bacon.

Hey, Ron --

I'm right with you on the vetiver. I just placed an order with Charles for one of those. I passed on the lemon/cedar (avail. in stick only) in favor of the pine/cedar for now. I also ordered one bergamot and one peppermint. I think that makes seven soaps that I've ordered now this week. I'm finished for a while. Better start shaving my whole body, too, if I'm ever going to use this stuff up.

Hi Doug,
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy mine! You did not get a Grapefriuit and Peppermint?

Ron,

I very nearly did go for the grapefruit & peppermint, but for some reason went with the straight mint. Probably because I also ordered the bergamot, and I already have the lime.

I'm bracing myself for the vetiver; Charles assures me it's VERY earthy. Could we have found the "Feather blade of soaps?" Not for the faint of heart.
