A ha! Some stuff in the mail today. Ignore the price on the Vetiver, I didn't pay anywhere near that.

A quick sniff.... First ever Vetyver experience - WOW! This stuff might be the perfect fall scent. Taylor Sandalwwod... Not so sure. I will wear it tomrrow to give it a proper chance.

Scotto,
Tell me that the L'Occitane Vetiver is nothing short of HEAVENLY!

The black tubs are self explanatory, the glass bowl holds a T&H Shaving Soap, and the str8 is a Robeson!

Hello Scotto,

Yes, do report back on the L'Occitane (how does one pronounce this anyway?) Vetiver. Ron does speak highly of it. And it is reasonably priced as well.

Right now, I have some C-M Vetiver (discontinued; got a bottle courtesy of Randy). Considering Creed Original Vetiver, L'Occitane and Floris.

I try my Creed sample tomorrow. I might try L'Occitane next time I am at The Shops in Willow Bend on the other side of town. Maybe the next Floris sale will feature Vetiver. Ah, the possibilities!

I love the Taylor Sandalwood; perfect with Taylor Sandalwood shave cream. I like their talc as well. Let us know what you think.

Cheers,

I am planning on wearing the L'Occitane (no idea on pronounciation) Vetyver tomorrow. My trial wrist spritz yesterday left me very impressed. It was the most excited I have been about a new fragrance in a while. Stay tuned for tomorrow's review.

I am wearing the Taylor's Sandalwood today. Interesting stuff. I feel very upper crust, if that makes any sense. I think for me it might be behind the C&E Sandalwood, which is a bit "zippier" and more lively IMO. We shall see how it progresses throughout the day. I was fairly parsimonious since it was a new scent for me, and I didn't want to become The Walking Cloud of Sandalwood at work. :117:

Thanks Ron.

"L'Occitane" is "loxitan" like "Anne"

or take your pick here

says grey-um.

Coche_y_bondhu · Sep 20, 2005

Thank you, Ron and Graham. Now it is easy to pronounce.

Hat's off to Em at Em's Place (www.emsplace.com) on top notch service, and quick shipping. Ordered
this weekend and received today! Merkur Blades, Strengthening and Minty Mint Shaving Rounds,
Lavender All Purpose Facial and Body Cream and Exotic Butter Cream (Joel, you are right, the Butter
Cream does wonders as a lip balm).

Thanks Em!

Rik and Ron twisted my arm to get the pine and cedar shave stick from QED. Hopefully they are still in stock. I took the opportunity to toss in a Taylor's Rose cream to complete my non-cologne-scented Taylor inventory. Also had to re-up on the DaVinci water, which is running dangerously low.

guenron · Sep 23, 2005

Ah! Snapped up a bottle of DR Harris Pink Aftershave from Charles at QED

Scotto · Sep 23, 2005

Pine and cedarwood shave stick, Taylor's Rose, and some more DaVinci H20 from Charles.

Ron - what is the Harris pink like?

guenron · Sep 23, 2005

Scotto,
For shame! You will love the Pine and Cedarwood! Still awaiting "Pink" arrival.
