Lavender or Vetiver Aftershave Splash Option?

[john parker]

I am of the type that likes to match aftershave with cologne. I enjoy Guerlain Vetiver and Caron Pour Un Homme, but find that their aftershave splashes available now are large only on eBay and expensive. I seem to remember that Fine had similar ones, but is no longer making them. I am not having much luck researching substitutes and would welcome suggestions.

Lavender: Speick is a good match.

Vetiver: Malizia Vetyver works well with GV.

For the lavender scent I like Atkisons for gentleman and Castle Forbes too.
For Vetiver, I love l’Erbolario.

Shoplifter, forgive me but Is GV Guerlain Vetiver?

Try B&M Lavanille with the Caron, or honestly even Pinaud Clubman Vanilla is a decent complement.

Guerlain Vetiver is one of my favourites and I also like to match the AS with the EdC/T/P. As the original AS was discontinued decades ago, I tried the following. Here's my thoughts on them.
- Fine Accoutrements (discontinued): Guerlain Vetiver clone with added menthol, which ruins the scent.
- Malizia Uomo Vetyver: vetiver with lemon.
- Eufros Vetiver de Haiti: raw, nutty vetiver.
- Declaration Grooming Dirtyver: vetiver with sandalwood.
- Stirling Port-au-Prince: vetiver with a touch of lemongrass.
- Ethos Vetivert: vetiver with citrus notes.
- Le Pere Lucien De Vétiver et de Belles Choses: vetiver with incense.

In the end, I got the vintage Guerlain Vetiver AS (1980s). Malizia and Ethos would also work fine, though.
