My son described the scent as smoked bacon.
Mmmmm, bacon..... 
I guess that makes it an ideal morning shave cream.
Does Salter use essential oils or perfume oils? Any thoughts on the use of the Vetiver cream with mildly sensitive skin?
Water, in case you are planning on ordering Salters Vetiver, it's no longer made.
I have been thinking about adding it to my next QED order. I have never tried Salter's shave creams and just want to be relatively confident that it is quality stuff and will not burn my face off.
That's news to me.
I have samples of the Mint and Citrus available if you want to go that route. Check out the Shaving Mall for details if interested.

I disliked the Salters Vetiver so much that i sent a full tub of it to the other side of the world; in fact, to the USA; i even took the shipping costs on my account, so badly i wanted it to get away from me; Mark (TSSB) knows all about it and is enjoying it still, maybe even right now!

What did you so strongly dislike? Was it the scent or the shave quality?
I don't know about you guys, but if somebody did make a cream that smelled like bacon, I'd buy it.

The smell of it.....yikes....

Doesn't it smell like smoked fish or something?
Now I definitely have to try it. I love the funky stuff. Give me barn-yardy Rhone wine, horse-blanket-smelling belgian gueze, and now smoked fish vetiver cream. To each his own! Viva la stank!
I love these similies... I am sure this one will help, knowing how cold it is in upstate NY, vetiver smells a great deal like the smoke from a peat fire.

While I didn't mind the scent of Salter Vetiver - I just didn't find it nearly as relaxing as say mint, almond, rose, sandalwood, etc. It is certainly something different, and it is quite nice - but I am not certain I would buy it again (I traded my jar as the individual I was trading with wanted to try a jar of salter, and between it, salter mint and salter citrus - the vetiver had to go).
Bottom line - it is a fine scent - but it is a scent I would be more interested in cologne form. Word to the wise - don't use it salter vetiver the say before you choose to use a softer scented cream (IE:Rose/almond) as the residual scent from the vetiver will muck up the next days scent - so use it, then use a stouter sandalwood, or heavy cologne scented cream.

Received today in the mail....
Creed Green Irish Tweed EDC
Floris 127 EDT
From Target....
Proraso soap (I've tried the cream 2 times and traded both tubes) figured I'd give the soap a chance.
Proraso cream aftershave
I sprayed a mist of each scent on opposite arms...
The Floris 127 smells very light and seems that it would be perfect on a hot summer day. The Creed smells very familiar to me but the fragrance is very rich.
I may have to shave tomorrow just for the heck of it.
