I see so many people giving mixed reviews about Pinaud Lilac Veg. and I’m debating on trying it. What does it smell like? What are your reviews on it.

Just try it. It's cheap. It's different. Don't just try it once... give it a chance. I am somewhat indifferent. Certainly not my favorite but I do enjoy it as a change of pace ever so often.

It smells like cat urine or the inside of a funeral home. Either way you either love it or hate it. Guess what camp I’m in. Lol. It made my garbage disposal stink for hours. 
I love The Veg and use it regularly.
Please remember that all scents are, to some degree, body chemistry dependent. The Veg is no exception.
On me, it smells like Lilacs with a powdery finish. My Bride, daughter, nieces, etc. confirm the same scent when I wear The Veg.
None of us have ever smelled 'cat ****', 'urinal cake', 'funeral home' or any of the other 'colorful' descriptors attributed to The Veg by those with conflicting body chemistry.

The only way to know if you are 'Chosen' to be a Knight of the Veg Table is to get a bottle and try it.
Just my opinion and YMMV

A summary statement of what it means to be Chosen, a Knight of the Veg Table written by Topgumby. Why a "Knight of the Veg Table"? It's a coupling of the comedic and a tip of the hat to man's nobler ambitions, and the tragedy that can spring from pursuing those ambitions. Camelot had...

To me it's one of the two quintessential barbershop scents (along with regular Clubman). It has a sharp green, flowery scent that turns a little powdery afterward. I like it very much. It takes some "imagination" today to appreciate it, since it was originally created in a century when tastes were different, but it rewards those who are open to that.
With all due respect to the Knights...I tossed my sample from Maggards as soon as I got a good whiff of it. But to each his own. Get a sample and experience it for yourself. Might not want to plan leaving the house that day.
Fot those of you who try The Veg, but do not care for it.....
May I suggest a PIF with the balance of your bottle of Veg rather than tossing it in the garbage?
Help out some of our B&B Brothers who may want to see if they are Chosen.
Just my opinion.

I would be open to a PIF if someone isn’t using a sample bottle if it.Fot those of you who try The Veg, but do not care for it.....

Many of use older gents have probably tried it without knowing if they have ever been to a barber. It's the only aftershave my wife has actually complemented me on.
It smells crazy. The one time I used it it made my eyes water, but I dug it.
Uggh! Should have thought of that. Newbie mistake!
No worries.Uggh! Should have thought of that. Newbie mistake!
Only Aftershave that makes my eyes water is Clubman Osage Rub.
Of course, they ALL make my eyes water if I am clumsy and get them directly IN my eyes.
I am still thinking about trying Osage Rub. Pretty sure it's been used on me at the barber's, though.
Kind of sounds like the first time I had a double IPA beer. I'm going to pass on the Veg though.
I love Osage Rub - even if it does make my eyes water. Use it more than Witch Hazel.
I tried it one time. It made my face go numb. Smells fine. If you put it in a glass bottle some of the weird synthetic smell goes away and actually smells fairly pleasant.
I'm going to be trying Tabac for the first time tomorrow. Does that count as adventure?And just where is your sense of adventure?
