I Joined The Ranks Of The Elite

[OV1kenobi]

The Order Of The Lilac Vegetarians.

I finally found the Potion of the Gods a couple of days ago at Tulsa Barber and Beauty Supply. They are going out of business, so I purchased two of the remaining four 12 ounce bottles for under $4.00 per bottle.

Yes, it really does smell like a combination of my favorite florist's shop and Play Doh. What can I say? I love them both.

Hello. My name is David and I am a Lilac Vegetarian.

Warmest Regards.

 

[Topgumby]

Welcome aboard!

(Just don't get too close, unless I'm wearing it, too)

Speaking of a florist's shop, there is something about this fragrance that is a dead ringer to oriental lillies, in addition to French lilac and some bouquet greenery.

Strange, but this oriental lilly note is so similar to Play-Doh. Perhaps intentional?

Go buy your wife/girlfriend/significant other a floral bouquet with some white, oriental lillies for Christmas. Take a deep whiff of that oh, so lovely fragrance and you will know exactly what I mean.

I also detect jasmine and gardenia. An extremely complex and sublime fragrance.

This fragrance is so "Old School" that I feel as though I should be wearing Morning Dress with a black "Anthony Eden" and a white shirt with wing collars.

Rather accurately describes an 1890's mortician, doesn't it? LOL!

To those of you that equate the fragrance of Lilac Vegetal with cat urine or litter boxes, I really do not understand, for I have always kept my cat's litter box clean! Perhaps you should pay closer attention to your feline's needs.

Otherwise, shame on you!

Cheerio,

David

Yes, it really does smell like a combination of hobos that pissed their pants and rotting flowers. What can I say? I love them both.

ftfy

I've said it before and I'll say it again. LV performs wonderfully but personally I just can't get past the scent. As always YMMV.

SlagleRock:

I feel your pain.

I really do.

There are few in this world that can appreciate the crisp, masculine fragrance of Lilac Vegetal.

It is not a fragrance for the plebian. Rather, it is to be savored by those of us among The Enlightened Ones truly capable of enjoying this haute couture offering from the master parfumiers of Pinaud.

After all, the nose of the masses is simply not refined enough to detect and enjoy the elegant subtleties and nuances of Lilac Vegetal.

Sigh!!

Pity. Perhaps one day you may be counted among we few. We happy few.

With Warmest Regards,

David

Excellent retort Dave.

Though for what its worth I'd consider myself more of a patrician.

Rob:

First of all, thank you for your service with the legions. I, too, was numbered among them many years ago.

Also, I count myself fortunate and privileged to be able to spar with you and hold my own with a Meister Poster.

I tangled with one of the "Big Dogs" and survived.

By your admission to being a Patrician, can I assume you at least graduated to Clubman?

Droit Et Avant,

David

Indeed, Clubman is one of my little guilty pleasures. My wife thinks it smells a bit too "old man" but I do enjoy it.

Can anyone say Meow!!!

Beat me to it.

Ladies love flowers and cat pee.

For the full florist shop effect use some Thayers Rose witch hazel before the LV.

I think what you meant to say is those who have had their olfactory senses flummoxed by the twisted evil required to sell a product so foul.

It's great that you enjoy it, but you, Sir, have made my list of people not to take scent advice from!

Cheers,

Even those of us conscripted from among the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths favor the sublime fragrance of Lilac Vegital. A splash on our shaven faces, a bit behind our ears, and a quick swig before we're off to the forum. Suitable for Palatine villa and Gallic encampment alike.

I wanna smell some of this stuff, but it's always in a plastic sealed bottle at the store.
If I were to wear some of this stuff with a C&S cologne like Cuba, I'd have a big chunk of the spectrum of domestic animal excrement. Cat pee and dog crap
YMMV

It is sealed for your protection. Yikes, that stuff is nasty.

Here a barbarian is shown the zones of application for Lilac Vegetal.

 

[Monkeydad]

I received a free sample and took my first ever whiff of LV this weekend...

I think I'll put it on once to make a definite decision, but I am also afraid my dog is going to pee on me, thinking I was marked by another animal already and he's reclaiming me as his property.

Seriously, it DOES smell like urine!

In my case, I was recruited from among the Britons. Served in Legio X (10th U.S. Cavalry - The Buffalo Soldiers).

Really, does anyone else detect the fragrance of Oriental lillies?

I do understand how the unwashed masses can find some some similarity with perfumed cat litter.

However, we Lilac Vegetarians are above them.
