Lilac Vegetal: Nobody forgets their first time.

[Chef455]

Ever wonder why this bottle is almost always untouched at your favorite bar?

It's the same phenomenon as the veg. Many a shave den has one splash missing never to be touched again.

There's no turning back! You bought the big bottle.

I'm also one of the chosen. I also love "The Veg" and lucky for me so does my lady.

Welcome.

Well, I thank you very much for that!

I just realized how Ukraine can win the war! They could buy up all of the Vegetal and use it as an aerosol weapon. It would have the aggressors running all the way home. Of course, many on the front lines would be overcome, go into convulsions, and pass out. Thereafter, the smell would stick in their noses for weeks. Many would cut off their noses to get away from the stink.

I have just received my first bottle of Pinaud Lilac Vegetal. I opened it and got a good splash on my face.
Now, it is smelling like I have gone to a cemetery and peed over the flowers of someone’s grave. But, strangely enough, I…love it!
I might be one of the chosen.

I agree with your assessment of the smell!

Hard pass on this side of the screen. I could not get past the initial sniff test the first time I laid nostrils on it.

It is one of my favorite aftershaves, but I don't wear it on a work day.

I wear my least favorite scents to work.
I wear the good ones when I'm going be with people I like.

I can't wear fragrances, a fact I'm grateful for every time one of these Lilac Vegetal threads comes up.

I think the Geneva convention outlawed the use of the Veg in war

Bought a bottle today and tried some. Jury is still out. Definitely a funky kind of smell.

A lot of men seem to not have a well developed sense of smell. If they did, they wouldn't get anywhere near a bottle of this stuff.

Just had my first Veg. I am among the chosen. It’s wonderful.

First sniff off the bottle I could detect the notorious “cat pee” notes. Doubt entered my mind but I remained intrigued. I asked my wife if she liked it and she said “gross, smells like cat pee.” Doubt Grew.

Thankfully when splashed on the skin the scent opens up and gets a lot more floral and fresh. Neither of us can smell the essence of our feline friends. I’m looking forward to seeing how it changes after being decanted to glass. What a curious fragrance.
