I agree. Both are great performers.IMHO the Vetyver is a wonderful scent and much stronger than the Fougere in terms of scent. Both perform the same. And FWIW, the new Vetyver is my favorite of all the MdC scents that I've used.
Chris, have you tried the rose scent? I emailed MDC about upcoming scents they will make available and they replied that they intend to release rose and vetiver later this year. I definitely want to buy one of them.
They are about the same in terms of scent strength. Performance is identical, as it should be, given that they have the same ingredients. You can't go wrong with either of them.
I quite liked the scent of the sample you sent. To me, the benzoin gave it a sweet vanilla vibe and I likened it to Rose Pudding - if there were such a thing.I had a tub of it and PIF'd it; I did not care for the scent. To me, the MdC rose smelled quite artificial.
I think you're right about the benzoin. It's not that I disliked the soap scent, per se, just wasn't the pure rose I was hoping for (if that makes sense).I quite liked the scent of the sample you sent.

Not a pure rose, for sure.
I just got it and had a shave with it today. It's a nice take on a Vetiver and pairs well with a couple of my Vetiver colognes. The scent strength is about equal to the others except for the Rose which to me is stronger than all the others I have in my den. MDC advises to leave the top off their soaps once you get it in your den. I know it's to get more of the water out which is why they age their soaps but I don't leave the tops off all of the time but rather let it dry out for the entire day or all night depending on what time I shave. How many leave the top off theirs I'm curious.
Performance I find is no different than any of their other soaps of theirs I have and I happen to like the new packaging as well.

This is a premo scent and a favorite in my den! I like to Pair it with Fine Accoutrements Green Vetiver!
I think the that the fine scent is a bit lighter where as the MDC is a bit heavier and robust YMMV, but the pairing is pretty close IMHO.So, similar would you say ??
I quite like Fine Green Vetiver, both scent and performance, just works great or my skin.
