Tried to tame "The VEG" to no avail

[Redzone]

This thread could well get be banned from B&B Gents but I tried to tame the "VEG" anyone else admit to trying?
I have been using essential oils for the past year or two for making things for home. Throat lozenges for the winter
AS's, cleaners, mouthwashes etc.
I hit the VEG with 5 drops of peppermint and 4 drops of Geranium after much deliberation.
Lets just say it was like poking a tiger with a stick, the VEG just flexed it's muscle and increased it's aroma !

The EO's were dead in the water and I am sure what I now have is a genetically enhanced version

So that's the end of that experiment. Anyone want a PIF bottle of steroid Veg ?

LOL!!!!!!

Next time, after the first use, fill the airspace in the bottle with glycerine.
It tones down both the scent and the fiery burn of the Pinaud line. Still PLENTY of burn to go around, and still plenty of scent.
Adding more EO will make a more complex fragrance, but it's the alcohol that is carrying those EOs to your nose and until it is diluted with something less volatile, it won't give up.


OTOH: You do not tame The Veg... The Veg tames you!

Too true.
I have 500ml of glycerine, I might add the "VEG" to it. Yes it has tamed me in one foul swipe

Is it bad I kind of want to try this?
...I have a feeling id end up in the shower with a scouring brush though.

Before you completely write it off, try this. The skunky smell will be significantly reduced if you air it out. I Transferred mine to a glass vintage VEG bottle and completely changed the scent. ( as far as the skunky pee smell some express ) I dumped mine out into a ramekin then transferred it to the glass. I believe it would work if you just left a small amount in something and let it air out. I'm convinced that if THE VEG smelled the way it does in the glass bottle, I have, many more people would like it.

The VEG chooses you , you do not choose the VEG and it cannot be tamed!

In other news, a New Zealander was eaten while trying to tame the Veg. His name has been released to next of kin and scenes at 11:00.....

Don't worry too much. That happened to me. Day one was horrible. The rest, however, is VEG history.

It is a bringer of mixed reactions.
I love it, my wife loves it, and my boss has not commented on it so I assume it is tolerable.
Some claim that it smells like cat urine, but I am convinced that this is an association from their youth where they smelled something similar while in the presence of a cat box or public urinal.

Recommendation, do not sniff it from the bottle. Apply it, and give it 10-15 minutes to dry-down before making a judgement. It is a very complex scent, but the topnotes (the first think you smell) die down quickly.

The Veg is in the same scent family as Lime Sec, Citrus Musk, and Tres Flores.

Oh I know that much, but still...after that times up its to the shower with a chore boy!

Sacrilege!

I would be honoured to try your roid rage Veg.

Another issue is, you can't just dab a little on. It doesn't work that way. You have to BATHE in it.

Then you either find you are chosen...or someone finds your corpse.

I have been searching for the VEG in 30 gallon drums. It occurs to me that if I could get it in a 55 gallon drum, I could sink the drum into the floor, and cut the top off. I could dunk myself in there for a few minutes after every shower.

I haven't legitimately laughed out loud at a B&B post in a long time, but this one line did it. Yes, The Veg increased itself on its own volition. Wow, that's funny!

Iv'e added glycerine and have the bomb disposal unit on speed dial.
