UPDATE: 

So we have a winner of the contest and it's frenchy with his pick for the name of the product which is:  


Vétivert 

I like the simplicity of the name, my graphic designer likes the way it looks and I like the meaning. It came down to two choices so it was close and after much thought and counseling from my graphic designer, my son and a couple of my close shaving friends who BTW were not in this contest [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Vétivert won out in the end. [/font]

So when the product is released I will send all the products to him that are in the contest winners package. 

Congrats frenchyon picking the winning name and a big thanks to all that participated in this " Name the product " contest. I'm sure it won't be the last as sometimes names come to me very easily and sometimes I draw a blank and I need help. LOL 

Oh and just for future reference, there were also some good names that some members picked but they only put in one name and I can't help but wonder what some of their other picks might have been like since they could have picked more names and increased their odds of winning the contest. Just my 2 cents on the subject. 

Great shaves all!

Let’s have some fun! 

Another name the product contest. 


Ok so for those that caught Shavemd Marks post about being a tester for the new upcoming ETHOS F Base aka Firm base. He mentioned the scent which was something I stumbled on playing with the idea of putting a Vetiver based aroma blend together but as I mentioned in a former post it’s a small window when it comes to a Vetiver I like and all the others that I don’t like. So after playing for a couple of weeks I came up with a Vetiver based Aroma blend that I really like and would feel good putting it out to market. 

I’m going to give you a few thoughts on the scent and the direction I’d like to go with the name of the product and I’m also wondering which Collection I should put it in or do I create a new one. As you can see this Aroma blend caught me off guard and I’m drawing a blank on this one. 

So here’s some words or feelings I get when I smell this
scent that might help when coming up with a name. 

Clarity 
Clean 
Subtlety addictive 
Citrusy Green
Smooth but not creamy
A sprinkling of green

Names I like for ETHOS products 

Simple but creative
Classic but not boring. 
I do like words in other languages if they fit the product. 

Names I don’t like for ETHOS products 

Cartoonish or comical ones - not there yet
Not more than 3 words 


Ok so here’s the contest. 

Start time..  right now. 

Ends next Sunday at 12 noon EST when I’ll pick a winner. 

Winner gets the first production Shave Soap and matching Skin Food Splash in this new scent when it’s released. Also a Restore Shave Brush Cleanser and odor eliminator & Restore Shave Brush Conditioner and one of the new Shampoo/Body washes. 

Each person gets 4 picks. An based on the past I’d say don’t try to pick all 4 at the same time. So take your time before you complete the 1 - 4 picks. 

Also make sure if picking a name that’s another language please post the meaning of the name. 

Good luck to all!

Wood Glade -- Your description, Frank, put me in mind of a sunny glade in the woods.  Or Sunny Glade?  I first think wood for the vetiver, of course.

Khus…….Chrysopogon zizanioides, is commonly known as vetiver and as khus…in Hindi…in western and northern India..home to some of the best khus..

Kannauj…..a city in India which became the biggest center for the aromatic trade and for the first time, a vetiver tax was introduced

Vétivert…..captures the Vetiver and green vibe of the scent..conveys it’s not a straight Vetiver scent…
