There is the scent of pending Fall in the air. Elk, albeit infrequently, are starting to bugle in preparation for the coming rut. Hillside grasses are turning yellow. The smell of the meadow Wyethia have taken on the familiar “sharp” scent. Fireweed is making its last push and seed pods are covering the stems. Lupine and geranium are all but done. And my desire for the darker soaps is returning. Phoenix and Beau Borealis, as the name would imply, Is all about pine and fir and it sure satisfied this morning.Man, you make me want to go camping and hiking in the mountains of the west. Deer season will be upon us soon!

Vetiver Planet v. (Crown King–Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements) Indian vetiver, Haitian vetiver, Sri Lankan vetiver, double distilled vetiver
What planet have I been on? I thought I had already dipped a brush into just about every vetiver soap ever made, but somehow until today I overlooked Vetiver Planet, and I've been missing out. How's it smell? It's vetiver, obviously, – rich, green, and dusty – but it's not a stinker. Mixing all those vetiver oils results in a remarkably smooth, earthy, pleasant smelling soap. It's another fragrance I could happily use every day. While some vetivers smell like an ash try, and others reek of turpentine, I'm not getting any of that here. VP is a little licoricey and a little root cellary but always easy on the nose. If you liked Mickey Lee's Réunion, you will probably crack a smile when you sniff this soap, too.
