What soap/cream did you use today?

Dirtyver (Declaration Grooming) bergamot, vetiver, petrichor

If you've ever dug spuds, you know that wonderful earthy, green scent that wells up from the ground when you plunge your fork into the potato mounds. That's what I met when I cracked open Dirtyver yesterday. It smells drier than it's predecessor, Marshlands, not so spicy, and it lacks Marshland's chocolate note. It's also missing that smoked peanut smell that's so apparent in Mike's Vetiver and Salter's French Vetiver. But I'm not suggesting that Dirtyver is lean or clean. Far from it. It's very earthy, like root cellar earthy. Think of loads of damp soil impregnated with hairy, fibrous bits of plants in hibernation. Yes, it's dark, but it's not abysmal. In fact it has an interesting bright side, too. There's acutally a lot of zing in Dirtyver. I'm thinking I smell a good dose of bergamot and some cedar. I don't know if those notes are separate additions to the scent pyramid or just part of the vetiver oil Scott's used in this soap. Whatever the case, it smells fantastic, and it's so different from my other vetiver soaps that it merits a full tub.

This old Idaho spud farmer will have to check this one out.

Stirling Electric Sheep. Creamy goodness. Two or three shaves left and this tub is toast.
