But the scent-profile morphed more into the vetiver scent by the 3rd pass which was really unexpected but very cool. Really looking forward to this one being part of the rotation!

I like and own this one too but I always got the vetiver first. Great soap and great scent.

After this morning's shave, I feel like I'm better able to pick up the vetiver off the puck. But that, oh so wonderful, black pepper still comes out first for me. Any way you sniff it...it's still a great scent Happy2

Cubebe v. (Saponificio Varesino) woody cologne

There’s a nice dose of fir mixed in with the citrus and amber. The soap smells spicy but it’s also foresty. Imagine you're hiking in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by pines and fir and cedars, and then unexpectedly you stumble into a Moroccan spice bazaar. The juxtaposition is a little jarring at first, but after a while it starts smelling like a dream of Shangri-La. Cubebe also reminds me of Penhaligon’s Endymion but with a sharper citrus and a slightly sweeter floral note. To help your skin, SV has included monoi de Tahiti (gardenia petals steeped in coconut oil). This is supposed to have rehydrating and soothing properties, and it smells pretty good too.
