Yes, most certainly a prominent smoke note but not a campfire and not bowl-you-over like Stirling Texas on Fire (which I really enjoy).  Is it dirty?  Yes.  Yes my friend it is dirty. Sort of dusty country road meets the old root cellar.  It’s so dirty I can taste it in my brain  Almost expect to feel grit on my teeth.  There is a piquant note that suggests citrus but doesn’t reach the high notes citrus hits.  It’s Vetiver in a glorious uncut fashion.  If Salters Wild Rose is a beautiful young lady, French Vetiver is an older woman who fought with the Resistance.  She may have scars and crows feet but her life has made her infinitely more inviting than the beauty of youth. And I love her.

That, sir, is a wonderful description!  Despite the temptations to buy this one in the past, that may have pushed me over the edge Happy2

Thirty-five years or so ago, that would have been an invitation for me to grab the rock and use that pile as a springboard for some high-flying one-handed Jordan-esque dunks!

Started off by pouring hot water over the soap.  I let it sit there for only 3 or 4 seconds before dumping the "bloom" water into the sink.  A 7-second load and that was WAY too much soap!  This lather took about 15 minutes and a ton of water.  I probably did a full dip of the knot 15 to 20 times and I had lathering flying all the bathroom...even ended up with small clump on the top of my head!

The soap is soft anyway. Why did you fill it with water? I even make a brush set from a bowl.
