So what are your thoughts on this one? Love it? Hate it? What? I love it! It makes me want to grab my sabre and charge!!! I don't get any of the cat pee, urinal cake or Play Doh smells, but do get floral, powdery and some closer to the ground pungency. Lovely. I tend to shave in the evening and enjoy an EDT the day after. Usually, I can just smell my aftershave in the morning after sleep but it's gone after a wash. This is still there after a wash and just wants a pick me up ... Trumper's Eucris is that pick me up. Cassis, complex florals, powder and must. Must, not musk. What a follow-up!

Finally got to try some Veg this morning....I can see why there is so much fuss about this scent, it is definitely not for everyone. As for me..... I'm one of the chosen...I love it!!!

A 'chosen one'. Me too!!! Pretty much the only scent I will use. Lovvvvve it. : ) Since picking some up over three years ago now, it always is available on my sink in my favorite old barber bottle (late 1800s green one, still looking for a proper top)

Beautiful bottle indeed! When I got my bottle of The Veg, based on my experience with Clubman Original and Special Reserve, I held it at arms length and immediately decanted it without even sniffing it. After letting it mellow in the glass for a week or so I liberally splashed it on after a shave. I like it - a lot. More importantly, my wife likes it. I Am Chosen. --Bob

Bob, what is the effect of decanting the Veg. in a glass bottle? Do you notice a significant change/improvement in the fragrance? in other words.....do I need to run and find a glass bottle to decant my Veg?

Do you notice a significant change/improvement in the fragrance? in other words.....do I need to run and find a glass bottle to decant my Veg? Well, you don't need to run . . . I find that The Veg has a sharpness in the initial top note that is sort of synthetic and plastic-y. I think that this is what the anti-Veg crowd likens to cat urine (I have a cat - it does NOT smell like cat pee). Being a top note it dissipates very quickly, but storing The Veg in a glass container seems to eliminate it entirely. I find the The Veg, Clubman Original and Special Reserve all benefit noticeably from decanting. With Lime Sec and Citrus Musk it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. --Bob

Yes, I totally agree with you: Veg's top notes are the most "difficult", and most probably this is what puts a lot of people off. I find the The Veg, Clubman Original and Special Reserve all benefit noticeably from decanting. With Lime Sec and Citrus Musk it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. --Bob Thanks for the explanation...now I definitely need to try it, both with the Veg and Clubman Original.

Decanting? Darn you! Now I have a whole new issue to think about. Will it ever end??? : )
The bottle I have is open to air and not sealed. The veg certainly tones down. I am not sure if it has a negative impact over time as I can't really tell that. I'm going to have to start doing some serious sniffing and decanting over here.
Decanting colognes. Huh. The idea never even occurred to me.

Here is a true like it or hate it scent. I have heard it described as nice and powdery all the way to being called cat pee. I like the stuff although I don't use it a lot. The scent right from the bottle is not the scent that will linger. You have to let it dry down several minutes. From what I have read this scent was made for the Hungarian Calvary. I suppose if your trying to coverup the scent of horsemen you have to work at it. So what are your thoughts on this one? Love it? Hate it? What? I hear the Veg has chosen you?
