Yeah, I am one of the ones who loves vetiver, but my husband can't stand it. But when it is with the patchouli and lavander he doens't mind. He uses my deorderant spray also

I have all of those : But the sandlewood and rose are FOs..well..I hate Rose too so I will mix those together.

I love vetiver. However when I smell an opened bottle, it's yucky, smells like dirt. It needs to be diluted, gets overpowering easily.

To see if you really like it, I think I'd suggest adding one drop to roughly a cup of water and smelling *that*

Does anybody remember Gap's fragrances some years back? There was one fresh smelling "grass" one that I absolutely adored. Anybody know how to recreate that fresh scent? It honestly reminded me of spring days and it made me want to frolic.


It's a pity you don't know me in person. My being totally girly is kind of odd, though I do and can act like a little kid and could probably frolic without giving it a second thought.

I have been putting rosemary and peppermint in my vinegar for no-pooing. It's really nice. I liked rosemary and lavender too, but the peppermint is fun for the season. I smell Christmas-y!

It's not an exact re-creation of the Gap perfume -- and it certainly isn't homemade -- but Demeter does a pretty awesome job capturing that freshly cut grass scent!
