    For those who have read about, and wondered about, how they might like Pinaud Lilac Vegital(The Veg), now is your chance to try it, for free.

    Background: First, gwsmallwood gave swarden43 a bottle, to see if he was to be among the "Chosen". Then the bottle was passed, to me, to see if I was one of the lucky few. From what I have read, to be "Chosen" requires the correct body chemistry, and olfactory senses.
    I received the bottle in the mail, yesterday, and it looked full. The wife and 9 yr old daughter gave it a sniff, out of the bottle. They both thought it was very floral scented, as did I. I prepared myself for the experience, by cleaning my face well. I applied a normal amount, to my face and neck, and let it air out for several minutes.
    The wife said she thought it was floral, but didn't like it on me. My daughter said I need to give it to "Mom".
    My take on it was that it was very strong and floral smelling, that did not agree with me.
    Conclusion: I'm not among the "Chosen".

    Included in this Pass-Around is
    1. Pinaud Vegital(slightly used).
    2.Tuck of Vintage Wilkinson Sword Super Sword Blades.(one of my favorites)

    Requirements:
    1. Member for 1 month( since 2-29-16), and at least 20 posts.
    2. Say I'm in.
    3. Use The Veg no more than twice, to give others a chance.
    4, Understand you are responsible for postage to the next in line.
    5. CONUS only. Sorry, shipping out of the states is expensive now.
    6, Pass on the tracking number to the next in line.

    Feel free to add whatever you would like, for the next people in line to experience.
    Please use only one blade, and pass the remainder to the next.
    Please comment when you receive the package, and when you mail it out.
    Also, give us you experience with "The Veg" and any other items you sample. Imput is always appreciated.

    RyX DoH!

    Not in, as I too am already Chosen.
    Great idea for a PIF @DaltonGang ! It's like a Mini Pass Around Box Tour. A wonderful opportunity for the Uninitiated to see if they stand with The Chosen, or not.

    My favorite review of the Veg;

    "Legends say the Veg will magnify your true essence…on some, it smells like cannon smoke and raw courage, on others, like an involuntary bodily reaction caused by the sudden unexpected appearance of cannon smoke and raw courage.” – Topgumby

    Nice to see the bottle has developed a life of its own. While not chosen, I have to say @DaltonGang and @swarden43 both had very good experiences with The Veg, all things considered. While my wife and I both got the floral aspect, my wife would say it smelled like someone threw a bouquet into a porta-potty. I was optimistic, as I have been enjoying the Lilac Witch Hazel I've been using.

    I still stand by the belief that everyone who is into this hobby enough to be a member of a forum should be required to try The Veg within the first year. It's an integral part of the adventure.

    Lilac veg is a great scent . I like the Fleur de France better. Great way to let people " try before they buy".

    OP you say the vegetal scent is floral strong, then why I read somewhere some people saying that it smells like cat pee.....? I assume when you say it has floral scent strong as in aka strong scent of Flowers correct? if that's true makes me wonder why people say it smells like cat pee?........

    Woo hoo! Long live the Veg! I'm not in as I am already one of the Chosen but would encourage all who haven't tried it to see if they are one of this elite group.

    Different scent on different people. It has a lot to do with body chemistry. It smells different when it's on you, than straight out of the bottle.
    But, if you believe the folklore, it produces a scent similar to your personality.

    Two in, so far. We need about 20 more.

    I'm not in but I encourage everyone to at least give it a shot. I actually like both the scent and the feel of the Veg but my wife hates it so I don't wear it. I never got a cat pee smell and my wife couldn't stand it long enough to figure out what she smelled. If this grows too big for just one bottle I'll donate my bottle as well.
