so i went into my barber's shop and asked to try some since they have all the club man products open to use. I knew what i was getting into, i read this and other threads before. dumped it in my hand and yea.... cat pee... oh, man, what the..... waited and yea it mellowed and when the cat pee was all gone i smelled lilac. i smelled like lilac... how is lilac a manly scent? it's kind of ... well, its ..... not musk or sandalwood or even frankincense or vetiver so why even put up with the pee smell... yea, i know YMMV.
I picked up a bottle of the Veg over the summer at Bed Bath & Beyond. Decanting it into a glass container did seem to mellow it out somewhat but in the end still couldn't stomach it.
I bought my first bottle today. It is a bit strong at first but calms down. All my wife said is save it for work days.
Now that I've had a few days with it, the bottle along with my new bottle of Clubman is going to someone that may put it to use. Certainly not for me.
