Pleasant Enough, Not Much Scent, Need a Lot of Product To Shower
Like all too many organic soaps, this example ends up being a bit too subtle and bland in scent and power to justify its price point. I love vetiver but even with a generous dollop on the loofah, I get only the faintest scent of that fragrance here. The hemp / vetiver combo smells pleasant in a mild sort of way, but this is not what I expected at the price point and given the product name. If I wanted "fragrance free", I'd buy it!<br /><br />Besides the really mild non-especially vetiverish scent, NH IH&V body wash also needs a lot of soap to generate any lather, and even needs a lot just to get through a whole body wash. Lather may or may not be to your liking, but having to reload the loofah halfway through your shower is no one's idea of fun. At the rate of product usage, I would be amazed if this 13 oz bottle lasts me for more than 2-3 weeks.<br /><br />Ultimately, even if you want to stay organic, there are better choices with more prominent scents and better product consumption rates. EOs Cedar & Mint for Men works well enough and can even be used as a shampoo and shave cream for the undemanding. My personal favorite semi-organic products are from Every Man Jack. Their cedar and sandalwood (two separate types there) body wash have great smells and give adequate lather and cleaning duration with roughly half the product needed to get similar effects from NH IH&V wash. (I call Every Man Jack semi-organic as I haven't bothered to assess all the ingredients on their label, but they have no parabens or SLS derivatives, so they pass my personal screening standard.) Both of these product lines are much cheaper than Nubian Heritage.<br /><br />For vetiver lovers who want that scent in their bath ritual, Provence Sante makes a good vetiver beauty bar soap, and also a rather expensive vetiver body wash. which I have not tried due to its high cost. I have tried the beauty bar, and though not cheap, it does indeed give the user a noticeable vetiver smell when applied, which is always a good thing when buying a vetiver named product!
