I had a tub of Un Jour Gris and to me it smelled like laundry detergent. Don't get me wrong it was a nice smelling laundry detergent but definitely not similar to GV and certainly not what I was expecting. I ended up trading it away.
As for a shave soap that truly smells like GV..... I would like to know as well.

The replacement tub (new 'cream soap' forumla) scent was a shadow of its former self. Disappointing. Sold it too.
Interesting, the tub I had was the older/softer soap not the newer cream soap.

Fine Clean Vetiver is based on Guerlian Vetiver, whilst Fine Fresh Vetiver is based on Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
Catie's Bubbles UJG was a disappointment - not even close to TF Grey Vetiver.
My bad. For some reason I can never keep those straight.

And it's my favorite Fine Accoutrements aftershave, Fresh Vetiver that is, along with Lavender Pour Homme, which is their C&S Oxford & Cambridge. They do an excellent job of recreating the scents they target.

Totally agree, fresh vetiver a/s is smashing! D R Harris Windsor is also reasonably close.
