Answer:
I'd like to add Timbuktu and Route du Vetiver

Answer:
I've been using a solid parfum for years and have always enjoyed it. I don't recall the name, (although I can find it) but it is a deer hunting mask scent. I hang them in the tree limbs around me to cover my human scent. I also hang one on my rear view mirror just because it reminds me of the years I worked the farm. There is no cleaner scent than that of fresh dug dirt.

Answer:
Well hell while we're at it I'll throw in Guerlain Vetiver. Dirt, ass, grass, and tobacco. It's a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils.

YAY! Sounds like I made a good swap!
( (big WIDE grin ) ) You did. Make a good swap that is. VdR has one of my all-time fave mineral/earthy notes.

Answer:
Anvers 2 - Ulrich Lang has a certain damp soil feel to it mixed with floral notes, then the dirt dries and mixes with vanilla and oakmoss maybe. Comforting scent. Bois Farine + Daim Blond + Santal Noble +...oh well...I give up.

Answer:
The Different Company's Sel de Vetiver has a brilliant dirt note. There's also a truffle note in the Frederic Malle Une Rose which smells gorgeously earthy - it's like the rose bush has been bottled roots and all, with mud caked around its base.
Reading the previous posts, I think I need to sample Cumming.
I wish Demeter Dirt hung around a bit more - I don't think you'll have a problem overdoing it! I find you need to carry it around and reapply *frequently* - and I am not the sort of person who carries a purse spray. A shame; I love that particular smell you're describing, and Dirt hits it on the nose for me.
*Runs upstairs to apply some Dirt*

Answer:
I think anything with patchouli in it, especially straight patchouli oil. I bought Etro Patchouly, it's nice, but it's too "dirty" for me. I like an earthy, not green though, smouldering scent. I'm surprised you think that Passage de Enfer has a "dirt" smell? To me, it smelled soapy.
