  Vetiver has been my first olfactory love since I used Guerlain’s vintage scents. This one starts very strong, almost aggressive, but the intensity fades over time. In the base, a harsh herbal note overtakes the vetiver and changes the entire direction, making it unpleasant to my taste to the point where I wanted to wash my skin. For me, it has an excellent opening and a good heart.

  First, the bottle notes (grapefruit, ginger, vetiver, mate, nutmeg, sandalwood) differ from Fragrantica. Upon application, I smelled sweet citrus with ginger and a bitterness that could be grapefruit, but also an annoying hint of pepper that later blends with a disruptive rosemary. Maybe the mate is to blame for that bitterness. The dry down is a soft sandalwood with nutmeg. As friend Pharaoh said, the green notes and spices drowned out the vetiver, making it almost imperceptible. For me, it’s more of a green-spicy fragrance than a woody one. I feel calling it “Pure Vetiver” is almost a scam, since other vetivers, even Roger & Gallet, define it better. The trail is moderate and lasted over 12 hours, almost skin scent. If you like green or bitter scents, give it a shot; if you’re looking for clarity in vetiver, it’s a waste of money. Ideal for spring or autumn, during the day.
