Not my favourite vetiver
Citrusy start, clear vetiver dry down. I think of this as a "middle of the road" vetiver - not too dank, not too heavy, not too earthy - but not as bright or light or dry as other vetivers I've smelled, like in THoO's Each Other, for example. I found this scent to be fairly straightforward and linear. Citrusy top faded quickly, as these are wont to do, leaving my impressions of this fragrance as mostly just a vetiver. A lovely vetiver, but basic and straightforward nonetheless.
The comparison to Terre d'Hermes is obvious and must be commented on. I found it less complex and interesting than TdH, which I was surprised by. I also found it had less longevity and sillage - also a surprise for me given this is an EDP. Perhaps I went noseblind to it? Also notably that the flinty notes I love so much in TDH are absent here.
